The energy trilemma (energy security, environmental impact and social cost) present various complex interconnected challenges. These challenges extend throughout the UK and have a significant international bearing.\u00a0 There is vast diversity in challenges faced regionally due to historical, geographic, political, economic and cultural reasons. As technology and society change so do these challenges.\u00a0 Therefore energy networks planning, design and operation need to adapt.<\/p>\n

Whole-systems approach to energy networks research is not considered the norm. Comprehensive knowledge of the interconnected and interdependent nature of energy network infrastructure is simply not available.\u00a0 The recent development of local energy systems and global energy internet bring further uncertainties and challenges to the development of our energy systems.<\/p>\n
