Neal has over 15 years’ experience in the power and energy sector.  Initially in the design of appliance power supplies and latterly as the lead on projects in the electricity distribution and off-grid power sectors. These projects have investigated innovative methods to integrate generation, storage and demand technologies that can cost-efficiently decarbonise the power sector. His methods include analysis, modelling, simulation, experimentation in energy labs and demonstration activities in real settings.

This work has developed a keen understanding of the need for careful planning of energy systems, to maximise the integration of demand and generation technologies within the energy system and to operate these assets effectively for multiple stakeholders.

He develops new ideas, seeks funding, manages researchers and collaborates with partners. He teaches electrical engineering to undergraduate and postgraduate students and supervises research students.
