Its kicking in $5.2m for a “future energy grid lab”

This will be a “digital twin” of an energy grid, to be used for teaching and research.  It builds on a range of similar investments at universities across the country, for example, a “virtual oil rig” at UWA, a digital manufacturing plant, set up at Swinburne U in 2017and a product managing system for big shipbuilds at Uni SA.

In 2021 Siemens also established a digital energy test lab at RMIT to model how wind and solar supply will work on the grid. .
