About Paul Lukehurst

Paul Lukehurst | Principal Design Engineer
Design Leadership

Leading Complex Energy Infrastructure Design

At EvoEnergy, Paul’s work centres on the engineering that underpins high-performance commercial renewables and integrated energy infrastructure. This includes yield-informed PV design, grid connection strategy, export and interface requirements, and the controls logic needed to coordinate solar generation, battery charging and discharging, and high-power EV charging demand. His design input supports projects such as Birmingham Airport’s 6.89 MWp airside ground mount solar PV installation, where the system required a comprehensive glint and glare assessment, varied pitch and azimuth design to manage glare profiles, and adherence to CAA safeguarding and G100 interface requirements.

 

Paul’s background includes directing a UK solar PV company, and he brings that delivery perspective into every design decision, balancing compliance, performance, programme constraints, and long-term asset reliability. He is a Member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology, holds an MEng in Renewable Energy Systems Technology and a BSc in Astrophysics, and has professional training aligned to site and electrical delivery, including SMSTS and BS7671 (18th Edition).

Paul has also contributed technical design expertise on multi-technology energy hubs such as HyperHubs for the City of York Council, combining solar PV canopies (110 kWp), battery storage (348 kW / 507 kWh) and rapid and ultra-rapid EV charging infrastructure, supported by a five-way energy model that accounts for consumption, PV generation, grid import, grid export, and battery charging and discharging. In Leeds, he has supported integrated public sector schemes like Stourton Park & Ride, which combines 1.2 MWp solar carports with a 500 kW / 950 kWh battery and EV charging, where technical layout and design complexity was increased by the site’s circular geometry and closely spaced carport arrangement.
