Energy and Power Group

The EPG group has been involved in the launch of the Hyban hydrogen city car click to check out our media gallery and to read the press coverage of the event.

The Energy & Power Group is located in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. This is a growing group led by Dr Malcolm McCulloch. The main area of research is the sustainable use of energy. The sustainable use of energy is an issue of great concern, especially in light of global warming. The group is actively engaged in providing technical expertise in the development of hydrogen based cars. It is also developing technologies to help the domestic market reduce their energy needs. We have recently been involved in Changing the Climate. The group's past research effort in HTS has been on developing an understanding on how to best optimise the use of high temperature superconductors for use in electrical machines. To this end we have a two pronged approach: firstly to develop modelling tools and secondly to develop prototypes.
