The following can be attributed to Associate Professor Bahrani:
“As an expert in electrical engineering with a focus on renewable energy integration, I strongly support the expansion of Australia's offshore wind sector as announced by the government.
“Offshore wind projects like those in Gippsland are not just about producing energy; they represent a significant step in our energy transition, providing a more consistent power source compared to other forms of renewable energy.
“Utilising advanced technologies such as grid-forming inverters, these projects could also enhance grid stability and support the integration of renewable sources, ensuring a reliable power supply for Australia's future.
“This initiative is not only pivotal for meeting our energy needs but is also a major contributor to regional economic growth through job creation and technological advancement.”
