Sister Strata helps committee members find their doppelganger

27/7/2021

 
With over 360,000 strata buildings in Australia there is guaranteed to be another strata building which is similar to the one you live in today. If you are a strata committee member you often feel that it takes time and effort to get to the right information that you need to make a decision and some of these decisions are costly if the wrong path is taken. When you don't have the luxury of time or the committee consensus required to hire a consultant, "phoning a friend" on the strata committee of your twin building might be just what you need to get that perspective or assurance you are looking for.

How does a Virtual Power Plant work?

30/11/2020

 
In our current electricity system, the demand for electricity changes throughout the year, and fossil fuel power plants adjust their output to keep the system working. The demand often spikes up during summer, when all the air-conditioners are operating. The additional electricity demand from these air-conditioners is usually met by backup power plants. However, these backup plants are only feasible to operate when the market price for electricity generation goes beyond a certain level. This is because they only operate occasionally and they rely on these few hours of peak price events to make as much revenue as possible. The typical price for electricity generation is below $100/MWh, which can be pushed up to a capped price of $15,000/MWh during peak periods. This is more than 100x the average price. As a result, these back up power plants can make millions of dollars in just a few hours to ensure there’s sufficient electricity supply during periods of peak demand in the grid.
