Real-time digital simulation of power and energy systems with sufficient resolution (2-50μs) allows for monitoring, operation, control, testing, optimisation, validation and maintenance of large and complex electricity and energy networks.
Real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing expedites innovative solutions for interconnecting electricity grids over long distances, the integration of large-scale remote renewables, addressing intermittency and the formation of super grids.
Extensive expertise in both conventional and non-conventional power generation and provider of a wide range of power system engineering consultancy services to clients in generation, energy storage, transmission and distribution. These services include commercial and technical advice, assistance and strategic guidance for grid connection.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables improved visibility, management and control of networks using software decoupled from switching hardware. Use-cases include analytics of video traffic in carrier networks and flexible cyber-security for enterprise networks.
Robust machine learning algorithms in embedded devices to obtain novel insights and enable real-time decision making while ensuring system security and the privacy of users.
Wireless Communications Lab (WCL) conducts innovative and cutting-edge research in wireless communications; specialising in ultra-reliable M2M and IoT communication technologies for 5G and industrial applications.
Terahertz (THz) radiation has strong penetrability and high bandwidth, which makes it ideal as the key technology for the next generation of non-intrusive imaging scanners and ultra-high bandwidth wireless communications beyond 100 GHz.
Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are poised for widespread use in connecting renewable energy sources to the utility grid, replacing traditional 50 Hz transformers in the distribution and higher voltage grid, microgrids and battery-changing installations.
