Micro grids or whatever you want to call them causing problems lies squarely as the lack of action
from Fed governments in denying climate change and taking steps to address it. If action had been taken, these
so called problems would've been dealt with by modifying the grid to accommodate them.
Talking domestic/residential roof solar.
For those who watched Q & A on Thus 16/06, Saul Griffith, very well respected inventor, forecasts that
the future of renewable power will come from solar households. He labels each house a a mini
generator. Obviously this is not the be all and end all.
To all the nay sayers and critics, look it up and get familiar with it before telling me 'it's no good'.
Saul is the man commissioned by the White House to install a solar panel system on it.
Only strange this is that it hasn't happened yet.
University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba have installed a 2 MegaWatt system.
Look it up, shows you various graphs.
Once again, to all those nay sayers: this is the future. Accept it.

Just goes to show you some people have no idea of reality. Not all of Australians are connected to the national grid, WA, NT, remote communities in SA, Qld are connected to micro grids.
Micro grids are ran by diesel generators in many remote communities, if home solar arrays are feed into the grid can cause problems for the generator.
South Australian pushes the renewable lie because at this very minute 1000kw are being generated by diesel and gas 600kw from wind, its total demand is 1900kw that outstanding 300kw comes from the interconnectors with Vic. The rest of SA not connected to the grid are running of diesel.

I wonder how this happened and what effect it will have.

Heres a link to the realtime power production and demand of electricty
I can't open that hypertext link. Could you please provide a summary?

P.S. I see that you've posted the image. Thank you.

For Buzz,
Here is the link you are having trouble with
https://reneweconomy.com.au/nem-watch/

Here is another tit bit of information
Lets hope the other states see the value of not following SA

SA pays a penalty to use heavy reliance on renewables SA has the highest periods of power outages.
From Gundogs graph note the battery percentage of SA.
It has been said before that SA take the power from the grid as indicated by the Grey scale and then the consumers pay a premium even though they supposedly have renewables in operation.
It is at least, pleasing to see that most of the other states arent that stupid.

I just saw this. Somehow I missed it in the digest.

The link still doesn't work, it's probably a proprietary problem.

I noticed that the ACT has the cheapest power and, according to the ACT government, is 100% renewable. It also has less outages than any other state or territory.

The ACT gets 95% of its energy from the national grid. It generates very little of its own. The claim of 100% renewables sounds like creative accounting.

ACT has '100 per cent renewable' electricity from today. But what does that mean?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-01/act-is-100-per-cent-renewable-but-what-does-that-mean/11560356

The last stage of South Australia's Hornsdale wind farm comes online today. With that, the ACT, more than 1,000 kilometres away, will "officially" be powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity.

But that does not mean Canberra is some sort of commune running off the grid.

Rather, for every watt of power the ACT consumes, it pays one back through its renewable investments around the country.

Climate Council senior researcher Tim Baxter said ACT homes still consumed energy produced by coal and gas plants.

Only about five per cent of the territory's electricity is generated within its borders, by a few solar farms and rooftop panels on Canberra homes.

The rest comes from the national electricity market -- the grid that powers the eastern seaboard-- and four-fifths of the grid's power comes from non-renewable sources.

Interesting today the renewable state is getting 20% of it power from victorian intercnnector, I suppose the wind is not blowing enough.
