      • Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Demonstrations
  • In June 2018, AEMO and Energy Networks Australia opened a consultation on the “Open Energy Networks” project to identify how best to transition to a two-way grid that allows better integration of DER to deliver better outcomes for all customers.

    The paper was launched with a webinar that had over 350 registered participants.  We held four major workshops during the consultation period, with over 500 attendees from 100 different organisations, representing the entire spectrum of the energy sector.

    62 submissions were received at the completion of the consultation.

    Next Steps

    AEMO and Energy Networks Australia have subsequently run a series of Functional Specification Workshops in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.  These workshops have developed detailed Actor -Agent model.  We are using a similar approach to that undertaken recently in the UK and more information about this can be obtained in the following report http://www.energynetworks.org/assets/files/Modelling-DSO-Transition-Using-SGAM_Issue2.1_PublicDomain.pdf
