Power and Energy

The energy sector is undergoing revolutionary changes to deliver energy that is affordable, reliable and clean. Electrical networks are the backbone of the future energy infrastructure. The transition towards low-carbon power and energy systems is being enabled, particularly in Australia, by rapid developments of renewable energy sources (solar and wind) as well as different Smart Grid technologies (different types of energy storage, advanced control of networks and loads). The scale of the changes introduces unprecedented challenges for operating and planning future power and energy systems.

We perform modelling activities, develop tools, and carry out studies to support decision-making across the energy supply and value chains. We work closely with industrial partners and policy makers, and are actively involved in national and international research collaborations and activities with leading institutions. Our research  has strong links with different energy-related research groups within the University.
