Griffith University
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Renewable Energy Engineering)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationAustralia has a plan to reach net-zero by 2050 and renewable energy (e.g. wind and solar) is the key to unlocking the carbon emission reduction. Thus, the investment in renewable energy generation has increased dramatically over recent years in Australia, which also creates a big job market in the renewable energy integration and energy storage sector. Renewable energy will bring opportunities to reduce carbon emissions while it also brings technological challenges to the security of the existing power grid. By studying renewable energy integration courses, you will master the renewable energy integration technologies, methods of analysis, and solutions to mitigate the new challenges. The main job markets are Australian Energy Market Operator, transmission/distribution network service providers, power industry consulting companies, solar/wind farm commissioning companies, and renewable energy development/construction companies.
