Electricity and electrification are seen as the significant enablers for decarbonisation of our nation. The Future Architecture of the Network (FAN) | Te Whatunga Hiko programme aspires to meet the challenges the electrical power system will face as we journey towards sustainable decarbonisation.

Our vision is to provide an infrastructure paradigm through a hybrid AC/DC transmission and distribution system that meets the needs of tomorrow’s efficient, low-carbon, reliable and resilient electrical power system.

Funded as part of the New Zealand Government’s Strategic Science Investment Fund (SSIF) on Advanced Energy Technology Platform (AETP), the research team is investigating what the future electrical power system might look like.

Join us to hear about the team’s work now we are past the half-way point of this 7-year programme.

Attendance is in person at University of Auckland.
