Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology
• No common definition of low load.
• Low load diesel pilots underway across most Australian utilities.
• Low load capability appears generic (across manufacturers).
• Don’t hold your breath for lower energy storage prices in 2017.
• Diesel price rises to 2015 levels out across 2017.

• LLD transitions isolated power systems from low to medium RE penetration.
• Minimum CoE inflection moved from low to medium RE penetrations.
Generic Economic Modelling
Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology
• 60% load acceptance recovery in 4s (120kW -840kW).
• Frequency dip of 2 Hz.
