Web slide set: Setting up a giga watt factory<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the 3\u00a0interviews of\u00a0setting up a giga factory with British Volt Chief Strategic Officer, Isobel Shelton OBE, there are suggested topics which can be mentioned to a class to help focus on the video material.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Slide 6 is a\u00a0Fermi Calculation set as a change of activity\u00a0.. Could use this as some mental sums practice.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Slide 3 has a nice description of Isobel\u2019s career path which might inspire some students.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Good resource for STEM widening participation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Web slide set:\u00a0Energy Storage Systems the Microgrid<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Good homework exercise\u00a0but quite involved ideas and some tricky maths but a good application for GCSE concepts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It starts with a 7.24 interview with Dr Denes Csala, a researcher with the Engineering Department, Lancaster University,\u00a0who discusses the problem of how renewables will only become useful to us if we can store the energy for peak demands. The slides then develop a set of questions on how much energy is needed to be stored, then how many car batteries are needed and then calculations showing what this might look like with batteries in shipping containers\u00a0on football pitches.\u00a0The slide set ends with a calculation of how many Nissan Leafs are needed to store the charge and then reinforces the idea of a microgrid suggested by Denes in the interview.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It starts with a 7.44 min video of an interview with Shahin Nikman, a researcher at Lancaster University Chemistry Department.\u00a0There follow at a basic level questions which check the understanding of energy density, energy capacity and power density.\u00a0Another basic question on using these terms for different battery usage.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
