Pilots
Real-world demonstrations
We connect research with practice through pilots with clear learning plans, open artefacts, and replication routes.
Isle of Wight – V2B and V2G sites
What we test
Availability and SoC forecasting, charge scheduling, incentives, interoperability.
What we measure
Peak-shaving, self-consumption, time-varying emissions, value for sites and drivers.
Why it matters
Evidence for scaling V2X in tourism and mixed-use communities with favourable dwell times.
Salford campus – local flexibility and V2G
Focus
Locational signals at the grid edge, consumer protections, cyber-safety.
Outputs
Open datasets, code, and guidance for estates and fleet managers.
Partners
University teams with local and national collaborators. New partners welcome.
MGX – market-grid exchange demonstrator
Open demonstrator linking distribution constraints with local market clearing, including neutrality windows, fairness metrics, and settlement checks.
