Title: Future-Proofing the NEM with Hybrids: Smarter Energy Storage Systems for a Changing Grid
Webinar Speakers:
Matt Grover, Director - Energy Markets
Sam Markham, Growth Manager
With utility-scale BESS uptake in Australia predicted to increase to over 45 GWh by 2035 (according to BloombergNEF) and the value of daytime solar energy falling, hybrid systems with renewables and batteries are the future of clean energy in Australia. But success of a hybrid system demands more than just co-locating renewable generation and storage behind the same connection point. Success demands an integrated approach to system design & controls, and market participation & bidding.
Join Fluence experts for a deep dive into the key considerations for developing hybrids to future-proof your projects, maximize lifetime value, and navigate the growing complexity of today’s regulatory frameworks.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the following topics:
- The essentials of hybrid systems in the NEM: what they are, why they matter, and how they unlock greater resilience and flexibility.
- Regulatory arrangements for hybrids in the NEM: what are the regulatory arrangements and what key decisions do developers get to make? AC vs. DC coupling, metering and registration.
- Smart control and optimization strategies: how new registration, bidding, and dispatch rules impact hybrid operations — what you need to do to stay ahead and the importance of smart forecasting and bidding to maximise revenue and maintain compliance.
