On 16 October 2025, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Thomas Morstyn, Associate Professor in Power Systems at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, where he also leads the Power Systems Architecture Lab.
Dr. Morstyn delivered a lecture titled “The System-Wide Carbon and Balancing Cost Impacts of Grid Storage in Electricity Markets.” In his talk, he discussed how large-scale energy storage affects carbon emissions and system balancing costs, and how electricity market design can support the transition to low-carbon power systems.
The lecture, attended by around 30 participants, brought together faculty members, researchers, and students for a stimulating discussion on the role of grid storage in the decarbonization of modern energy systems.
Dr. Morstyn’s visit was organized as part of the project “Coordinated Hydrogen and Electricity SyStems and Markets (CHESS)” – IP-2024-05-6299, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation.
We thank Dr. Morstyn for his visit and for sharing his valuable insights with our department.
