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.
The security of coastlines can be greatly enhanced using sonar arrays including those towed by autonomous marine drones. This technology produces low-cost, robust, lightweight and power-efficient towed-array sonars based on optical sensing technologies developed in collaboration with industry partners.
Optical solutions for industrial and biomedical sensing applications. These include monitoring under hazardous conditions such as those found in petrochemical plants, mines and food processing environments, and monitoring and imaging of neuronal activities in biological tissues such as those found in the brain, retina and muscle.
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.
