Dan Gladwin is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, within the University of Sheffield. He has particular expertise in energy storage and management, power electronics, and intelligent systems. His primary research is focused on electrical energy storage and power systems across a wide range of applications that include power grids, automotive, rail and robotics. He focuses on energy storage technologies such as batteries, super capacitors, flywheels and gravitational storage, investigating how the different characteristics of each technology can be exploited to meet the requirements of the application, either individually or as a combined solution. He investigates the whole system from the low-level storage components and its behaviour right through to the power electronics and interface to the source or load. Dan has extensive experience of operating energy storage assets on the electrical power grid for arbitrage, frequency response and other ancillary services. He has worked on both wired and wireless charging/V2G for automotive and UAV applications. Scenarios in these works include smart grid integration, off-grid car parks with renewable energy sources, and localised DC networks and micro-grids.
