Energy and Environmental Markets | Research Capability & Technology Portfolio

Energy and Environmental Markets is a Centre devoted to studying the challenges and opportunities of clean energy transition within market-oriented electricity industries. Key aspects of this transition are the integration of large-scale renewable technologies and distributed energy technologies (generation, storage and ‘smart’ loads) into the electricity industry.

Competitive advantage

The Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets (CEEM) is unique in that it brings together experts across engineering, business, social sciences and law
One of Australia’s leading research groups on restructured electricity industries with more than a decade’s experience delivering expert solutions on market design, regulatory arrangements and related policy framework development
Extensive expertise in electricity market and distributed energy modelling, data science applications to energy problems and the development of open source tools

Impact

Increase the understanding of the role of storage in the transition of electricity systems and markets to integrating high penetration renewable energy, both centralised and distributed.

Successful applications

Open source tools including market dispatch, tariff design and distributed energy sharing and aggregation models
Interdisciplinary frameworks for policy, market and regulatory assessment and design
Analysis of impacts and value of storage and demand response on networks and power systems, over a range of timeframes
Assessment of the potential and value of storage and demand response for integration of variable renewable energy

Capabilities and facilities

High performance computing
Access to the National Computational Infrastructure, Canberra
