Christchurch, New Zealand - Critical Peak Demand

Christchurch, New Zealand - Critical Peak Demand

Details  The critical peak demand in Christchurch is in the winter evenings and mornings. The winter air pollution greatly exceeds health standards due to wood burning in about 10% of households. The peak loads are predominantly residential.  More than 40% of housing stock has no insulation. Aside from wood, household end-uses are almost exclusively electric. Electricity prices have been rising substantially. There are several scenarios that could improve security and help to manage costs, but there are also some surprising shift projects that have come out of considering this wicked problem.Tags    Energy Transition

Coming in 2019: On-line course

Details  ENME405/605 University of Canterbury
18 Feb - 3 June
Anyone who agrees with the objectives and ethics of GATE can join as an Associate Member. But to gain status as an Engineering Member and be recognised as a professional Transition Engineer, you need to learn the approach to wicked problems, the methodology and tools. Transition Engineering is non-denominational so any accredited undergraduate degree qualification is sufficient.Link  https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/courseinfo... Tags    InTIME  Course

Pop the Hydrogen Bubble

Pop the Hydrogen Bubble

Details  If you are an engineer who is intrigued by the idea of Green Hydrogen as a part of the Energy Transition, then you need to learn more about it. Imagine that you have the job of making some energy supply system work for an energy service. Go through all the different ideas - including discovering a Shift Project - that's right innovating. Carry out a Strategic Analysis of the different ideas. You will find that the hydrogen ideas simply and plainly are not feasible. Do whatever you can to get your head and others out of the hydrogen bubble.

Details  Transition Engineering has emerged out of research into energy engineering, but in challenging and complex relationships with society, policy, transport, buildings, economics and un-sustainability. Some very special people have taken years out of their lives to boldly go where no-one has gone before, and to push their creativity to the absolute limits by taking on the truly heretical question of how do we engineer the future that society wants rather than the one we are heading for.Link  www.aemslab.org.nz/Tags    Research
