It is the fourth report of its kind, with previous reports published in 1990, 2002 and 2007. The report presents and reviews environmental, social and economic performance data of WTC industries, sourced directly from these industries and supplemented by state and local government data and other published reports. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected, with 40 interviews conducted and 27 questionnaire responses analysed. The following key findings reinforce that the WTC is the State’s premier industrial area, and has evolved a unique level of connectivity that gives strategic advantages to industry located within the WTC as well as Western Australia in general. The WTC: - 1) Is a significant contributor to the Western Australian economy with direct sales of $14.7 billion per annum. 2) Employs 11,362 people directly, of which 64% live locally within Cockburn, Kwinana or Rockingham. 3) Pays $953 million in wages and salaries directly to workers employed within the WTC. 4) Has indirect inter-industry flow-on effects amounting to an estimated $10.3 billion in output, $0.8 billion in wages and salaries paid, and 18,274 jobs. 5) Makes a positive social contribution to local communities with over $1.8 million dollars in donations reported by industries participating in the study for 2010/11, over double the value reported in 2007, in addition to the high level of local employment. 6) Has an extensive and highly integrated network of industrial symbiosis with approximately 158 synergies mapped between Kwinana cluster industries within the WTC, making the WTC a global leader in this area. 7) Has some protection from urban encroachment, though pressure does exist on the buffer, requiring further planning controls to protect both the community and industry. 8) Is a skills development centre and provides the state with a uniquely skilled workforce. The skills developed by WTC industries makes the local workforce highly valued by resource industries in the north. 9) Is committed to managing the environmental impacts of industry. Environmental issues including noise, air quality, societal risk, groundwater and the marine environment of Cockburn Sound are being well managed by industry and government, and have continued to improve over time.

This study is the fourth snapshot in time, with the original study in 1990 by Dames and Moore, and subsequent studies undertaken in 2002 and 2007 by SKM and Resource Economics Unit (REU). This iteration of the study has been expanded beyond its previous boundary of the Kwinana Industrial Area (KIA) and the Rockingham Industry Zone (RIZ) to encompass the entire WTC area, including areas such as the Australian Marine Complex (AMC) and the Latitude 32 Industry Zone. The current study seeks to address the following objectives: To quantify the direct and indirect economic and social importance of WTC industries to the local, Western Australian and Australian communities. To identify community benefits, environmental performance and sustainability initiatives of industry in the WTC. To determine the current synergies between WTC industries and report potential new synergies between industries. To identify the need for government support for existing industry and to facilitate establishment of new industries. This study was based on the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data obtained from existing and proposed WTC industries, support industries, government agencies and local government authorities. The study has found that the WTC: Has a major impact on the Western Australian economy through employment and upskilling of workers, direct sales, and value adding to primary outputs. Directly produces a larger amount of income than the wages and salaries of their employees through payments of dividends, taxes and royalties. Has significant inter-industry flow-on effects. Has a strong positive contribution to the local community by providing employment, training and development, as well as sponsorship of community activities. Continues to improve environmental performance and advance sustainability initiatives which benefit the local and broader community. One of the questions asked of industry in the questionnaire and during interviews was to identify the main constraints and benefits to their operations being located within the WTC. Industry response is presented graphically in Figure ES-1. The available synergies, strategic location of the WTC adjacent to port facilities, protection of a buffer zone, and availability of process inputs are key attractive factors for WTC industries. Urban encroachment is shown as a significant negative factor, along with energy costs, labour costs, level of environmental regulation and the value of the Australian dollar. The future prosperity of the WTC should be protected by enhancing the positive attributes identified and addressing the issues of most concern to industry and other stakeholders in the region.

This isolation has allowed the area to evolve a unique connectivity of heavy, fabrication, support and service industries, with utilities and infrastructure to suit. A cooperative and amicable industrial community has also developed in tandem with the growing synergies of the WTC. The growth of interacting industries and material transfers since the original 1990 study is presented in Table ES-1.

    University of Southern Queensland Facility of Health, Engineering and Sciences Low Load Frequency Support Capability - Collie Power Station A dissertation submitted by Alan Christian Cornish In fulfillment of the requirements of ENG4111 and 4112 Research Project towards the degree of Bachelor of Power Engineering (Honours) Submitted: October 2020 Abstract Energy markets around the world are in a transitional phase, where wind and solar generation are penetrating the markets at unforeseen rates. The desire to decarbonise emissions associated with power generation in Australia, is seen as the first step in meeting our commitments to the Paris Climate Change Agreement. This has had a significant effect upon the electricity grid within Western Australia. The high volume of renewable generation is creating grid instability during times of low demand. This is a result of fluctuations in generation due to the variability of wind and solar. Network strength is no longer as robust because of the loss of synchronous inertia that was behind a grid mainly powered by thermal machines. Many coal fired stations are attempting to become more flexible and change from base load to cyclical operation to assist counteract the irregular nature of wind and solar generation. Collie Power Station is one such station, attempting to improve its operational flexibility. One aspect is the desire that the station move from a current minimum load setpoint of 130MW to 105MW (generated) to assist the station remain dispatched at low load rather than desynchronising it from the grid. The aim of this dissertation is to model the frequency support capability at 105MW to determine if the station continues to provide frequency support for the grid.

  • 2014-11-25 QWON Power Stations
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL C1379 QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE (Of which some notice has been given) Tuesday, 25 November 2014 Hon Robin Chapple to the Leader ofthe House representing the Minister for Energy. Please provide a summary of all active power stations in Western Australia, including: age; capacity profile; fuel and/or mine type; number of employees; whether it is on or off the grid; and the closure schedule. I thankthe Hon. Member for some notice of this question. I table the attached document. The Public Utilities Office has relied on the Independent Market Operator for data concerning generators on the SWIS and has reported the maximum sent out capacity offered by these facilities into the Balancing Market, as of 25 November 2014. These figures may differ slightly from the number of capacity credits awarded and from facility nameplate capacity owing to factors including parasitic load and ambient temperature. For NWIS and NIS facilities, various sources have been used as there is no single definitive list of facilities. The nature of mining operations has not been investigated. The Public Utilities Office does not have access to data on the number of employees or on the closure schedule of power stations. The expected plant life of power stations is variable, a function of maintenance regimes and commercial considerations. ATTACHMENT TO QWN C1379 . 'I .
