Professor Phil Taylor

Professor Phil Taylor is Director of the Institute for Sustainability, Siemens Professor of Energy Systems and Leads the EPSRC National Centre for Energy Systems Integration (CESI). He is an internationally leading researcher and industrial expert in energy systems, electrical distribution networks, smart grids and energy storage integration and control. Electrical energy storage is central to the world’s energy future. It is vital to decarbonisation of the energy network, increases energy security and delivers energy user savings. Phil’s research team is leading large-scale energy storage demonstration projects throughout the UK. He is a leading researcher on the Energy Storage for Low Carbon Grids project funded by the EPSRC that is working with multiple academic and industrial partners. The project aims to develop an integrated, cost-effective approach to deploying energy storage technology. Phil and his research team are behind the smart grid lab in collaboration with Siemens, and energy storage test bed facility at NU. Both will be located at Science Central. NU researchers at these unique facilities are working with industry to pave the way for the UK’s future as an international leader in energy storage.　　Phil works regularly with energy suppliers and distributers in the UK on the use of energy storage for power quality improvement in distribution networks. He is an advisor to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in Malaysia regarding energy storage, Director of the EPSRC funded Multidisciplinary Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy and is overseeing the development of Science Central, Newcastle’s flagship project in urban sustainability.
