challenges of Network Control and Protection Systems in modern Power Systems i.e. with more integration of renewables / DERs
The Australian energy industry is transforming rapidly. As a Transmission Network Service Provider, Powerlink plays a key role in responding to emerging network needs and challenges to benefit our customers and stakeholders. We transport high voltage electricity generated at major power stations, through our transmission grid to distribution networks to supply customers. We also transport electricity to high usage industrial customers such as rail companies, mines and mineral processing facilities, and to New South Wales via the Queensland/NSW Interconnector transmission line. Playing our part in providing electricity to more than four million Queenslanders, our customers expect high network reliability and availability at the lowest long run cost. This seminar presents key challenges of network control and protection systems in modern power systems, and potential innovative solutions for consideration to achieve benefits for electricity customers.
