Operational Experience from a 100% Solar Network

Presenter: Cathryn McDonald, Network Optimisation Engineer, SAPN. 

This talk will share recent experiences from operating the South Australian distribution system  under high rooftop PV conditions over the 2023 and 2024 Spring/Summer seasons. SA Power Networks is using innovative approaches such as the Flexible Exports program to securely and reliably operate the distribution system at high levels of rooftop solar export, enabling customers to collectively export significant volumes of energy through the distribution system to the transmission system.
