Newcastle University is a public research university in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England. Newcastle University is a member of the Russell Group, an association of the 24 leading research-intensive UK universities, and it is one of the eight Russell Group Universities to achieve a Gold Teaching Excellence Framework rating. The University’s vision is to advance education and research and to help society tackle the many challenges it faces.

The academics at Newcastle who are working on the SmartHubs project are based in the Electrical Power Research Group, within the University’s School of Engineering. The group is the UK’s largest academic research group in Electrical Power, with specialisms in Power Systems and Energy Storage research.

For SmartHubs, Newcastle University will use mathematical methods in order to evaluate the whole series of network management techniques used in the project. The team will bring modelling expertise to SmartHubs, providing a detailed technical understanding of the performance parameters of each technology to be deployed.
