Internationally, the residential sector makes up 31% of global energy use [1]. In 2015, Australian households were responsible for 23.5% of Australia's total net electricity demand [2] at 456 PJ annually [3]. Without ...

Electricity markets face multiple challenges such as intermittent electricity generation, high levels of average prices, and price volatility. Moreover, future electricity generation is required to be environmentally ...

Heavy industries such as construction, mining and transport typically have dangerous work environments, where injuries and fatalities are rampant despite all the rules and regulations. Such mishaps are largely due to ...

In recent years silicon photonics has become a considerable mainstream technology, especially in telecommunications fields to overcome the limitations imposed by copper-based technology. Nanoscale photonic technologies ...

Nanophotonic technologies have attracted a lot of attention to co-develop optical and electronic devices on Silicon (Si) that further modern optical communications in miniaturization. Photonic devices with significantly ...

Voltage Stability (VS) is gaining increasing significance in today's power systems, which are undergoing sizeable growth in power consumption and higher integration of renewables. Economic and environmental barriers impede ...

This thesis concerns ubiquitous broadband in Australia. We use a comparative-static computable general equilibrium model to analyse the economic effects, and to derive the environmental effects of the National Broadband ...
