ANU wins $7.7 million in latest ARENA funding

The work that our engineers are doing in renewable energy is truly outstanding, and the funding from ARENA will help them to continue their excellent research. ANU has won $7.7 million in the latest round of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) funding to help solve the world's challenges in energy security and climate change. ANU will lead six ARENA-funded projects and will play an important role in six others. ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt AC said the ARENA funding announcement demonstrated that ANU was at the leading edge in renewable energy research. "The work that our engineers are doing in renewable energy is truly outstanding, and the funding from ARENA will help them to continue their excellent research," Professor Schmidt said. "On behalf of the University, I congratulate the grant recipients and I'm really looking forward to seeing the exciting results in the years to come." ANU Research School of Engineering researchers Professor Kylie Catchpole, Professor Andres Cuevas, Professor Dan Macdonald, Professor Andrew Blakers and Dr Kean Chern Fong will be lead chief investigators on the six ANU-led projects. Professor Macdonald's team will receive $2.4 million to research key sources of power loss in silicon photovoltaic (PV) technology, and it will span the entire production chain.
