Energy

An established record of quality energy research. 

Energy is changing. Society no longer relies on the 'out of sight, out of mind' paradigm of centralised, remote fossil fuel generation inextricably linked to  development. Instead, economics and sustainability together are driving profound change in the ways we produce, distribute, use, and pay for energy. We all have a stake in the future of power.

What was the challenge of securing access to and generation from coal, oil and gas, has become the opportunity to refine peer-to-peer energy trading in a distributed grid system. Where markets and researchers used to systemise the historic value of fuels for trading, we now model the symbiotic production benefits of clean Wind and electrolytic Hydrogen. Innovation is driving a  requirement for quality research into the new energy sources and paradigms, into how we can produce energy securely, sustainably and economically.

WRC provide expert technoeconomic analysis of renewable energy systems.

We have an established track record of delivering cutting-edge research into novel methods of producing, sharing and economising energy production. With every contract we apply a custom approach where unique economic models are developed and outputs can be reported for a viaety of audiences, commercially and within the policy arena. From dynamic feedback systems propelling Active Network Management operations to the optimisation of curtailment economics in onshore Wind, WRC have particular specialisation in matching useful corporate analyses with relevant policy challenges at regional and national levels.
