Melbourne Energy Institute

A key problem facing the world is how to adapt to power systems based on renewables. The wind doesn’t always blow and the sun can’t provide power at night. How do we integrate baseload power and intermittent supplies? How do we modify demand-side behaviour to take advantage of a variable supply market? This seminar will address these questions exploring: renewable variability; transmission distribution; technology integration, and demand-side behaviour.
