Abstract here
== Introduction ==
South Australia is a unique “living laboratory” where remarkable levels of renewable energy penetration exists (100%  instant renewable source, even with curtailment) while conventional coal power stations are decommissioned. However, we have also experienced significant negative impacts during this energy transition, which include state-wide blackout, negative power flow both in distribution and transmission lines,  poor power quality, and controlled switching off the smart inverters in a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) structures.In 2020, Yadlamalka Energy Pty Ltd has obtained a significant funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to solve some of the issues in the power grid using battery storage system. The project will have a 2 MW / 8 MWh utility-scale vanadium flow battery near Hawker in South  Australia. The vanadium battery is supplied by Invinity Energy Systems and a 6 MW solar PV array on land held by the Yadlamalka Land Trustat Neuroodla, adjacent to Yadlamalka Station.
The battery system will connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM) to demonstrate the potential for grid-connected vanadium flow batteries to provide energy and frequency control ancillary services (FCAS). The construction has already started and the system will be commissioned by the end of 2021. In this project, the project team will analyse the system first (including PV, vanadium battery,  converters, control, environment, grid and load) and then develop methodologies for performance analysis after the system is operational and electrical and environmental data becomes available.
