Australia’s hydrogen strategy has officially landed

To much fanfare and a little bit of controversy, Australia’s national hydrogen strategy was released to an eagerly awaiting Australian industry in late 2019. Receiving highly unusual unanimous support from Australian energy ministers sitting around the COAG table, the strategy was the culmination of 12 months of work spearheaded by head hydrogen advocate (otherwise known as Australia’s Chief Scientist) Dr Alan Finkel.

Writing the book on integrating utility-scale batteries into the grid

In remote communities, ensuring reliability can be one of the greatest challenges facing a network operator.

Preparing for five minute settlement: the future of Australia’s utility markets

When Australia first formed its national electricity market over 20 years ago, it adopted a five-minute dispatch period. Due to technological limitations at the time, it also adopted a 30-minute settlement period. Over the years, this discord between supply and demand resulted in inherent market inefficiencies. However, with the advancement of new technologies and ongoing efforts to modernise electricity markets in preparation for the explosion of renewable energy, Australia has mandated a move to a five minute settlement (5MS) period by 2021.
