Evaluation Of Renewable Energy Generation And Storage For Industrial Buildings, Craig Pickup Jan 2023

Evaluation Of Renewable Energy Generation And Storage For Industrial Buildings, Craig Pickup

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 2017+

This research focuses on the financial aspects of the underutilised industrial renewable energy generation and storage market in Australia, where the developed methodology is applied to two distribution warehouses and a large energy consuming manufacturer. Throughout Australia the residential and utility scale renewable energy market is booming, however the industrial market has been lagging behind at a fraction of the residential generation capacity in 2020. This lack of uptake in the industrial market is attributed to perceived costs and lack of industry knowledge. This research simplifies the results of solar PV and energy storage design into key financial metrics that …


Drivers Of Variability Of Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide In Australia, Shyno Susan John Jan 2023

Drivers Of Variability Of Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide In Australia, Shyno Susan John

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 2017+

There remains much uncertainty in estimating and characterising the Southern Hemisphere’s atmospheric composition compared to the better explored Northern Hemisphere. This poses significant challenges for analysing and modelling short-lived tropospheric trace gases, especially carbon monoxide (CO). Due to limited influence from anthropogenic emissions, compared to the Northern Hemisphere, sites studied in the southern hemisphere show that carbon monoxide tends to be affected by a balance of long-range transport, secondary organic production and removal via its primary sink, the hydroxyl radical (OH). This PhD thesis is focused on using a combination of ground-based and satellite-based measurements and chemical transport modelling to …
