Biography
Dr Coventry is a researcher and engineer experienced in development and commercialisation of concentrating solar and energy storage technologies. He is an Associate Professor at ANU, and holds an ANU Translational Fellowship. Prior, he was the Principal Engineer at Wizard Power, and led the engineering team and development of the Big Dish CSP technology. Dr Coventry holds a BE/BSc from the University of Melbourne (1997), and a PhD from the Australian National University (2004).
Qualifications
PhD (ANU); BEng/BSc (University of Melbourne)
Research Interests
My expertise is in the field of concentrating solar thermal (CST) and thermal energy storage (TES). Present research aims are to advance knowledge and develop technologies with high impact on the competitiveness of CST and TES, to drive uptake and rapid decarbonisation in both power and heavy industrial sectors. Current research projects span the following topics:
- Development of low-cost heliostat technologies
- Sodium receiver technologies
- Optical absorber coatings for CST
- High temperature thermal energy storage
- Hydrogen supply for industry
