I created this simple tool to help you navigate different possibilities to support your request.

 

Current major projects
1. Assessment, design and operation of battery-supported electric mining vehicles and machinery", known as "Mine Operational Vehicles Electrification (MOVE)"

About the project: In this project, we will provide the Australian mining industry with the tools and information needed to help transition their operations to using battery-supported electric vehicles (BEVs) and associated stationary machinery on mine sites. The Project will enable the resources sector to reduce costs and improve the reliability of energy, improve occupational health and safety (OHS), and reduce the carbon footprint of production.

Project partners: BHP Nickel West, IGO Limited, Energetics Pty Ltd, Allkem, Multicom Resources Limited, the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining (DEM), Queensland’s Department of Energy and Public Works (DEPW), the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) and the University of Western Australia

2. Flexible Aggregator Simulation Platform (FRESNO)

About the project: This project aims to create a platform to simulate, test and verify advanced smart grid operation mechanisms at the distribution level. It is a revolutionary platform that facilitates studying larger amounts of renewable integration into the grid to provide a secure environment for larger adoption of electric vehicles by avoiding the excessive capital cost of grid upgrades.

Project partners: Watts from Denmark

About me

BSc, MSc, and PhD with first-class honours in Power Systems Engineering
IEEE Senior Member

My research interests are optimal stationary and mobile battery storage sizing, operation, and aggregation for power system applications and Ancillary Services through demand response for the future smart grid. We use advanced optimisation techniques, time series analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve existing and upcoming issues in the power systems' operation at the transmission and distribution levels.
