Increasing Ireland’s electric grid resilience
A study involving HEAnet finds that it will be possible to monitor the utility grid without satellite-based time data, thereby increasing resilience significantly.
Extremely thin materials improve green energy
Better materials for green energy transition are ahead, as Danish researchers access supercomputing to assist them in their work.
Virtual SuperLab combines nuclear and renewable powers
In a virtual exercise, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) and partners demonstrated that large-scale renewable energy sources can be introduced into the US energy system without interruptions in power supply.
Supercomputing to tackle energy challenges
US researchers were able to simulate an energy system where operators hundreds of kilometers apart work together just like they were sitting side by side in a simulation.
Mapping Europe’s wind energy resource
In a world craving renewable and zero-carbon energy, the economic and societal importance of wind power has become huge.
Simulating atoms for green energy
To help Australia transition to a lower emissions economy, researchers at Griffith University are using the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and AARNet to explore new materials for more efficient green energy production.
Safe Harbour for Migrating Fish and Cleaner Sustainable Energy
Tracking the migratory patterns of fish required connecting a vast number of sensors and cameras and the capacity to flawlessly transfer terabytes of recorded images and signals.
Developing a global model for solar energy
Researchers have designed a uniquely detailed and precise model of solar energy potential on a global scale, and they are offering their data free of charge for everybody to use.

Developing alternative, greener energy sources is a key priority across the world but many countries don’t have the infrastructure and skills needed to create renewable energy industries from scratch. Technology, and in particular research networks, can help develop these skills, transferring knowledge to build the industry.
Creating a roadmap for a new European heating infrastructure
The Heat Roadmap Europe project has set out to map the demand for heating and cooling in 14 European countries, along with the potential sources of surplus and renewable heating and cooling that could be used to supply this demand. The aim is to decarbonise the heating sector of Europe over the next 30-40 years.
