Yesterday the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) published a Directions Paper setting out its economic considerations seeking stakeholder feedback for a suitable mechanism to ensure efficient procurement of inertia in operational timeframes in the National Electricity Market (NEM). The NEM is expecting to experience a significant decline in system inertia as traditional synchronous generation is progressively replaced by renewable energy sources. Inertia, which has historically been provided as a byproduct of synchronous generation, plays a crucial role in maintaining frequency stability by resisting rapid changes in system frequency following disturbances. Adrian Kemp, Elaine Luc and Liam Hickey were pleased to assist the AEMC with an evaluation of the economic case for different market designs for the provision of inertia in the future, with a particular focus on whether a spot market mechanism could deliver better outcomes than the current contract-based approach. We evaluated four potential sources of benefit from providing incremental inertia services above the level available through energy dispatch in operational timeframes. These benefits arise from optimising inertia provision to reduce system costs, with each benefit category reflecting different operational circumstances where incremental inertia could deliver economic value.

We welcome the House of Lord’s Science and Technology Committee's report into long-duration energy storage and its call to ‘Get on with it’. Energy storage has multiple benefits including providing back-up when the ‘sun doesn’t shine and wind doesn’t blow’ and making it possible to integrate higher volumes of low-cost renewable electricity onto the grid to power our homes and businesses. Today’s 3GW stock of this storage comes from four pumped hydro plants built 40 years ago before energy sector privatisation. Our members will invest and build the new pumped hydro, hydrogen storage and other innovative technologies that can do this job – if there is a sufficient policy framework. To this end, we welcome the Government’s recent proposals to support private sector investment into medium-duration storage such as pumped hydro as well as the hydrogen storage that will be required for interseasonal system balancing. This report highlights that the technologies can take seven to ten years to build, so to ensure these are online by the 2030s when we need them, Energy UK supports the Committee’s call to ‘Get on with it’.

The 6 phases of variable renewable energy integration according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). They describe typical challenges and examples of how various countries have addressed them. Some regions are already in phase 5 according to the IEA but most in 1-3. The IEA will continue to update this classification over time.

In the words of Treasurer Jim Chalmers, Australia can “power the world” as a renewable energy superpower. However, we are facing a critical skills shortage. One of the first few key steps in installing renewable energy is to ensure that key talent possess the requisite skills and knowledge. This may involve completing training classes and obtaining relevant certifications. Read on to discover the latest developments in the renewable energy sector, as well as the types of government funding being made available to support ongoing growth. #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #ElevateWithResolute #Electrical #Solar https://lnkd.in/gKS49FsT

🌍 The Future of Energy Flexibility: VPP Market Study 🌿 As the European energy system rapidly transitions from fossil fuels to renewable sources, addressing flexibility challenges is more important than ever. With the increasing use of distributed and intermittent wind and solar energy, the ability to manage fluctuations in power production is critical. One of the most innovative solutions to this challenge? Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). By aggregating flexibilities from production, demand, and power storage, VPPs are helping to maintain grid stability and enable seamless energy trading across the system. We're proud to be a media partner for the release of the 'VPP Market Study' with Commodity Technology Advisory LLC (Gary M. Vasey Ph.D., Irina Reitgruber), which explores how VPPs are revolutionizing the way energy systems function in this new era of renewables. 🔗Check out the report to learn more about how VPPs can drive the future of energy here: https://lnkd.in/dYnWPaCc #EnergyTransition #VPP #VirtualPowerPlants #RenewableEnergy #GridFlexibility #EnergyInnovation #VPPMarketStudy #CleanEnergy

Is the price right or wrong? Our recent article about the viability of renewable energy investments leaned heavily on Levelized Cost of Energy or LCOE and, coincidentally, the Energy Institute (EI) updated its LCOE estimates for a range of technologies. For comparison and for local flavor, we found the UPME LCOE’s on the website (with some questions pending) and the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) estimates. Are renewables cheaper? The lead graph shows the EI’s latest numbers. The organization provides some geographic detail, breaking out the US and Europe for some technologies, so here we report simple averages. The green bars are renewable energy technologies and the orange bars are fossil-fuel based. The headlines say that renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil-fuel-based but the chart shows that reality has more subtleties. Closed cycle gas thermal (Gas CCGT) is pretty cheap compared to, say, distributed solar... #renewableenergy #renewablenergy #renewablepower #energyindustry #epowercolombia #energy
