Eminent Speaker Series: A Sustainable Energy Future for Australia

Wed, 2015-02-04 13:47 -- adminssee

If we replaced all the fossil fuelled power stations of the Australian National Electricity Market by commercially available renewable energy systems, how reliable would the renewable electricity supply system be? What would be the respective costs of the 100% renewable energy system, an efficient fossil fuelled system and fossil fuelled systems with hypothetical carbon capture and storage and under what conditions would 100% renewable energy systems break-even with the various fossil fuelled systems? What are the greenhouse gas emissions from each scenario?

Pumped  hydroelectricity energy storage (PHES) is by far the most significant form of large-­scale energy storage in use around the world today with approximately 130 GW of generation capacity installed. PHES facility construction is resurgent globally as evolving electricity supply systems place greater value on stored energy.  Australia has approximately 1.5 GW of PHES capacities; however, no large-­scale facilities have been installed in the last 30 years
