Work Based Learning (WBL) programmes such as Degree Apprenticeships (DAs) have the potential to widen participation in Higher Education and transform lives, while also supplying the engineering industry with high calibre workforce that are committed, knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. In 2019, Aston University's Professional Engineering Cent...

Since 2004, Aston University has been delivering work-based learning (WBL) engineering degrees to key UK Energy sector employers, such as National Grid. National measures for widening participation in HE, such as the Degree Apprenticeship Levy, have led to significant changes in learning background diversity of WBL cohorts, consequently increasing...
Knowledge of the currents is a key foundation for smart grid applications. However, knowledge of low voltage currents is generally poor. The new information streams from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)/smart meters and the monitoring of distribution substations offer the opportunity of rectifying this. Unfortunately, often not all the smart...
Access to smart meter data will enable electricity distribution companies to have a far clearer picture of the operation of their low voltage networks. This in turn will assist in the more active management of these networks. An important current knowledge gap is knowing for certain which phase each customer is connected to. Matching the loads from...
Losses on low voltage networks are often substantial. For example, in the UK they have been estimated as being 4% of the energy supplied by low voltage networks. However, the breakdown of the losses to individual conductors and their split over time are poorly understood as generally only the peak demands and average loads over several months have...
