SA Generation Mix reliant on Wind

SA has highest Renewable Energy mix in Australia.

This has led to :

  • power shortages,

  • higher prices,

==> picture [400 x 273] intentionally omitted <==

  • dependence on Victorian brown coal generation (via interconnectors)

Further gas shortages predicted

SA Dependence on Electricity Imports

Whilst interconnectors have expanded, coal-fired electricity in Victoria is to be retired.

Network Stability Crucial – or System fails

Network must be balanced and respond instantly to;

  • Supply changes (generation and transmission)

  • Wind and Solar generation intermittent.

  • Customer load changes; and

  • Import / Export changes via Interconnectors – Victoria.

Voltages, currents and frequency must be maintained within defined limits.

Network imbalances can quickly lead to widespread blackouts.

Electricity Supply Concerns

Industrial customers concerned about affordable, reliable electricity supply.

Exacerbated by recent closure of Northern Power Station which was providing baseload power.

This was the last coal fired power station in South Australia.

LCEP – Power Intentions

Opportunities for baseload and peaking power.

Baseload

LCEP Internal ~150-200MW External – aim to secure long term contracts for >150 MW and up to ~900MW

Peaking Expect opportunity is 100’s of MW

LCEP – Power Fuel

ISG produces a “syngas” which contains 3 main fuels; Methane – CH 4 Carbon monoxide – CO Hydrogen – H2

Many power stations have been designed to burn fuel derived from coal gasification.

Syngas quality

  • Air blown ISG has a high nitrogen content (low cost)

  • Oxygen blown ISG has higher calorific value (but higher cost).

Peaking Power

Is now demand for “ dispatchable power ” at short notice.

LCEP has low fuel costs vs traditional gas / diesel.

CQ Partners study complete.

– Historic and likely frequency, duration and amplitude of events.

This feeds into pre feasibility studies ( PFS ).

Also revenue potential from hedge products and network support.
