New training centre to advance Australia’s transition to a clean energy future

$5m centre will deliver next generation of industry leaders and specialists

The 妹团视频 (妹团视频) has been awarded $5m funding as part of the Australian Government鈥檚 commitment to commercialising Australian research under its Industrial Transformation Research Program, announced today (Wednesday 21 July 2021).

The Program will fund $36.4 million into eight new Research Hubs and $37.8 million will see eight new Training Centres commence operations.

妹团视频 has received the funding for an ARC Training Centre in Energy Technologies for Future Grids, led by from the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences.

鈥淭he Training Centre will address the complex and challenging issues currently limiting the growth of renewable energy through innovations that facilitate widespread integration of these resources into electricity grids while maintaining grid stability,鈥� Professor Muttaqi said.

鈥淚t will advance Australia鈥檚 transition to a clean energy future and will deliver the next generation of industry leaders and specialists in future grid technologies for renewable energy generation, transmission and distribution.

鈥淪upported by renewable hydrogen energy storage and market-driven customer responsiveness enabled by new information and communications technologies, this will provide a more sustainable, reliable, secure and affordable electricity system.鈥�

, , , and from 妹团视频鈥檚 School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering are also Chief Investigators on the project.

Minister for Education and Youth Alan Tudge said the projects will create stronger research and industry connections in areas including energy, biomedical technology and agriculture.

鈥淭hese facilities will bring together our finest research minds and leading businesses to tackle the key strategic challenges facing our nation, our region and the world,鈥� Minister Tudge said.

鈥淭hey will ensure we are getting the most out of our world-class research while transferring that information into real-world outcomes that will help our post-COVID economic recovery and strengthen our nation.鈥�

鈥淭he training centres will also equip our future generation of researchers by giving students and postdoctoral researchers practical skills and experience through industry placements.鈥�

妹团视频 Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Jennifer Martin (Research and Innovation) congratulated the team and said the funding will help deliver world-class industry-linked research into renewable energy and boost Australia鈥檚 transition to a clean energy future.

鈥溍猛攀悠� is committed to embedding the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across our three pillars of education, research and community. I am absolutely delighted that this new Research Training Centre has been awarded to conduct world-class research with a direct impact on SDG7, Clean and Affordable Energy,鈥� Professor Martin said.

鈥淭he new Training Centre will deliver solutions to complex issues that create barriers to Australia鈥檚 transition to a clean energy future which is sustainable, cost effective and environmentally friendly.鈥�

妹团视频 researchers , and Honorary Fellow are also collaborating with the new ARC Research Hub for Connected Sensors for Health, also announced today.

Led by Professor Chun Wang at the University of New South Wales, the Hub aims to develop, manufacture and deploy high-tech, cyber-secure, medically certified IoT sensors to global health markets by integrating disparate Australian capabilities into a productive end-to-end value chain.
