Australian Renewable Energy Agency funded Open Source Grid Integration Modelling Tool, allowing decision makers, energy system planners, regulators and project developers to freely undertake extensive scenario modelling that will provide insights into potential pathways for the evolution of the NEM from the present day to a low-carbon power system.
ITP was granted $882,000 from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Governments of NSW, Victoria and South Australia to develop an open-source Grid Integration Modelling Tool.
In particular, users can examine the impact of:
The development partners are:
Key features of the modelling tool include that:
Results from key scenarios are displayed and updated regularly, along with links to download the open-source code for openCEM, at www.opencem.org.au.
ITP Renewables now maintains and regularly utilises the tool for cutting-edge electricity market analysis in response to news and announcements from generators and government, to better inform the public and decision-makers of their impact. Contact us if you are interested in consulting services based on openCEM, or any of our related, custom modelling tools for analysing complex problems in grid optimisation and capacity expansion.
