In August 2021, ARENA published a report sharing ‘The Generator Operations Series – Report Two: Ramp Rates for Solar and Wind Generators on the NEM’. This report analyses the impact of generator size (geographic footprint and installed capacity) on ramp rates for solar and wind farms in Australia. The findings can help to inform on-grid and off-grid applications; however, developers of off-grid hybrid power stations have the most to gain from the presented outcomes.
Ekistica is the data handler and knowledge sharing agent for ARENA’s LSS portfolio and co-authored the report alongside ARENA and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
