Directions Paper adjusts approach to loop IRSR
Under the new direction proposed, netting off would be applied to allocate IRSR. The proposal is open for feedback until 10 July 2025.
Here we will collate articles (as we publish them, and remember to collate them in here) that relate to various aspects of the role of transmission in the energy transition .
Areas of interest include:
1) Design and construction
2) Operations
3) Outage planning and operations
4) Failure modes and rates
5) How to model transmission.
