Aemo power system requirements
AEMO, the system planner, publishes the system strength requirements annually by 1 December1. These requirements are for each system strength node, and include the minimum three phase fault level for the upcoming year commencing 2 December, to be used for the purposes of maintaining power system security1. AEMO also forecasts the overall transmission system requirements to connect new generators and reliably supply consumers over the next 20 years in its Integrated System Plan2. To meet its obligation to consider system strength requirements in the NEM, AEMO publishes a system strength requirements methodology and determines system strength requirements using fault level as a proxy for system strength3.
As the photovoltaic (PV) industry continues to evolve, advancements in Aemo power system requirements have become critical to optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources. From innovative battery technologies to intelligent energy management systems, these solutions are transforming the way we store and distribute solar-generated electricity.
