Biography
Christos Markides is Professor of Clean Energy Technologies, Head of the Clean Energy Processes Laboratory, and leads the Experimental Multiphase Flow Laboratory, which is the largest experimental space of its kind at Imperial College London. He is the Editor-in-Chief of journal Applied Thermal Engineering, and a founding Director and CEO of Imperial spin-out company www.solarflow.co.uk. He specialises in applied thermodynamics, fluid flow and heat/mass transfer processes in high-performance devices, technologies and systems for thermal-energy recovery, utilization, conversion or storage. He has published >350 journal and >400 conference articles on these topics. He has won multiple awards, including IMechE's 'Donald J. Groen' outstanding paper prize in 2016, IChemE's 'Global Award for Best Research Project' in 2018, and received Imperial College's President Awards for Research Excellence in 2017.
Abstract
IDLES is a 5-year, £7M programme that started in November 2018 with the aim of providing the evidence needed to facilitate a cost-effective and secure transition to a low-carbon future for the UK. This nationally funded programme centres on whole-energy-systems analysis, and aims to develop a multiscale tool that can identify optimal, integrated systems, while coordinating the complex developments and interactions within the wider energy domain.
In this talk, we will first review the ongoing research within the IDLES programme, and then proceed to discuss activities related to the value of select technologies within whole-system assessments. Trade-offs between performance and cost descriptions of existing technologies but also of emerging, disruptive solutions will be discussed, with a focus on heating decarbonisation and the role of energy storage as part of transition pathways for the UK energy system.
