Experts predict COVID-19 will spell the demise of coal burning power plants

Electrical power transmission systems operators investigate transitioning to a Distributed Grid without compromising system strength.

In May 2020, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) announced AU$490,629 in funding for transmission network operator Powerlink Queensland.

The purpose of the funding is to investigate technical, commercial, and regulatory solutions to address system strength challenges.

As renewable energy (RE) gains traction, power grid regulators and operators are scrambling to find viable solutions to prevent variable energy sources destabilizing the power grid.

Why is grid resilience becoming such a contentious topic in California?

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.
