Your world of energy.

The traditional view of the electricity supply chain is something like: Generators → Transmission & Distribution → Retailers → Consumers.

There’s much discussion in energy circles around how much storage will be required to deliver the zero-carbon energy systems the world is heading towards.

Is the NEM a winter or a summer peaking market? Australian summers are hot, so summer, right? Right?

Following a competitive application process, Gridcognition has been selected as a delegate for the UK Government’s 2022 London Tech Week ANZ Trade Mission and our team couldn’t be more excited!

A couple of weeks ago I posted some analysis looking at how much battery storage I would need to add to my existing solar system at home to be fully self-sufficient & 100% carbon free with respect to my electricity consumption.

I am pleased to announce that Gridcognition is now officially a signatory of the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact.

The National Electricity Market (NEM) in Australia is in disarray this week. What does this mean for Battery Storage?

Western Australia is a global hotspot for high-penetration of distributed generation in the electricity system, and the Government proactively defined a roadmap for DER integration and orchestration in early 2020.

Following my trip to the UK earlier this month I was struck by a couple of things related to solar PV investment.

Gridcognition recently hired a new Senior Data Scientist.

In a recent blog post, we compared the financial case for installing solar (and optionally battery storage) to a supermarket in Australia versus the UK.

We’re shifting away from a small number of large centrally located and primarily thermal (fossil-fuel powered) generators to a very large number of small, distributed and primarily renewable (wind, solar) generators and energy storage systems (batteries).

The new energy system will be made up of lots of variable renewable energy generation from wind and solar, balanced with energy storage and demand flexibility.

Here’s a quick video building on our recent blog post on community battery network tariffs.

In recent years solar feed-in-tariffs (FiTs) in Australia have been falling steadily to reflect both changes to the underlying wholesale markets

Our previous post compared the value that residential PV solar owners in Australia can get from the various Feed in Tariff (FiT) schemes in different states.

The rate of electric vehicle adoption in Australia has finally started to ramp up, and plenty of businesses and brands are jostling to charge all those new EVs.

The role of hydrogen in our future energy systems is a very hot topic right now.
