Background
Renewable generators operating within Australia’s power grid must be responsive to the requirements of transmission and distribution network owners under their connection agreements and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), who manage the electricity markets and system security across Australia.
Our Role
Our programs are targeted to renewable plant/site managers who are monitoring their site electrically, and senior decision makers managing renewable portfolio assets. These programs can be customised for all renewable stakeholders depending on the required focus and degree of technical complexity.
Our training programs are structured to equip renewable stakeholders with necessary technical and operational knowledge to perform your obligations as a generator. It will provide insight into the dynamics of voltage control, security and reliability that impact on decision making. Specific topics include:
- Regulations, responsibilities and obligations that renewable generators have to AEMO and the Energy regulator
- Gaining an understanding of the effects your system has on the local and wider networks i.e. voltage and var control, system security, meeting your outputs per your bid profile
- Manage critical events such as simultaneous single/multiple network faults, and storm events of various magnitudes. (This includes liaison procedures with multiple operating authorities. It also encompasses monitoring of safe access to the network and invoking crisis management procedures and mutual response plans)
- Operate, monitor and control HV apparatus on the network via SCADA control
- Co-ordinate and direct switching the HV and LV system on the electrical network (including coordinating switching between operating authorities)
