This
year, AEMO has partnered with the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) to
host ESIG Down Under, a free online event series featuring
nine webinars throughout the month of September.
ESIG
are an international, non-profit educational association that focuses on
providing resources and education to engineers, researchers, technologists and
policymakers on evolving electricity and integrated energy systems.
Their
core purpose is to educate the global energy sector and the public about the
ongoing transformation of energy systems and energy-related technologies, and
to support progress that is economic, reliable, sustainable, thoughtful and
collaborative.
ESIG
Down Under was
originally intended as an in-person event to be held in Melbourne back in April
but, due to the global pandemic, the decision was made to transform the event
into a dynamic series of online webinars. This also provided the opportunity to
trial a fully online conference of this calibre.
These
nine webinars will bring together key international leaders across the industry
(from Asia, USA and Europe) to share insights into the global energy sector’s
transformation, with a special focus on the dissolution of traditional
interfaces in Australia.
AEMO,
as a world leading power system operator, is
successfully managing the transition of the National Electricity Market (NEM)
to a more decentralised, sustainable low carbon future and this conference will
provide international stakeholders and attendees with a deeper understanding of
this process.
Three
key streams have been selected that illustrate the state of flux that power
systems are undergoing globally, and the breaking down of traditional
boundaries that have existed in the power system.
These
are:
·
Physics-Market
Interface
·
Customer-Grid
Interface
·
Transmission-Distribution
Interface
For each key stream, there will be one Plenary session on the topic and two deep dives.
All
interested parties are welcome to attend any of the free webinars, please select the webinar/s of
