Hobart Isolated Power System Connect Workshop
Abstract
Tasmania is home to Australia~s cleanest energy system, capable of running entirely on renewable generation. It is also home to two of the worlds most advanced 100% renewable islands, King Island and Flinders Island. This world-leading renewable energy innovation will for the first time host the Isolate Power System Connect workshop in 2019. The event seeks to leverage this expertise to knowledge share, empower and promote other utilities to adopt renewable technologies. In addition to providing in depth discussion as to the operation and performance of the above listed projects, the forum will also showcase Tasmanian~s world renown in pump storage hydro, mini-hydro and micro-hydro technologies. The Tasmanian experience can demonstrate how to effectively integrate these assets into a wind and/or solar photovoltaic portfolio. A novel aspect of these projects is the focus on system wide control and automation, as managed by the master controller. A number of projects have been supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), with development undertaken by Hydro Tasmania. In November, the University of Tasmania and Hydro Tasmania will host the 2019 IPS connect forum, with delegates given in-depth facility tours, and operational insight. The conference will include a 2 day professional development stream to accelerate capacity building across the pacific region. The theme of the conference is lessons learnt from high RE penetration off-grid systems.
