We are delighted to invite you to the book launch of The Future of Decentralized Electricity Distribution Networks written by Dr. Fereidoon Sioshansi where Professor Paul Simshauser AM and Dr. Joel Gilmore are co-authors.
The work outlines the processes by which passive and homogeneous electricity consumers become distributed, self-generating, power storing and power sharing consumers "prosumers" and "prosumagers". The nature of their service needs and dependence on the services delivered by the distribution network are diverging.
Contributors assess how consumers are discovering and exercising options to migrate away from total reliance on upstream generators to produce electricity and on the delivery network for its transmission.
This book argues that new service, business models and new methods for collecting sufficient revenues to maintain the network are mandatory for the survival of modern utilities.
This is of particular interest to Queenslanders where there is world-record levels of rooftop solar PV, and the associated effects on the distribution system.
