Iain Macgill

Associate Professor Iain MacGill at the University of New South Wales leads interdisciplinary research at the intersection of renewable energy integration, electricity market design, and policy frameworks for low-carbon transitions. As a core member of the Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets, he develops computational models for coordinating distributed energy resources in restructured power systems.

• PhD in Electrical Engineering (UNSW)
• B.Eng. & M.Eng.Sci. (University of Melbourne)

His work examines technical-economic-commercial challenges of renewable integration, with recent focus on:

• 24/7 zero-emission energy tracking frameworks
• Temporal matching in renewable procurement
• Open-source tools for green hydrogen value chains
• Residential solar-battery interaction dynamics

Current research projects involve smart grid technologies, community microgrid economics, and climate-resilient energy systems. He collaborates with institutions like ARENA, CSIRO, and ARC on grants addressing grid stability, cost allocation, and policy innovation.
