{"id":125907,"count":7,"description":"Microgeneration refers to small scale systems that generate electricity and\/or heat for domestic dwellings. Some systems have been commercially available for some time, for example solar thermal collectors that provide hot water and photovoltaic panels that generate electricity. A change in energy policy and recent developments in technology have prompted the emergence of micro-scale wind turbines and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Micro generation is seen as a bold step towards decentralising power generation, reducing fuel poverty and increasing the percentage of power generated from renewable or low carbon sources. Research within the group encompass, solar thermal, combined heat and power, photovoltaics (PV)  and micro wind.","link":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/serg\/category\/research\/microgeneration-technologies\/","name":"Microgeneration Technologies","slug":"microgeneration-technologies","taxonomy":"category","parent":69,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/serg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/125907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/serg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/serg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/serg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/69"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/serg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=125907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
