What happens when the lights go out?

September 21, 2020 johnmarmstrong

At 4:52pm on Friday 9th August a lightning strike hit a transmission circuit at 4.5km from the Wymondley substation. It was a pretty normal day in the UK transmission system but that single bolt of lightening caused significant disruption. Trains were stopped for hours and the country took a significant time to recover. Continue reading What happens when the lights go out?

What’s making Heat Pump take-up so sluggish?

September 16, 2020September 17, 2020 johnmarmstrong

I have recently become fascinated by heat pumps and have been surprised by why take-up in the UK remains stubbornly low… despite global installations running at in excess of 18 million a year. In fact having recently installed a condensing … Continue reading What’s making Heat Pump take-up so sluggish?

Hydrogen may be a bit like Marmite.

September 16, 2020September 17, 2020 johnmarmstrong

I have recently seen more and more articles about Hydrogen in heating and attended conferences where the potential for our heating in the future to be delivered by Hydrogen is widely discussed. Others suggest through increased electrification and improved efficiency a complex Hydrogen … Continue reading Hydrogen may be a bit like Marmite.
