Insight into Your Electricity Power Grid at your Fingertips
By Phil Kreveld The brave new world of 50% power plus penetration of renewables in traditional AC grids requires reimagining legacy engineering and above all, a millisecond, synchronised view of network events. Synchronous generation is making way for asynchronous power generators, which connect via inverter-based resources (IBR). The inbuilt capacity for reactive power of synchronous …
No Renewable Systems without Millisecond MonitoringRead More
by Phil Kreveld Australia is leading the way in the quest for a renewable electricity grid. Being at the forefront comes with its challenges — the most pressing of which is maintaining network stability. This in light of a reduction in baseload and a reduction in traditional generation that supplies a stable voltage and frequency. …

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.
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.”

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.
