A case study of Australia's emissions reduction policies - An electricity planner's perspective

TL;DR: This paper makes three key observations from the case analysis: that there has been substantial expense and effort effectively wasted through duplicate effects of different policy mechanisms by both federal and state governments, and as various mechanisms enable variable renewable energy generation to increase, the market becomes distorted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Managing flexibility whilst decarbonising electricity: the Australian NEM is changing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate how Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on fossil-fuel plants can play an important role to play in a portfolio of generation technologies, and demonstrate that the characteristics of the NEM plays a significant role in determining the value of an additional asset placed on the system.
Journal ArticleDOI

MEGS: Modelling energy and grid services to explore decarbonisation of power systems at lowest total system cost

TL;DR: MEGS as discussed by the authors is an electricity system scenario tool designed to explore options to approach the optimal mix for a particular decarbonisation target, which is critical for electricity consumers and taxpayers, who together need to cover the costs of the entire electricity system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation and mitigation of renewable droughts in the Australian National Electricity Market

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the frequency and nature of low renewable periods and examined strategies for their mitigation so that unserved energy standards are not breached, and found that the winter period, May to August, is the time where the NEM is at greatest risk of loss of load.
