The ANU 100% Renewable Energy group conducts research in the deployment and integration of renewable energy, working towards carbon-neutrality around the world.
All initial Atlases will be followed with a final dataset.
Bluefield PHES use an existing reservoir to make a PHES pair – Greenfield PHES use two new reservoirs.
This website contains much of our work output and research interests. Please get in contact with us if you want to discuss anything further, whether it be pumped hydro reservoir siting, transport efficiency and electrification, energy balance modelling, or anything else related to the decarbonisation of energy.
China’s solar dominance not an issue
Professor Andrew Blakers and Professor Ricardo Rüther (UFSC) have published an article in PV Magazine discussing whether China’s dominance in the solar manufacturing industry is an issue. The following is an excerpt.
Decarbonising Southeast Asia through solar and pumped hydro
Tim Weber and Andrew Blakers have published an article in the East Asia Forum explaining the almost unlimitless potential for solar photovoltaics in Southeast Asia, which can be combined with pumped hydro.
Solar and wind generation will soon pass nuclear, hydro
Professor Andrew Blakers and Professor Ricardo Rüther (UFSC) have published an article in PV Magazine highlighting the incredible growth rates of solar and wind, which mean that total electricity generated from these.
No threat to farm land, just 1,200 square kilometres can fulfil Australia’s solar and wind energy needs
