Power grids with high penetration of weather-dependent renewable energy sources (WD-RESs) tend to have reduced blackout intensities and weather vulnerability. WD-RESs such as wind and solar are not responsible for the occurrence of blackouts in bad weather conditions. ...
The Australian government last week introduced legislation to enable an offshore electricity industry, including transmission cables and offshore renewable energy generation such as offshore wind.
For instance, in February 2022, Australian mining giant Fortescue Metals Group unveiled plans to build a massive 5.4 GW solar PV, wind, and battery energy storage project, the UarooRenewable Energy Hub, in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The project is expected to have a 3.33 GW solar fa...
The contribution of solar energy to electricity production has intensified in recent years. In this study, we aim to measure the impact of higher solar penetration on electricity prices across regional and national electricity markets in Australia. Using daily data, we also estimate volatility ...
