Thirty six percent of our fossil fuel consumption is used to generate electricity, and our demand for it is increasing. We need to design and transition to a future where electricity is generated primarily from renewable energy sources. This Icon Project\u2019s research will develop the knowledge and tools required to design and optimise a system composed of a mix of generation technologies, including solar thermal, solar photovoltaic and wind. Variability of renewable energy sources will be overcome by using a combination of reserve capacity, spatially diverse generator locations, energy storage and management of demand to match supply.<br \/>\nA\/Prof. Boland will present how this project will progress the issue of a sustainable energy supply into the future, both in a technological sense and also from the social perspective, to provide Australians with affordable, reliable, clean electricity in a context of environmental sustainability.<br \/>\nAll welcome.<br \/>\nRSVP Stewart Martin.\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Stewart.martin@unisa.edu.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stewart.martin@unisa.edu.au<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: tahoma; font-size: x-small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you live in Adelaide and would like to hear about a 100% renewable powered future then come along and say hi next Wednesday (2 May) At UniSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[45],"class_list":["post-1497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-solar-policy","tag-global-warming","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
