Would you shift your daily energy use to match the times when renewable energy is most available? Making our daily lives more sustainable is something many of us aspire to, and flexibility has become a central concept in these discussions,\u00a0and of future energy systems. Many of the proposed solutions hinge on the idea that demand can \u2018flex\u2019 to meet supply, particularly when energy is being generated from intermittent sources like wind and solar. But can these really work?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Professor Jacopo Torriti explores research on the extent to which pricing mechanisms, emerging technologies, and the relationship between people\u2019s daily routines and their energy use can help us to understand how important balancing renewable supply with fluctuating demand will be for the future of greener energy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
