Through the week we've seen new highs for wind production (NEM-wide) and also some low levels of production, as well - mirroring the political debate. The challenge has serious implications, however, and the AEMO...
The University of Queensland has called for applicants for the next round of the E.S.Cornwall Memorial scholarship (closes Friday 31st July). A great opportunity for a young engineer to gain international experience at this...
Following today's announcement of the closure of Alinta's Northern Power Station in South Australia
Some quick notes Tuesday evening about liquid-fuelled peaking generators getting a run in a South Australian region that's missing Northern station (amongst other factors)
A quick look at how the Nyngan solar plant stepped up its output over the weekend, reaching full load.
Collecting together posts about winter 2015
A quick look at how the early winter chills are driving demand in Tasmania to levels not seen for 4 years
Windy conditions persist - and bring with them their own challenges for the AEMO in managing the security of the system (PS wind contributes to, but there are other factors discussed in the post)
Looks like wind output, aggregated across the NEM, hit a new record in output overnight.
Following an invitation to speak at a QUT Energy Forum last week, here are some thoughts about some business niches for aggregators.
Royalla solar farm (opened 6 months ago) now has metered generation data published by AEMO - here's the first view.
Wrapping up the competitions for summer 2014-15, we announce the winner for peak Queensland demand.
Completing our walk-around-the-NEM, today we look at peak demand in Queensland over summer 2014-15
Continuing with our series of competitions today, we assembled the entries to see who was closest to the mark in predicting peak wind output over summer 2014-15, and so who wins this portable barbeque:...
Continuing the theme of investigating peak metrics over summer 2014-15, today we look at peak wind output (aggregate across the NEM).
Who wins a consolation prize today, being closest to the flag in forecasting peak Tassie demand?
Today we have a look at what mark Tasmania reached with peak demand over "extended summer" 2014-15
So the winner for "best NSW peak demand forecaster" for summer 2014-15 is...
Continuing the theme started last week, today we look at what the peak NEM-wide demand was for "extended summer" 2014-15.
So the entrant who was VERY close to the mark in forecasting the peak demand in South Australia for this summer period is...
