Date & Time
August 26, 2026 2:45 PM - 3:30 PM
TypePanel Discussion
AC-coupled versus DC-coupled architectures: What are the trade-offs for Australian hybrid projects when considering interconnection costs?
How can Australian developers design battery systems with co-location in mind from the outset to streamline commissioning processes, optimise shared infrastructure costs, and unlock additional economic incentives?
What are the practical challenges of managing different design lives when pairing 25-year solar assets with 15-year battery systems?
How do Australian hybrid plants deliver the predictable performance and fast responsiveness that AEMO expects while coordinating reactive power management, ramp-rate control, and advanced grid services across multiple generation and storage technologies behind a single connection point?
What role will Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) play in Australia’s hybrid project pipeline, and how are developers evaluating LDES technologies against traditional lithium-ion systems?
