ARC Training Centre in Energy Technologies for Future Grids

DESCRIPTION

The proposed Training Centre in energy technologies for future grids will deliver high quality skilled work-force specialised in the design, operation and control of clean energy generation, transmission and distribution, and the management of customer loads, storage and renewables. The Centre will contribute to build the human and technical capability that Australia needs to boost workplace readiness and drive the development of new technologies for future grids to achieve sustainable growth and economic benefits. It will also make the power grids ready for operating with hundred per-cent renewables and advance breakthroughs in managing energy resources and enhance industry capability in producing, storing and utilising renewable hydrogen.
