An Australian study about the impacts of solar generation on urban electricity grids has revealed that the Outback town of Alice Springs offers valuable experience and expertise to share with the rest of the world.
Alice Springs was the first Australian town chosen to go under the microscope in the research conducted by the Australian Photovoltaic (PV) Association.
The research will feed into Australia’s active participation in the International Energy Agency (IEA) PV Power Systems program (PVPS), which provides a forum for all IEA countries to share knowledge and experiences on the integration of high levels of PV into electricity grids.
“It’s all about the ‘penetration level’ of solar in our town, the impacts and repercussions of that, and how our experiences can help the national and international industry”, says Sam Latz, Alice Solar City General Manager.
