Energy Systems
The Energy Systems Program considers how different energy technologies interact with one another, society and the environment. The program includes the technical, economic and environmental analysis of energy networks, wholesale and retail energy markets and energy system planning.
Capabilities
- Energy network, system and market integration of renewable energy sources
- Distributed energy resources and smart grids
- Integrated energy networks and multi-energy systems
- Security, reliability and resilience assessment of future energy systems
- Retail energy markets and consumer behaviours control trials, big data and machine learning
Impact
