Short Course: Operating Envelopes and their Implementation
More Information
The short course on Operating Envelopes and their Implementation covers fundamental, advanced and practical aspects related to the use of operating envelopes by distribution companies.
Australia is the first country in the world where residential customers are being offered flexible export limits in which export limits (for solar PV) are not fixed but vary throughout the day according to what the poles and wires can withstand. Such flexible export limits are also known as Operating Envelopes (OEs).
The short course on Operating Envelopes and their Implementation is a 2-day course delivered by the Power and Energy Systems Group and the Melbourne Energy Institute at The University of Melbourne. It covers fundamental, advanced, and practical aspects related to the use of operating envelopes OEs by distribution companies.
Topics covered include:
- the concept of OEs;
- practical challenges of implementing OEs;
- calculation of OEs with limited observability;
- the bigger picture of OEs;
- case studies from Australian distribution companies;
- OEs as business as usual; and
- hands-on OE calculations using different algorithms.
COURSE DELIVERY
This course is provided free of charge and will be delivered fully online from Wednesday 13th to Thursday 14th of March 2024.
