RMIT launches ARC Training Centre to help deliver net-zero to Australia

RMIT

The ARC Training Centre in Electrifying Australia for a Net-zero Future will deliver industry-ready researchers and advanced technologies to drive low-carbon energy and transport.

The Centre will train skilled, industry-ready researchers and develop data-driven, machine learning solutions for efficient grid planning and operation under mass electrification.

It will also create mechanisms to engage consumers and accelerate industry adoption through strong partnerships and co-designed projects.

The energy and transport sectors contribute more than 75% of emissions and full electrification combined with increased electricity generation from renewables is key to decarbonise these sectors.

As renewable generation, rooftop solar, battery and EV uptake accelerate, the complexity of managing our electricity system is increasing significantly.

Current grids lack capacity and coordinated charging systems, which pose major challenges for imperative milestones in the transition to renewable energy, such as widespread EV adoption.
