The AEMC appointed consultants to develop a long-term generation expansion plan for meeting the LRET. Consequently, the ‘core’ scenarios for the portfolio and geographic distribution of technologies have been determined. ROAM Consulting was subsequently appointed to utilise these scenarios to forecast the cost of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), Network Support and Control Ancillary Services (NSCAS) and transmission augmentation associated with the LRET for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).

Wind Energy and the National Electricity Market with Particular Reference to South Australia
© Australian Greenhouse Office Wind Energy and the National Electricity Market with particular reference to South Australia A report for the Australian Greenhouse Office Prepared by Hugh Outhred Version 8 March 2003 Contact details for Hugh Outhred Tel: 0414 385 240; Fax: 02 9385 5993; Email: [email protected] Wind Energy and the National Electricity Market Summary Wind energy appears likely to be the first stochastic resource to be widely used for generating electricity. For that reason alone, wind energy brings new issues that should be addressed prior to its extensive deployment. However, the exploitation of wind energy also brings innovative use of generator technologies, including widespread use of induction generators and power electronic interfaces, which may have implications for electricity industry operation. The key issues that arise are: ß Uncertainty in the future power output and energy production of wind turbines, wind farms and groups of wind farms, arising from effects such as topographic features, short- term turbulence, diurnal, weather and seasonal patterns, and long-term phenomena such as climate change. ß Voltage and frequency disturbances due to starting transients, power fluctuations during operation and stopping transients initiated by high wind speeds or network disturbances. ß Potential problems in fault detection and/or fault clearance caused by either inadequate or excessive fault level in the vicinity of a wind farm. ß Potential difficulties in managing frequency and/or voltage in power systems with a high penetration of wind turbines due to low inertia and/or lack of voltage control capability. ß Difficulties in capturing economies of scale in network connection for wind farms, because the network rating that minimises per-unit network connection cost may exceed the effective network rating required by a single wind farm (which will usually be less than the nameplate rating of the wind farm due to diversity effects).

A Tale of Two Windy Cities-Public Attitutdes Towards Wind Farm
A Tale of Two Windy Cities: Public Attitudes Towards Wind Farm Development Draft: January 2009 This is a draft; please do not quote or cite without permission of the author. Sandy Bond, Ph.D., MBS, ANZIV, Senior Lecturer, Curtin University of Technology, P.O. Box 7100, Karawara, WA 6152 Australia Phone: + 61 8 9266 2844 Facsimile: + 61 8 9266 3026 E-mail: [email protected] A Tale of Two Windy Cities: Public Attitudes Towards Wind Farm Development Keywords: Wind farms – public attitudes - property values Abstract: The Australian government is supporting the development of renewable energy technology, such as wind power, in its efforts to reduce greenhouse gases in line with the Kyoto agreement. While wind technology offers many advantages, property owners have voiced opposition to the siting of wind farms due to concerns over changes in neighbourhood aesthetics, noise, loss of bird life, and loss in property values. Such opposition can result in planning permission being declined and a restriction in the ability to meet Kyoto targets. This paper outlines the results of research carried out in Western Australia in 2008 to investigate the attitudes of residents from two southern coastal towns towards the development of wind farms. The results indicate that overall the respondents from both Albany and Esperance think of a wind farm in positive terms. The proximity to the wind farm is an important aspect that could determine attitudes with many respondents reporting that they would not want to live “near” a wind farm (usually stated as between 1- 5km). Over a third (38%) of the respondents would pay 1%-9% less for their property due to the presence of a wind farm nearby.
