This program focuses on optimising the efficiency and overcoming challenges relating to energy transfer and conversion. Research areas include turbines and turbomachinery, energy storage and energy transport in mechanical forms, such as water, heat and compressed air. Current work focuses on efficient use of energy in cogeneration power systems. Energy storage techniques are investigated to provide stability and ability to deliver base load generation to renewable energy generation systems.

This program focuses on the study of sustainable alternative fuels in internal combustion engines, hybrid and plug-inn hybrid vehicles, dual fuel engines, and hydrogen assisted remote area power systems. Research areas include building control tools for dual fuel injection, optimisation of dual fuel engines with hydrogen and petrol or diesel combination, modelling of hydrogen generation via electrolysis, and performance studies of generators using biodiesel and ethanol combination.
