Robust Renewables Hosting Capacity Enhancement for Distribution Networks. This project aims to quantify technical margins and devise novel robust renewables hosting capacity enhancement methods for active distribution networks. High renewables penetration has impaired power quality and network operational reliability, thus reducing renewables utilisation rate and impeding further installation.

This project aims to quantify technical margins and devise novel robust renewables hosting capacity enhancement methods for active distribution networks. High renewables penetration has impaired power quality and network operational reliability, thus reducing renewables utilisation rate and impeding further installation. The intended outcomes are innovative data-driven robustness design methods against complex and uncertain operating conditions, which are able to secure increasing renewables penetration and installation. With emerging community battery and hydrogen electrolyser, a suite of operation and planning methods will be developed, allowing utility operators and government agencies to expedite zero-emission energy transition.Read moreRead less
Stability Analysis of Power System with Massive Power Electronic Devices. The decarbonization of Australia's power systems is to integrate massive renewable energy sources which are interfaced with many power electronic devices (PEDs). The fast and complex dynamics of PEDs have significantly changed the nature of the power system, which limits the applicability of existing tools and methods to assess its stability. The goal of this project is to gain a comprehensive insight into the stability of ....Stability Analysis of Power System with Massive Power Electronic Devices. The decarbonization of Australia's power systems is to integrate massive renewable energy sources which are interfaced with many power electronic devices (PEDs). The fast and complex dynamics of PEDs have significantly changed the nature of the power system, which limits the applicability of existing tools and methods to assess its stability. The goal of this project is to gain a comprehensive insight into the stability of a futuristic power system with high penetration of PEDs. The intended outcomes will be a model and data jointly driven methodology for high-efficient and real-time stability assessment. The methodology developed in this project will support Australia's transition to a stable, secure, and low-carbon power grid.Read moreRead less
