This installment of the Power Sector Decarbonization Action Plan Series focuses on Australia’s Action Plan for power sector decarbonization, including their ambitions on transitioning to a renewable dominated grid, strengths in modernizing Australia’s energy systems, and the systemic changes and technical challenges associated with this transition. CSIRO presents on initiatives and projects that use a new generation of energy data and analytics to enhance energy forecasting and systems planning and improved network visibility with increasing integration of distributed energy resources and electric vehicles as Australia transitions towards net zero. Energy Renaissance explores the role that large-scale batteries play in providing backup power, reducing local communities and industry reliance on diesel generators and improving resilience to power outages. Speakers include:
John McKibbin – Lead of Energy Networks Research, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
Sandra Choy – Assistant Director, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
Brian Craighead – CEO, Energy Renaissance Pty Ltd
