Overview of Sustainable Energy Research Group Paul Deane Sustainable Energy Research Group, Environmental Research Institute University College Cork, Cork, Ireland Economic workshop agenda Sustainable Energy Research Group SERG builds on over 25 years of sustainable energy research within the?School of?Engineering in UCC. The principal research areas are: Bio-energy research-Dr Jerry Murphy Energy policy and modelling-Dr B ó’Gallachóir Wind energy –Dr Eamon McKeogh, Dr Paul Leahy Energy efficiency-Dr Domnic O’Sullivan Staff of 24 (PI, Senior Researchers, PhD students, Post Docs, Master Students) Based mainly in the ERI Sustainable Energy Research Group What we do Energy systems modelling Bottom-up modelling of energy demand Modelling energy efficiency in the industry Modelling the impacts of energy policies and measures Sustainable Energy Research Group Current Projects Energy Systems Modelling – Irish TIMES Modelling the Impact of EVs on GHG Emissions Modelling Energy Efficiency in Industry Improved Modelling of PHES-PLEXOS Empirical Analysis to Improve Modelling of Future Gas Demand Modelling Energy Demand in the Residential Sector Modelling Private Car Transport Energy Modelling Industry Energy Demand and Supply within TIMES Building a LEAP Model for Ireland  Sustainable Energy Research Group No don’t do Detailed electrical studies (Transmission studies etc) Hardware /software development (Gadgets) * * * UCC’s current energy modelling research activity is directly linked to assisting Ireland in setting and delivering on national energy policy priorities. This research seeks to answer key questions, develop greater understanding and build a complementary engineering approach to existing national capacity in macro-economic modelling research. The goal is to provide a research evidence base to underpin decisions on future policy making.? ? UCC’s energy modeling research activity is built on strong collaboration with other academ
