ARENA commissioned this study to examine the potential for widespread integration of renewable energy into existing Australian fossil fuel power stations and their sites.
Report extract
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)’s mandate is to improve the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies and increase the supply of renewable energy in Australia. As hybridisation of renewable energy technologies and existing fossil plants is an important near-term application for renewable systems, ARENA commissioned Parsons Brinckerhoff to conduct this study exploring the potential for deployment of hybrid power stations in Australia, and whether there is a sufficient market for a possible ARENA Strategic Initiative.
