DESCRIPTION:This is an informal event for students\, researchers\, and aca
 demics interested in energy tech\, entrepreneurship and deep tech venture 
 capital.\n\n​Join us for a talk and Q&A with Matthew Williams\, Founder 
 & CEO of IONATE. Followed by networking over coffee and cakes.\n\n​Trans
 forming Power: Hardware-Software Backbone for a Self-Optimising Electricit
 y Grid\n\n​IONATE is commercialising a breakthrough in grid-scale power 
 transformer design\, bringing to market the world's first Hybrid Intellige
 nt Transformer.\n\n​When we think about the future of energy\, there are
  seemingly opportunities to add intelligence and increase efficiency acros
 s the entire supply chain from energy generation to transmission and stora
 ge.\n\n​There is also a growing need to increase the resilience of energ
 y infrastructure to ensure the power supply to critical infrastructure. Th
 e grid itself needs to be expanded and upgraded to enable continuing elect
 rification in multiple industries.\n\n​At the heart of this are transfor
 mers that control the flow of energy across the grid. Many people talk abo
 ut smart transformers but what are they\, how do they work\, and what are 
 the electrical and mechanical engineering challenges to be overcome in ord
 er to realise them?\n\n​https://www.iqcapital.vc/company/ionate\n\n​ht
