Modern technology has given rise to a slew of forward looking enhancements for systems that transmit and distribute electricity. Distribution networks must be carefully controlled in order to maintain an acceptable power supply quality. In the current climate change and environment, wind energy will not only be able to contribute to securing Australian energy independence and climate goals in the future, it could also turn a serious energy supply problem into an opportunity in the forms of commercial benefits, technology research, exports and employment. The economic future of Australia can be planned on the basis of known and predictable cost of electricity derived from an indigenous energy source free of all the security, political, economic and environmental disadvantages associated with oil and gas.
