Insight into Your Electricity Power Grid at your Fingertips
the United States has not launched such a mission to counter the gravest threat of our time: climate change. Although a few clean-energy technologies, such as wind and solar power, have reached cost competitiveness with fossil fuels, many more urgently need advances if the world is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions—a herculean feat known as “deep decarbonization.”
To confront the climate crisis, the US should launch a National Energy Innovation MissionRead More
Rooftop solar is already South Australia’s largest electricity generator with about 1300 megawatts of capacity involving one in every three homes. A full picture of the grid, as it stands, is the precursor to a successful transition to a resilient, distributed grid architecture. Policy makers need to give engineers the data they need if they are to expect a successful transition.

Electric Grid Stability Assailed by Growing ChallengesRead More
“There was grid stability in the past, we still have it mainly now, and of course we’ll have it in the future”. That statement is heard often enough. “As the generator and load buses become more ‘dynamic’, we’ll adapt the grids organically—we’ll do whatever needs to be done to keep the system stable as there …

Synchronised, GPS-based monitoring and the use of Big Data analysis is the way towards flexible AC transmission as renewable penetration continues on its seemingly unstoppable growth.
Given the divisions in ownerships of distribution, transmission and generation assets and the separate jurisdictions of the Energy Security Board, the Australian Energy Regulator, the Australian Energy Market Commission and the Australian Energy Market Operator there is urgent need for mandated, overall monitoring and control of the NEM.

The future of a power grid system with baseload thermal, hydro and pumped hydro, gas-fired, wind and solar farm generation, AND the fast-growing private sector of virtually exclusive solar photovoltaic (PV) generation is a vexing problem for politicians, legislators and grid operators alike.
The argument that synchronized, granular, multi-nodal information has to be the basis for any number of control paradigms is easy to support—even if, depending on initial expenditure considerations, limitations are imposed on control protocols and there is a superfluity of information.

It is well accepted that electric transformer maintenance is a key component of grid resilience. Considering the number of transformers installed across a grid, the maintenance cost savings and optimizations can be considerable. Replacement costs for LPT’s (large power transformers) can range from $1 million to $7.5 million. It is for this reason, that power grid operators, seriously consider digital twin preventative maintenance strategies.
