Hamilton Consortium - Quantum Solutions for Energy Networks

The Hamilton Consortium will identify opportunities for the use of quantum computers in workloads associated with the performance, sustainability, and security of energy networks with a primary emphasis on power systems. Diraq has multiple quantum computing prototypes and UNSW’s Real-time Simulations Lab (RTS@UNSW) has multiple real-time simulation tools. We will integrate these systems through UNSW’s network (Diraq’s quantum computing systems are located in UNSW campus). AEMO will advise which algorithms are beneficial to the market. Prof Berry and Dr Sanders will determine the algorithms that will address these issues and the resources needed for a quantum advantage to be established.
