Control and communications for high value distributed electrical storage. The project aims to develop a new framework to support the successful deployment of resilient ‘prosumer-based’ energy systems. The increasing deployment of new energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and battery and other energy storages, challenges the current operating regimes of energy systems. The successful and active participation of prosumers, who are both producers and consumers of energy, ....Control and communications for high value distributed electrical storage. The project aims to develop a new framework to support the successful deployment of resilient ‘prosumer-based’ energy systems. The increasing deployment of new energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and battery and other energy storages, challenges the current operating regimes of energy systems. The successful and active participation of prosumers, who are both producers and consumers of energy, becomes a critical issue in the operation and management of such systems. The proposed framework explores ways to integrate new technology into existing systems, focusing on new methods of energy management with interactions with millions of devices and storage units, and real-time communications to devices.Read moreRead less
Cloud scheduling and management of energy systems with real-time support. This project aims to research cloud scheduling and management of modern energy systems with real-time communication support. The approach consists of optimisation with balanced benefits for customers, aggregators and network service providers for modern energy systems; real-time communication support for unified energy scheduling and management over many microgrids; and cloud energy scheduling and management with deadline ....Cloud scheduling and management of energy systems with real-time support. This project aims to research cloud scheduling and management of modern energy systems with real-time communication support. The approach consists of optimisation with balanced benefits for customers, aggregators and network service providers for modern energy systems; real-time communication support for unified energy scheduling and management over many microgrids; and cloud energy scheduling and management with deadline guarantee. This project is expected to facilitate increasing deployment of disruptive energy technologies on a massive scale, create opportunities for energy industries, and maintain Australia’s leading position in renewable energy.Read moreRead less
