Advanced grid-scale inverters might be able to support power system security during this transition, potentially even delivering the majority of support capabilities in a future system with low levels of synchronous generation online – but only if Australia puts the right focus on developing and proving them at scale.
Advanced inverters have shown their capability to provide a range of valuable capabilities in a bulk power system (see Section 3), however the maturity and demonstrated scale of these capabilities varies.
The limit must be set to no more than 10 kW per phase (or an alternate value if required by Ausgrid). Once commissioned, the export limit must have the ability be adjustable down to zero through a software settings change. Interface protection is required to be provided covering individual installations within a residential cluster where both: or
Upon exceeding 200kVA inverter capacity, export limiting behind the independent meter must be commissioned for all new and upgraded sites connected to a single network supply point. The limit must be set to no more than 10 kW per phase (or an alternate value if required by Ausgrid).
