Anna Bruce

Dr Anna Bruce is an Associate Professor at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering and Joint Director (Engineering) at the Collaboration on Energy and Environmental Markets (CEEM) at UNSW Sydney. She leads CEEM’s research theme in Distributed Energy Systems, focusing on distributed generation and demand-side participation. Her work spans modeling renewable energy integration, energy access in developing countries, and energy policy.

• Rooftop solar potential analysis
• Electricity market restructuring
• Demand-side flexibility
• Energy resilience in extreme weather

Her recent research highlights include 2025 publications on real-time energy procurement and solar water heating systems as storage. She actively contributes to policy submissions and leads the APVI’s Solar Mapping project, emphasizing consumer-driven energy transitions and grid compatibility.

Dr Bruce collaborates internationally through the IEA’s PV Power Systems program and works on projects addressing energy poverty in Pacific Island Countries. Her methodological innovations include open-source tools like Nempy for market analysis and data-driven approaches to voltage conditions in low-voltage networks.
