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...
