Projects:2019s2-25501 Allocation of Storage Resources

Abstract here

Introduction

Intermittent renewable sources such as wind and solar are highly competitive with fossil fueled generations in South Australia(SA). Currently, Renewable Energy makes up about over 50% of total generations in SA. However, this introduces many issues on balancing sources within the grid due to meet power demand. These balancing sources can be in the form of responsive gas turbines, demand respond and grid storage which consists of hydro pump storage and battery storage. It is important that as the intermittent renewable sources increasing, balanced sources are allocated in a coordinated and economically efficient way. This investigation will be based on the simplified model of the SA grid and recordings or the output from intermittent sources in SA.
