Australian NEM + Dynamic Network Access

An emerging architecture combining five-minute regional wholesale dispatch and pricing with separate distribution-network access limits and increasing DER coordination.

Solution section

Retail & Demand-Side Coordination

How consumers, retailers, aggregators and flexible demand respond to the architecture.

Retail & Demand-Side Coordination

The Australian architecture is particularly interesting at the demand side.

Consumers and DER may interact through:

  • retailers;
  • aggregators;
  • virtual power plants;
  • dynamic tariffs;
  • flexible export arrangements;
  • dynamic operating envelopes.

A household controller can conceptually respond to both:

pr(t)p_r(t)

and:

[Pimin(t),Pimax(t)].[P_i^{min}(t),P_i^{max}(t)].

Energy value and network feasibility are therefore represented separately.
