Situated just metres off the coast of Fife, the 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine (LDT) was acquired by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult in 2015 and is the world’s largest and most advanced open access offshore wind turbine dedicated to research and demonstration. Since then, 112 SMEs have accessed the facility for technology development, testing or demonstration, providing an invaluable and unique facility for businesses to innovate, to prove new technologies and find vital...

Second life applications relate to the point when a battery has deteriorated such that it is no longer useful in a vehicle. At this point it can still be adapted for many other purposes including domestic properties. These new facilities at Warwick include a bespoke power system providing 500-kVA bidirectional power transfer capability between the mains and a DC micro grid within the facility at 750 V DC. The DC micro grid allows for power transfer between the various systems connected to it...
