Siemens partners with Swinburne University to help accelerate energy transition and net zero
Siemens and Swinburne University of Technology have agreed to set up the most advanced future Energy Transition Hub of its kind in Australia in at the University’s Hawthorn campus in Melbourne.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research, Professor Karen Hapgood, stated,
“Australia’s ambitious carbon reduction targets need a multi-pronged approach
by industry, research and government. The new Siemens Swinburne Energy Transition Hub will be
working on new technologies to improve energy efficiency, supply, integration,
storage, transport and use, as well as how we can improve existing technologies
and frameworks. We need change fast, and the Siemens-Swinburne team will focus
on taking ideas to market – where they can make the most impact as quickly as
possible.”
The Hub will enable users to leverage
digital twins of energy grids, map scenarios, research new findings, develop
original and creative hypotheses, and test results. It will be home to a
digital twin of Australia’s energy grid that commercial research teams can use
to run simulations of new, innovative solutions and software.
In addition to R&D and commercialization projects, the hub will deliver short courses for industry professionals. It will also give back to Swinburne students, with Siemens software and the company’s real-world industry experience integrated into engineering technology courses. The Hub will feature software and hardware products from Siemens’ portfolio.
Peter Halliday, CEO and Chairman,
Siemens Australia and New Zealand, said, “Our relationship with Swinburne University
of Technology is long-standing and we’re proud to extend it through the new
Siemens Swinburne Energy Transition Hub. Collaboration between industry and
academia is critical to driving better outcomes on key topics of national
importance such as the energy transition. Digitalization allows you to do more
with less as technology assists you in identifying the opportunities for
reducing energy consumption and emissions whilst acceleration the journey to
net zero.”
In addition to microgrid and planning
stations, the Hub will also feature Siemens’
microgrid management system (MGMS) and decentralized energy optimization
platform (DEOP) software. The microgrid technologies include Sicam
A8000 and Siprotec 5 devices for control and protection. The planning
stations feature Siemens PSS software which is used by
over 70% of utilities and independent system operators including AEMO and grid
operators.
Jose Moreira, Country Business
Unit head – Grid Software, Siemens Australia and New Zealand, added: “Tackling
the speed and change in the energy landscape to create solutions that help
achieve net zero requires a collaborative and co-creative approach. Siemens has
a strong history of working with universities to empower the next generation of
workforce on energy systems of the future. We’re proud to present the Siemens
Swinburne Energy Transition Hub not just to students but to industry as well.
The Hub features some of the latest and best technology used by organizations
across the world and will hopefully spark new Australian innovations for future
energy challenges.”
