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.
Expertise in design and control of novel, power-dense multi-phase electric drives for safety-critical applications, including rail transportation, electric vehicles, marine propulsion drives and aerospace.
Battery storage plays an important role in microgrids, improving grid reliability and resilience while facilitating effective operation of critical and frequency-sensitive loads. Battery storage is critical both for daily operation of a microgrid, as well as providing for grid redundancy in extreme events.
Design, optimisation and control of various permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) geometries, delivering improved torque and power density, reduced cogging torque, and extended constant power operating range.
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.
