| Summary | Ocean to End-User will be delivered as a summer school run by the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and as a field trip to Orkney. It will take a holistic view considering sources ORE energy and balances these with demand for electricity, heat and fuel. In particular, it will draw on work on Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES) and look at the integration of Hydrogen as an energy vector and the societal aspects of local energy systems. |
