Overview

SA obtains approximately 45% of its electrical energy from renewable sources – large scale wind and small scale solar PV. To reliably integrate these intermittent sources into the grid will increasingly require energy storage in a variety of forms such as pumped-hydro and batteries together with virtual energy storage in the form of demand side management. The storage requirement will progressively increase as controllable fossil fuel generation sources are withdrawn from the system. The objective of this project is to develop tools to assess the energy storage requirements to ensure reliable supply with high levels of intermittent generation. This project commenced in 2017 and the two honours students involved did a very fine job in achieving several early objectives.
