The wind power industry in Australia is expected to grow rapidly over the next decade, primarily due to a forthcoming expanded national renewable energy target (RET) which will mandate that renewable sources provide approximately 20% of Australia’s electricity production by 2020. However, development of new wind generation in Australia has stalled as a result of several barriers to project finance, the mechanism through which most wind farms have been developed historically.

Efficient integration of wind energy in power grids is challenging due to the variability of wind energy. The uncertainty of wind impacts various system level considerations such as the reliability and operational planning of power grids. Mischaracterizing these uncertainties can lead to significant loss of the wind generation. Accurate wind generation forecast models are imperative for efficient integration of wind generation in power grids.

Prof. Hersam\'s work with titania (TiO2) catalysts and graphene has demonstrated increased photocatalytic conversion efficiency and increased throughput compared to prior titania or titania-composite catalysts. Titania catalysts are a growing tool for the decomposition of hazardous organic chemicals. In the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light titania generates hydroxyl radicals that break down pesticides industrial solvents odor and taste compounds as well as destroying many pathogenic microorganisms.
