Monash's Smart Energy City, Australian Renewable Energy Agency

The Smart Energy City project demonstrate solutions for controlling and optimising DER within a largeprecinct behind a single connection point. The project demonstrate the value and benefits to customers of new business models and revenue opportunities, the opportunities to improve the resilience of the electricity network and to reduce the need for network infrastructure investment.

As part of the Smart Energy City project, the Smart Energy Framework has been developed to deliver on the design principles of scalability and replicability outside of the Monash environment. This framework is a design and implementation method for the introduction of Smart Energy Management to precinct scale microgrids. The introduction of smart energy management enables the application of energy management strategies that can address objectives such as maximising DER value and providing network services.
