Energy systems and design

Combining together the knowledge of different energy technologies, both renewable and conventional, plus the electrical transmission and distribution systems that link them and the load centres together, this unit guides you through the process of designing and modelling the Australian Electricity Market of the future. You will examine the resources available in terms of quality and variation in time and space, and how the variations correlate with demand for electricity. The role of energy storage technologies and demand-side management will also form a critical part of the modelling approach.
