ANU Centre for Energy Systems’ Post

It's official! We are delighted to announce the establishment of the ANU Centre for Energy Systems (ACES), a new centre with some familiar faces. ACES incorporates the ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program and the ANU 100% Renewable Energy Group (RE100 ANU), bringing together some of the world's pioneering experts in clean energy technologies. The Centre is co-led by two exceptional female leaders, Professor Kylie Catchpole FAA FTSE and Associate Professor Heather Logie and draws together researchers working on key areas of energy transition including socio-techno-economic analysis, the electrification of transport, multi-energy system modelling, pumped hydro energy storage, perovskite and tandem solar cell development and green hydrogen. Here is a short video introducing Kylie and her outstanding research achievements in increasing solar cell efficiency and solar hydrogen technology. 🤩 The video was created by the The Australian Academy of Science where Kylie was recently elected a Fellow by her peers. https://lnkd.in/gNhSFR8X One key focus area of ACES going forward will be pumped hydro. Approximately 95% of the world's long duration energy storage comes from pumped hydro. Off-river pumped hydro is an affordable, environmentally sound form of storage and there is much that can be done in this space to assist the energy transition, particularly in our neighbouring South East Asian countries. We are honoured to be working with, and supporting, Professor Andrew Blakers and his Eureka award winning Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Atlases, an extraordinarily useful set of resources that identify 860,000 suitable off-river pumped hydro sites worldwide. #energyinnovation #pumpedhydro #PHES #energystorage #energysystems #energypioneers #energytransition #trailblazing #knowledgesharing #capacitybuilding
