Development of Reliability Driven Rural Electricity Supply

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Australia is sparsely populated with SWER systems covering a large part of the rural supply. It is expected that a portion of the population will move to some areas of semi-urban/rural areas as the cost of housing and land will be cheaper in these regions. This will result in the development of new townships. In addition the growth in air conditioners and other electrical goods is leading to a rise in consumption per customer which is occurring across all parts of the country not just in 'green change' areas. With this scenario in mind, the aim of this project is to plan for rural electricity supply that can have a defined reliability, with a potential for a performance that can be designed to approach that of urban centers.
