Australian Insights on Managing a Low Voltage Network in a Net-Zero Future

Australia has set a pathway to transition the National Electricity Market (NEM) into a modern energy system fit to meet the country’s net-zero future. The post-2025 NEM electricity market is designed to replace existing coal-fired generation by an expanding array of new technologies, including large-scale renewable energy generation and storage systems, complemented by rapid growth in consumer-side distributed energy resources, including rooftop solar PV, battery energy storage systems, EV charging, and controllable loads. This session presents insights from implementing Itron’s DERMS solution to facilitate Low Voltage Network operations with a rapidly expanding portfolio of distributed energy resources.
