In 2001, a is introduced to encourage large-scale renewable energy development. In 2007, several reports have discussed the possibility of Australia setting a renewable energy target of 25% by 2020. Combined with some basic energy efficiency measures, such a target could deliver 15,000 MW new renewable power capacity, $33 billion in new investment, 16,600 n.

is a major contributor to electricity supply in . As of September 2024, Australia's over 3.92 million solar PV installations had a combined capacity of 37.8 GW (PV) solar power. In 2019, 59 solar PV projects with a combined capacity of 2,881 MW were either under construction, constructed or due to start construction having reached financia.

Kang has over thirty years of research experience working on a wide range of control engineering applications in energy, transport and manufacturing systems. He currently holds the Chair of Smart Energy Systems in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and is the Director of Institute of Communication. . A control engineer by training, Kang’s work spans many research topics (nonlinear system modelling and identification, control theory, human machine systems, AI and machine learning), but his greatest.
