7 October 2021 at 12:00pm - 4:00pm (Australian WST)

This half day virtual event has been created as a taster and lead in to our larger two day Power Systems conference due to be held in May 2022. This virtual event and mini conference features some of our key presenters from the main conference delivering an insight into power system protection design, installation, testing and inspection procedures for industrial and commercial power systems with a strong focus on renewable energy and integration, microgrids, electrical safety and substation automation. This event will explore these electrical topics from a fresh yet practical perspective to help delegates reduce expensive downtime in their plant and/or equipment by identifying the correct application of these principles.

• Renewables and Alternatives Implementation and the Associated Technical Issues - Professor Akhtar Kalam
• How to leverage FCAS from a VPP without a market and can PV contribute to operating reserve? - Thomas Wearne
