Description/Applicant information
Households are taking control of their energy supply through solar PV systems and increasingly, battery storage and EVs. This Industry PhD project will investigate the role of green hydrogen in the home to supplement these systems and how it can be applied in the Western Australian context. The research questions for this project will investigate the technical, regulatory and social aspects of deploying this energy source in households, in a small scale and possibly portable manner.
The Industry PhD project is undertaken in collaboration with Starling Energy, the industry partner.Student type
