RESEARCH
Overview
Adam's areas of research interest fall into five categories:
- Economy-wide energy systems modelling
- Technologies and pathways for low carbon heat
- Design and operation of microgrids and more integrated/coordinated energy systems
- Fuel cells, polygeneration, and other cutting-edge energy conversion technologies
- Residential energy supply and demand, with a focus on microgeneration
In the field of energy systems modelling, Adam's research addresses seeks to bridge the gap between siloed energy technology assessment and the role of those technologies in integrated energy systems. Multi-scale modelling is applied to reflect the critical design and operational parameters of energy technologies and infrastructures into the energy system as a whole, providing engineers and policy makers with insight into the value of particular technology characteristics, and aiding prioiritsation of technology R&D.
