معرفی
Dr. Andrew Lyden is a Lecturer in Energy System Economics and Management at the University of Edinburgh's School of Engineering, affiliated with the Institute for Energy Systems. He holds a PhD in Renewable Energy Systems from the University of Strathclyde, an MSc in Renewable Energy Systems & Environment, and a BSc in Physics from the University of Edinburgh.
His research focuses on advancing open-source energy system science including data, models, and outputs. Primary research areas include:
- Net-zero electricity markets and integrated multi-energy systems
- Decarbonized district heating/cooling solutions
- Long-term energy storage technologies (e.g., underground thermal storage)
- Optimization of heat pumps and thermal storage systems
- Development of open-source modelling tools for energy analysis
His publications demonstrate strong focus on energy system modelling innovations, with recent work emphasizing:
- Integration of renewable sources with seasonal storage
- Multi-energy vector system optimization
- Open-source modelling frameworks for national energy systems
- Techno-economic analysis of decarbonization pathways
Teaching responsibilities include course organization for Energy & Environmental Economics (MSC) and supervision of Sustainable Energy Systems dissertations.
