Projects and trials
Find out how we’re using new technologies in our projects and trials. These are just a selection of the initiatives we’re working on.
Flexible Exports for Solar PV Trial
A world-first project enabling flexible export limits for solar systems, responding to the real-time capacity of the local network
Market Active Solar Trial
Combining flexible export connections with innovative retail market offers aims to maximise the opportunity for customers to participate in the market.
Enhanced voltage management
Improving the control of network voltage levels, so more solar customers can export to the grid
Closed Loop Voltage Control Trial
Trialling smart control systems to better manage network voltage and support more Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
Diverse Data Trial
Building greater understanding of our network, DER and new data sources – by collecting large volumes of data from new technologies such as smart meters
Time-of-Use Network Tariffs
Encouraging the use of more solar-generated energy during the middle of the day
Smart Hot Water Control
Using smart hot water systems as energy storage and optimising energy usage by using excess solar generation
Advanced Virtual Power Plant Grid Integration Trial
Providing increased network access for the largest Virtual Power Plant actively participating in the Australian energy market
Electric Vehicles
Supporting and encouraging the transition to electric vehicles in South Australia
Residential Battery Trial
One of Australia’s first Virtual Power Plant trials
