Powering What's Next - Energy storage, from backup to backbone

Corrie McLeodHOST
Can you talk us a little bit through where we've come from and where we are now?

3:58Nigel WentGUEST
So, you know, historically, when we're thinking battery storage projects, we're thinking exactly that around storage.

4:03Nigel WentGUEST
There's been developments in relation to grid forming inverters, and we'll get to that in a moment.

4:09Nigel WentGUEST
But the change in the technology is allowing not just the power to be stored and used when it's going to be more suitable for the consumer, but also allows the transmission companies and many of our customers to actually inject that power back in to provide quick stability support and to strengthen the grid.

4:27Nigel WentGUEST
As Anna mentioned too, you know, we've got a situation in Australia at the moment where the rate at which the traditional methods for strengthening the network, such as synchronous generation, they're being replaced farm-wide with inverter-based power systems, whether they be wind or solar, and they bring in self-inherent instabilities into the grid.

Would that be fair, Nigel, an energy system glow-up? I'm keen for your thoughts on what Anna's just been talking through.
