Review of the regulatory frameworks for stand-alone power systems: final report
Australian electricity consumers who choose to go 'off-grid' will find it easier, safer and more reliable, under reforms proposed in this final report by the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC).
Report
Maintaining power system security with high penetrations of wind and solar generation
The purpose of this insights paper is to set the scene for AEMO’s ongoing investigations into renewable integration in Australia and identify any additional priority focus areas. This insights paper is generally based on information available to AEMO as at 1 October 2019 unless otherwise indicated.
Discussion paper
Coordination of generation and transmission infrastructure proposed access model: discussion paper
The electricity sector transition that is currently under way is changing the dynamics of the power system. Traditional thermal plants are closing, and more renewable and asynchronous generators are coming to the power system. This paper sets out a proposed model for generators to locate in more cost-effective places, and access the transmission network more...

Designing for resilient energy systems: choices in future engineering
Commissioned by Engineers Australia, in partnership with ASPI, this report presents the thoughts of four young engineers on innovative energy design projects they are currently working on, as well as their views on the challenges they foresee for the design of future energy systems. These four sections are bookended by the views of two established...
