TRANSFORMING ENERGY
Our researchers are developing advanced energy conversion and storage systems to assist in converting and storing energy from variable renewable energy sources (known as Power-to-X). This
Gatton solar research facility battery storage system
A 600 kW, 760 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has been integrated with The University of Queensland (UQ) Gatton Solar Research Facility (GSRF). This addition to the Australian
Why Jens Noack thinks Queensland can lead the flow battery revolution
Scientists have been studying flow batteries for more than 100 years. For the past 20, so has Adjunct Associate Professor Jens Noack. But it is only now, in Queensland, he believes the
UQ BESS
Located at the University of Queensland''s Gatton Campus, the Battery Energy Storage System integrates with a 3.275MW solar plant. The BESS enables ongoing research and development into
UQ charging up for a sustainable future
UQ Chief Operating Officer Greg Pringle said the large-scale battery and inverter system can store enough energy to power up to 10 per cent of the St Lucia campus for two hours.
UQ at the forefront of Australia''s clean energy transition
University of Queensland researchers will evaluate the efficiency, safety and commercial readiness of underground compressed air energy storage (CAES) in Australia.
