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.
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.
Battery storage provides significant advantages for integrating intermittent renewable energy systems into the electricity grid. Battery storage has the potential to become standard in new renewable energy installations, increasing their competitiveness and greater deployment of renewables.
Massive penetration of energy storage systems presents new opportunities for power network operators and individual customers. Innovative cooperation of distributed energy storage systems can improve power quality while bringing additional capacity, flexibility and redundancy into power networks.
