Ingenuity is the University of Adelaide Faculty of Sciences, Engineering, and Technology’s flagship event, where students get the opportunity to present their final-year projects. As an event partner, GPA was pleased to once again present the award for best Electrical Engineering project. We were particularly excited to see our very own undergraduate engineers presenting their projects, which they have been completing alongside their part-time work at GPA. ⚡⚡ Undergrad Electrical Engineers Euan Fetherstonhaugh and Lucas Billich presented their group project: “Future-proofing the SA power grid” “We have worked alongside SA Power Networks to investigate the impacts of household electrification; this is the conversion of non-electric appliances to their electric counterparts. We identified three main appliance types that would significantly impact energy consumption, those being cooking, hot water systems and space heating and cooling. The current software monitors the performance of transformers which are key in the operation of the distribution network. The aim of our project was to expand upon this software to account for the change in demand due to the electrification process from 2025 to 2050 at an appliance level, this will ensure electricity can be reliably and affordably supplied to homes.” 🏏🏏Elsewhere, Undergrad Mechanical Engineers Jordyn Fleetwood and Sophie McGrath ’s study into the safety performance of different cricket batting glove types hopes to improve injury prevention! “Our project was to assess the safety performance of professional cricket batting gloves to offer insights on injury prevention for batter's fingers. Batting gloves come in various materials and styles, the main difference being between gloves with jointed and non-jointed knuckle sections. We completed testing by applying the equivalent energy of a cricket ball travelling at 80 km/h to the glove’s knuckle using a piston with a cricket ball attachment head. Underneath the glove's index finger, sensors were arranged on a metal collar to detect the force that would be experienced by a player's finger on impact. Our results showed that the two split style gloves (v-split and straight split) performed the best, detecting a consistently lower force compared to the non-jointed gloves (commonly called sausage finger gloves).” Congratulations to all students who presented their projects. We look forward to attending again next year! #ingenuity

APGA 2024 – The convention that was… We’ll be back in Brisbane in 2025 and are coming to reclaim our fancy-dress crown – watch out Firstgas ! Hear the latest from Carina Nixon , Thomas Jackson , James Roberts , and Josh Wickham about what team GPA got up to at the convention. Our thanks go to the Australian Pipelines and Gas Association (APGA) for once again running an incredible event. #APGA24

We can’t wait to attend the 2024 Australian Pipelines and Gas Association (APGA) Convention & Exhibition from October 12-15! We have several staff who will be presenting papers at the Convention: Carina Nixon will be presenting "Compatibility of Type B Appliances for Use on Hydrogen Blends (HyP MV Case Study)" in collaboration with Robert Davis . Using a case study of the Hydrogen Park Murray Valley project, the paper explores the practical application of hydrogen blended gas for domestic commercial and industrial “Type B” appliances. From pizza ovens to small boilers, this paper presentation chronicles the collaborative efforts of Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) , GPA Engineering, and the Future Fuels CRC to understand the challenges of these appliances being used with hydrogen blends. Sharing his experience as a new arrival to the gas industry, James Roberts will present “An Invitation to the Renewable Generation”. This presentation will explore the hard-won experiences of the oil & gas industry and their value and importance to the next generation of engineers and technicians. By highlighting the similarities in skills this presentation will explore how we can engage young professionals in renewable energy projects, while drawing on the hard-won expertise in the oil and gas sector. A model for balancing the integration of innovative technologies with established practices to foster a sustainable and forward-thinking energy landscape. Thomas Jackson will present Towards Best Practices: Assessing and Managing Process Safety Risks for Future Fuels. The Australian pipeline and gas industry is no stranger to managing process safety risks. This presentation will reflect on a number of case studies from Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRAs) from past, current, and future hydrogen projects around Australia, and will discuss: ● The distinction between consequence and risk ● Special considerations for consequence modelling and likelihood assessment for future fuel facilities in the absence of empirically validated models ● How QRA is used to inform equipment layout for various future fuels, including minimum separation distances and exclusion zones to occupied buildings/public interfaces ● How QRA can influence overall system design, including assessment of isolatable inventories GPA is proud to continue our host sponsor support of the APGA convention in 2024 and share our knowledge with the industry. The GPA cafe will continue to keep all attendees alert, come past, enjoy a good barista made coffee and meet our talented staff in the exhibition hall during session breaks. Be there on October 14-15 to hear from our amazing GPA presenters! #APGA2024

GPA was pleased to attend ICHEME’s Chemeca & Hazards Australasia Conference. GPA staff led by Principal Risk Consultant Lisa Hein attended the events, this year held on the beautiful Gold Coast of Queensland. The conference and speakers provided some great insights into the hazard and design challenges of emerging energy projects such as hydrogen, ammonia, MCH, battery energy storage and renewable energy electrification. Reflections on some past process safety disasters such as Flixborough, Bhopal, and Longford highlighted the lessons learned by the chemical, oil, and gas industries, the continuing importance of process safety, and the obligation of all engineers to understand these incidents and apply the learnings in our work. At the Poster Networking Session, sponsored by GPA, Principal Process Engineer Shirley Erasmus shared some of the bespoke process safety expertise that exists at GPA, and the opportunities to join and learn from a team of some of Australia’s best process safety and hazardous area experts! We can’t wait for Chemeca 2025 in in our HQ city of Adelaide!

In partnership with Zero Carbon Hydrogen Australia , GPA Engineering hosted our 3rd annual "H2 Debate in the pub" in Brisbane on August 26. Serving as an important sideline event to the 3rd Hydrogen Connect Summit, the debate was a chance to see some leading industry experts go head-to-head on some hot topics (and cause a bit of ruckus on the way). Adjudicated by Nigel Hough , the 2 teams fought it out to determine if Hydrogen will make us happy. Many thanks to the 6 debaters: 🔥 Team A: Catherine Van Der Merwe , Matt Baumgurtel and Rimu Nelson 🔥 Team B: Cristina Muñoz , Gareth Forde and Eva Druk While the debate didn't really confirm whether Hydrogen will definitely make us happy, we can 100% confirm that a debate in the pub about that, well that will definitely make everyone happy!
