It uses real-time load and Australian Bureau of Meteorology climate data to assess PV’s ability to reduce peak generation requirements, defer network augmentation, reduce line losses and reduce the cost of conventional supply in the Western Australian electricity networks and regional grids. It then identifies existing market opportunities for PV in Western Australia (WA), examines whether these capture the identified benefits and discusses strategies for capturing the system benefits provided by PV.
