Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering
Description of field of research:
The project will have the student develop case studies of Hybrid (solar, battery, wind, diesel) Microgrids in Australia. For each site, through information provided by and discussions with, the Hybrid Microgrid operator, the student will identify and document design and operational aspects of Hybrid Microgrids. Assessing each operation and creating the case study will require both technical and data analysis. Feedback from operators/industry on SPREE course SOLA9104 Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems will also be sought to help align it with industry needs.
