Which generation technologies are considered to be 'intermittent' and connect to the grid in the distribution part of the network?

In Reza's presentation he mentions that Victoria had 12% renewables, but this is an old figure.  Using openelectricity.org.au, find how much of Victoria's electricity in 2024 came from renewables (%)

Add up all the fossil fuel generation in the NEM (non-scheduled as well as scheduled and semi-scheduled). What is the total capacity (in MW)?

Add up all the registered capacity of the Scheduled and semi-scheduled generators (column O).  How many MW of power is available in the NEM? (don't forget to write in the units)

Download the AEMO list of registered generators from the Moodle link.

On the tab labelled 'Generators and scheduled loads' work out how many scheduled and semi-scheduled units are currently available in the NEM (e.g. sort by the column labelled 'Clasification').

The number of scheduled and semi-scheduled generators in the NEM is:

Voltage is stepped up from the generators to the transmission system via transformers because:

Transmission systems are not meshed, as this adds too much complexity to the system, but distribution systems are meshed as this provides system redundancy

Large generators (coal, gas, hydro) produce power at around 8-20kV.  The reason for this is:

Voltage is stepped up from generators to high voltage for transmission and stepped down to medium and low voltage in the distribution network.  The machine for doing the conversion is called a:

What is the minimum voltage that is considered high voltage transmission?  Below this we describe the system as medium voltage distribution.
