The iEnergy Australia Pty Ltd's iPool software package provides energy companies and power consumers a user-friendly tool for managing market risk, forecasting prices, profiling and pricing demand in the competitive power industry. For more details visi
For example, the “big three”, including Origin Energy, AGL Energy and EnergyAustralia, are major electricity companies in both SA and VIC. 12 See Appendix A2 for power generation by fuel sources in Australian regions. 13 For instance, AGL Energy has substantial generation assets and retail op...
“Sharon was able to show me areas where I could make savings and managed changing retailers for me. She has a thorough knowledge of the way that energy companies operate and is able to identify the tricks that some companies try to use on business owners who don’t know any better. ...
By looking at the inference about the probability of being in the high volatility state (see Table5), we observe some regional heterogeneity. While for NSW, the introduction of the CPM corresponded to a decrease in the occurrences of high price volatility periods, in QLD and VIC the likelihood...
In this section, our tax and subsidy design framework is applied to the Australia’s NEM. NEM consists of five loosely interconnected states: South Australia (SA), Queensland (QLD), Tasmania (TAS), Victoria (VIC), and New South Wales (NSW). The investment is calculated every five years fr...
A public document released by Ausgrid, one of Australia’s largest energy companies, suggests that Pluto AAC 19/3 conductors are often used in their new medium and high-voltage transmission lines38. The derivation of electrical parameters for transmission lines assumed that all conductors within the...
Location and comparability. Germany and California rank in the top 70th and 90th percentiles with respect to their potential wind and solar energy (see Appendix I). However, actual wind and solar energy productivity is higher in California (i.e., higher capacity factors), which is the primary...
WA has the best solar resources in Australia, but the locations in the NW of the state are isolated form the SWIS grid. Worley Parsons in collaboration with major mining companies located in the Pilbara region of WA are investigating the feasibility of building multiple 250MW CST sites. If on...
There was little wind capacity built in NSW, with the highest concentration of wind capacity and generation occurring in subregion 1 (35.3 GW) in QLD. The optimisation inherently searches for subregions that have uncorrelated generation profiles. For example, the large installation of wind capacity ...
We consider spot electricity prices from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2016 for the four major states in the NEM, namely, NSW, QLD, SA and VIC. We further divide the sample period into three sub-periods: the period before the CPM became effective (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2012), the...
