Workshop Proposal for Financial Assistance - Isolated Power Systems (IPS) Connect 2024, King Island, Australia.
Abstract
Workshop title: Isolated Power Systems (IPS) Connect 2024King Island, Tasmania, AustraliaThe International Isolated Power Systems #Connect Workshop is the premier remote area power systems workshop in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, for the exchange of research, new technology and training. This workshop continues successful annual events that started in 2015 on King Island followed by Flinders Island, Rottnest Island, Maui Island, Tasmania, Alaska, and New Caledonia. The workshop provides a forum for academics, industry researchers and experts in power engineering to discuss and share ideas, present results, reflect on past experiences and discuss future projects.Prior events have highlighted the opportunity for knowledge sharing across utilities, specifically knowledge delivery to the Pacific region, and as such the 2024 event will have a specific professional development component targeting thisagenda.Unique aspects to the event include the location (hosted with a remote area power system to afford tour of innovative facilities and technologies), and the audience (restricted to owners and operators of remote area systems).Workshop Goals1) Provide a power utility specific forum to identify and discuss both current and emerging technology issues relevant to the security of resilient isolated power systems with high renewable energy penetration. This forum is directly relevant to a range of on-island and fleet operations, considering integration of alternative energy, within the Department of Navy (DoN).2) Provide a forum, specifically targeting Pacific utility involvement, leading to cooperative research collaboration, inclusive of any support available via the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE). 3) Provide a dual professional development/conference format to further incentivize stakeholder involvement.4)Maintaining long-term inter-regional relationships between utilities and research organizations, as demonstrated during prior IPS events.
