Our聽energy聽systems聽research is聽making聽a bit聽impact on the evolution of our existing energy delivery systems.听A focus on聽sustainable聽development to realise a low emissions economy will target electrification of diverse systems,聽opening聽new and exciting fields of research for energy systems.听
An聽example is significant changes occurring in the generation, and supply of electrical energy. There is a shift from a centralised model of generation to one where generation is dispersed and distributed around the electrical network. Distributed generation is providing users with a lower-carbon source of energy that are efficient and potentially more flexible. Other examples聽include聽transportation electrification, which includes hybrid and all electric cars to hydrogen-powered aircraft.听
Energy systems research focuses on advanced power conversion and power systems applications which include the electricity grid, automotive and aerospace applications, and energy market economy.听Our聽expertise聽spans across several聽key areas:聽
- Renewable generation and integration聽
- Energy conversion聽
- Energy storage systems聽
- Power system operations聽
- Protection systems聽
- High-voltage systems聽
- Power electronics and conversion聽
- Electric drive systems聽
- Condition monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics聽
- Energy economics聽
Our experts have聽specific聽research capabilities聽within聽听补苍诲听.听We聽have聽strong collaboration with industries in Australia and beyond, and research innovations of the team have been commercialised by industries.听聽
We聽have close ties with聽our colleagues in the聽鲍狈厂奥听, 鲍狈厂奥听聽国产精品鈥檚 Hydrogen Energy Research Centre (HERC) and聽.听
