Wolfs packs, returns to power projects at CQUni 

Published on 04 December, 2012 

One of CQUniversity's pioneering researchers, Professor Peter Wolfs has returned to Rockhampton Campus after almost four years as Western Power Chair in Power Engineering at Curtin University.

The 20-year veteran of CQUniversity is directing a research program in the power engineering space. This is of vital importance as Australia seeks innovation for competitiveness, environmental benefits, and a balance between reliability and cost to customers across a range of energy sectors.
