GPST Topic 9: DER and Stability- Stage 2 Final Report

UNSW Sydney in collaboration with the University of Wollongong and support from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and GHD is undertaking Stage 2 of the Australian Research Program for the Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Consortium. Under Topic 9 - DER and Stability, we are focusing on modelling and analysis of distributed energy resources (DER), energy storage systems (ESS) both as standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) as well as those integrated with PV systems (hybrid energy storage systems - HESS) and a broad variety of modern loads to ensure system operators can maintain power system security in the current challenging power system operation environment. The work that has been undertaken provides robust and accurate data for responses from a large number of devices which have been bench-tested using thorough experimental methods and directly informing the load model development activities of AEMO.<p></p>
