Abstract
The Australian electricity sector and energy sectors are undergoing another significant transition due to the urgent need to meet climate change mitigation objectives. These are represented by the well-known Paris Agreement’s 1.5-degree trajectories. The previous significant transition took place in the late 1990s when the National Electricity Market (NEM) was created through a series of deregulations and partial privatisations. The current transition, a rapid move towards 100% renewables by 2035 or earlier, is raising significant questions about the NEM’s arrangements. These particularly pertain to whether the physics was lost in the process.

In this seminar, Kate Summers, Principal Consultant – Power Systems at Ekistica, will cover the controls in the National Energy Market, what was lost, what was reinstated and what we need to support the transition in the future.

Speaker
Kate Summers, Principal Consultant – Power Systems at Ekistica

Kate is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineers, and an experienced power systems and control engineer with extensive electrical experience, market and regulatory knowledge. She is passionate about renewable energy and dedicated to bringing about an orderly transition to a low carbon future. Her broad engineering knowledge has been gained over 28 years of engineering practice covering a wide range of practical field experience, power system analysis, transmission planning, operational control, regulatory compliance and project connection negotiation.

In 2020 Kate was jointly awarded National Professional Electrical Engineer of the Year for her work identifying the root cause of the deterioration in system frequency.

Kate’s recent focus has been on control philosophy, shedding light on the unintended consequences of market based decisions in respect of control theory, the loss of power system engineering practices and the escalating complexity of regulation imposed on engineering.

Current modelling practises are overly complex, devoid of clear purpose and extend beyond sound use of the mathematical methods. Computer models are a tool to aid engineering interpretation of the power system. Kate is an advocate for stepping back from detailed power system modelling to understand complex problems from fundamental principles aligned with power system control philosophy.

Welcome to Monash Energy Seminar Series
We look forward to seeing you participating in informative seminars that are held monthly for the presentation and discussion of various energy and climate change topics with light refreshments and networking to follow.

We aim to bring together Monash and external energy and climate experts to promote a cross-disciplinary understanding of challenges and opportunities rising during the global energy crisis. Building and growing the Monash Energy community is the priority of the Monash Energy Institute. By offering the Monash Energy Seminar Series, we are enabling the opportunity for all passionate and interested in energy, including academics,, students, practitioners, professionals and volunteers to congregate in one space.

We aim to create a collaborative environment that helps to share research, expertise, practice and innovative ideas for developing a clean and sustainable energy future. Monash Energy Seminars are open and free events, but do require registration.
