Annual Report
The Centre produces an annual report every autumn highlighting key activities carried out on behalf of SWEEG over the past year. Our 2020 Annual Report is now available to download, along with earlier reports on our publications page.
Capabilities
Recent additions to our monitoring and analysis capabilities include GSM-based dataloggers with remote connectivity, dataloggers for logging MODBUS devices, multi-channel monitoring of plug-in electrical loads and thermal imaging. Within the university we also benefit from access to advanced imaging equipment such as the scanning electron microscope and analysis through energy dispersive spectrometry. We are always happy to discuss consultancy projects requiring datalogging and data analysis.
