Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Sebastian is a Consultant, working in the Net Zero Transition Team at EA Technology.

Sebastian graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UCL where he picked up an interest in renewable energy systems. Since joining EA Technology he has been looking into the challenges facing the energy supply industry, including themes such as future skills requirements, use of data, development of smart local energy systems and integration of Low Carbon Technologies.

In the Net Zero Transition Team, Sebastian has been involved in a range of projects including: evaluating decarbonisation solutions for industry, identifying smart local energy system opportunities, predicting ultrarapid EV charging behaviour and analysing the impact of Low Carbon Technologies on the distribution network.

Senior Consultant

Esther is a Senior Consultant in the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure team.  She is a Chartered Engineer with over a decade of experience in the power engineering sector, focusing on low carbon technologies such as electric vehicles and energy storage.  She has a particular interest in the integration of electric vehicles with the energy system.  Recent project experience includes acting as technical lead for Electric Nation : Electric Nation, a large trial of domestic smart charging which demonstrated how this technology can be used with high customer acceptability to manage increased demand on electricity networks relating to EV charging.  She is currently overseeing the integration of transport model data within the ConnectMore tool on the Charge project.  ConnectMore will allow stakeholders to understand demand for EV charging, and the available network capacity within a single tool, facilitating the roll-out of EV charging infrastructure.

 Esther is also actively involved in promoting STEM and engineering to a diverse audience, including recently completing a project with the Queen’s School in Chester, and presenting her work on Electric Nation to the LGBT STEMinar.

Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Tom holds the role of Consultant, working in the Net Zero Transition Team at EA Technology.

Tom recently completed the Cheshire Energy Hub graduate scheme where he gained experience working in a range of roles and companies within the energy sector, ranging from developing software to speed up Electric Vehicle Charge Point connection requests for EA Technology’s Innovation Delivery Team, to working in protection at Scottish Power Energy Networks.

Tom is currently involved in projects looking at enabling DNOs to facilitate the Net Zero Transition at the best possible value to customer by analysing flexible solutions to avoid costly network reinforcement, and where traditional solutions are required conducting a Cost-Benefit Analysis to demonstrate the best valued propositions.

Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Louise graduated with a MEng in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from Strathclyde University and having a passion for the future energy challenges she joined National Grid Ventures. Louise has a range of experience including working on projects regarding Carbon Capture Usage and Storage, HVDC Interconnectors and the decarbonisation of the National Grid

She is currently delivering projects that will enable EA Technology’s customers to understand their asset performance and health to improve quality of supply to their customers.

Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Kidus is a Consultant, working within the Net Zero Transition Team at EA Technology.

Kidus graduated from the University of Nottingham with an MEng in Electrical & Electronics Engineering and pursued a MSc at the University of Strathclyde in Electrical Power and Energy Systems, to learn more about renewable energy systems and electrical networks. After recently graduating in 2022, he joined EA technology as a graduate consultant within the Net Zero Transition Team.

Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Andreas is a Consultant in the Net Zero Transition Team at EA Technology. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford, a Master of Science (MSc, Cum Laude) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Stellenbosch, and a Bachelor of Science (BSc, first class honours) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cape Town.

Prior to joining EA Technology, Andreas has worked in both industry and academia, having worked as an R&D Engineer at Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) in Namibia and as a Research Associate in Future Energy Networks at the University of Bristol, respectively. He is a highly analytical engineer with extensive experience in delivering insights for the development of sustainable technical solutions to complex challenges in the energy sector, particularly those relating to decarbonising the energy system.

As a part of the Net Zero Transition Team, Andreas' work is focused on providing technical support and advice to businesses in the UK and across the world with the goal to help them achieve their net zero targets.
