The transformed energy landscape will significantly shape the global economy. The revolutionary progress in the energy sector together with the ongoing booming of artificial intelligence (AI) and Information Communication Technologies (ICT) technologies will have profound impacts on our daily lives, from the way the energy is sourced, converted, transported, stored and consumed, to the way products are manufactured and services are provided. A society can only be sustainable if the whole energy chain, from top to tail, is sustainable. Our internationally-leading research group advances the enabling technologies driving the transformation of today's electricity grid to a smarter and more sustainable system, working harmoniously with other energy vectors in achieving 0% carbon emissions. The electricity grid today is featured as a large scale, complex and highly nonlinear system. It possesses a variety of geographically distributed generators of different scales fed with different energy sources. The intermittent nature of distributed renewable generators and the current trend towards electrification of transportation (electric vehicles, railways and aircrafts), home heating, and industrial sector demand entirely different thinking to the construction of future utility grids to provide our modern society with secure, reliable, efficient, sustainable and affordable electricity supply.
