Distributed energy resources
Distributed energy resources are changing the way Australia produces and manages electricity. Rather than electricity being generated by big, centralised power stations, it is now starting to come from
Distributed energy resources
Power systems and networks need to adjust to the effects of these new technologies. It is important that these initial issues are recognised and addressed, in order to ensure that the benefits of DER can be
AEMO | NEM Distributed Energy Resources Program
AEMO''s DER Program is dedicated to understanding and integrating high levels of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) into Australia''s energy system and markets. Click here to view a short video about
Is Australia ready to orchestrate distributed energy resources?
In brief: Distributed energy resources (DER) already generate nearly 10% of Australia''s electricity. As that percentage grows, DER must be orchestrated to reduce costs and grid impacts. Action by
Driving the energy distribution revolution
While Australia has more rooftop solar per capita than any nation, policy and regulation lags mean the potential for distributed energy resources to expedite the energy transition is yet to be
Integrating distributed energy resources in the electricity grid
Project Symphony in Western Australia is collecting 500 customers with more than 900 distributed energy resources to test the ability of the market operator and network companies to operate the
Thinking deep about distributed energy
As Australians continue the uptake of small-scale energy assets such as rooftop solar and home batteries at unprecedented rates, the energy industry is yet to reach consensus on how
Distributed renewable energy systems
SPREE works with UNSW''s interdisciplinary Collaboration on Energy and Environmental Markets (CEEM) to study emerging markets, regulatory approaches and business models for DER
Distributed energy resources
We''re looking at whether further consumer protections are needed for distributed energy resource users. We want to understand the potential risks to users and areas for possible reform to
