Australia has seen a fast increase in solar and wind electricity over the last decade. Especially South Australia that went from 1% renewable electricity to 70% solar and wind in its’ not so well connected system in less than 20 years.

The ambition is to be 100% renewable in 2027. For the electrical engineers the development has posed challenges – challenges that have, so far, been successfully met. South Australia was where frequency stability relying on ”synthetic inertia” was first provided by large batteries and power electronics.
What experiences are relevant for the rest of the world?
Which of these solutions are scalable or transferable to other energy systems – and what new challenges might emerge as more countries pursue similar transitions?
