Abstract

Australia is one of the leading countries in energy transition, aiming to securely operate its largest power system with up to 75% variable renewable generation by 2025. Technologies like high-inertia synchronous condensers, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and grid-forming converters support this transformation. Synchronous condensers have enabled significant renewable integration, while BESS have shown market benefits and crucial grid support during contingencies. New developments provide grid-supporting capabilities like fast frequency response and synthetic inertia, strengthening the grid and facilitating renewable energy integration. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of how Australia's power system is overcoming challenges while integrating secure, low-cost, and clean energy.
