Many new grid-connected technologies are becoming available to consumers, such as battery energy storage systems, solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and electric vehicles (EVs). In Queensland, the level of penetration of household PV has already noticeably affected the load profile of the transmission network. As transmission utilities make investment decisions based on long-term forecasts, it is...
To avoid conversion loss and exploit DC producing renewable resources, interest to develop DC power supply network for DC end-use applications is increasing. This is particularly applicable for data centres and computing/ networking systems. Motivated from DC system success stories at different places around the globe, Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) intends to investigate the possibility of a...
In a bid to meet the UK renewable energy targets, and to reduce GHG emissions in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol, the UK government is encouraging small scale developers through different incentive schemes. So far, the UK renewable energy generation has seen a steady growth but there are concerns about the impacts of these on the power system network. Sequel to this, the UK research councils have...
Currently the Queensland Electricity Regulation requires voltages to be maintained within a variance of +/− 6% from the standard voltage of 240V. Consequently, distributors are required to ensure the quality of supply is maintained within these prescribed limits throughout its network. Increasing levels of Solar PV penetration are currently causing many networks to experience over-voltage issues....
