This project aims to develop an innovative data-driven modelling method for renewable generators. Currently, the stability of modern renewables can only be analysed via time-consuming scenario-based simulations, and there is a lack of effective means to holistically assess system stability. This project expects to generate for the first time clear renewable generator models through measurements and partially known information from generator manufacturers to replace the existing black-box models. Expected outcomes include a new data-driven modelling method of renewables, which will significantly benefit the energy industry by increasing power grid stability, ultimately boosting investment in and uptake of renewable technologies and products.","funding-current":1314495.00,"funding-at-announcement":1286677,"investigators-current":[{"title":"A/Prof","firstName":"Ruifeng","familyName":"Yan","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-5779-9090 "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"A/Prof","firstName":"Ruifeng","familyName":"Yan","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-5779-9090 "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"The University of Queensland","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"The University of Queensland","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4008","name":"Electrical Engineering","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"400803","name":"Electrical Energy Generation (Incl.

Reducing unstable oscillations between renewables in these zones is important to ensure safe renewable energy production and development. However, renewable generators are complex and hence very challenging to analyse their stability from a systems point of view, and we currently lack the ability to effectively assess and secure the stability of renewable energy zones. This project aims to address this problem by extracting a small amount of available generator data and transforming it into a usable system stability model. With this expected outcome, energy industries will be able to perform more advanced analysis on system stability rather than the current time-consuming case studies one at a time. This enables more effective and efficient assessment on renewable energy zone stability, decreases unplanned grid outages, and reduces cost on renewable projects, and hence energy price for consumers. The project findings will be disseminated through seminar presentations to the energy industry and social media to the general public. In the future, this project expects to provide Australian communities with economic benefit by lowering stability evaluation time and cost, with social benefit by building confidence in more stable renewable energy integration, and with commercial and environmental benefits by enabling future renewable investment and employment in Australia."}}}
