Project Title: Powering Community Batteries for Power System Transition
Project Description: Australia has seen a rapidly distributed energy resource (DER) uptake in the past decade with one in four households having a rooftop solar system. However, DERs also bring operational challenges to power system operations due to network constraints. This iPhD project aims to address these challenges by developing a community battery eco-system by investigating community batteries’ functionalities in providing both market and network services in order to make the operation of community batteries sustainable to help enable Australia’s renewable transition.
