Can the Large Scale Deployment of Distributed Generation Onto Electricity Markets Reduce Carbon Emissions? An Australian Case Study Luke Reedman (CSIRO), Liam Wagner (UQ) IAEE, Stockholm 21 June, 2011
Outline • DG: What, why, how • Australia’s Electricity Market • Modelling Frameworks • Scenarios • Results
DG: What, why, how • DG has many names and forms • Typically low emission when compared to current technology mix • Small part of current mix • Number of drivers increasing its uptake: • Increasing retail prices • Building regulations • Corporate goals • Incentive schemes • Impending ETS
NEM overview • a Nameplate rating of generating units that are registered as “scheduled”. • b Sent-out energy from scheduled generating units. • Sources: AEMO (2010), ESAA (2010).
Modelling frameworks Energy Sector Model (ESM) PLEXOS Optimal dispatch of generators across the NEM. Optimal bid stack formulation for each station for Short Run and Long Run Marginal Cost (SRMC and LRMC) recovery. Merit order of dispatch formulated based on bid stack. Physical operating characteristics of each generating unit Portfolio optimisation and emissions profiles Transmission and Interconnector flows. • MARKAL style bottom-up model of Australian energy sector • Annual time-step • State level • 17 DG and 16 CG tech types • 4 end-users • 13 road transport fuels • 5 engine types
Scenarios Source: Commonwealth of Australia (2008), Australia’s Low Pollution Future.
Conclusions/further work • Results indicate DG does have a role to play • Deployment leads to greater emissions reduction • 10-15% depending on scenario • Greater impact in the medium term • Non-market barriers need to be removed • More examination around key sensitivities needed • Continued refinement of modelling frameworks
