In order to achieve significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, Australia, along with the rest of the world, must dramatically cut emissions from power generation.
Renewable energy technologies offer the potential for very low emission electricity but are currently a relatively low percentage of total electricity generation, (eg. only 9% in Western Australia) due to issues such as cost, variability of output and difficulty in accessing the high voltage electricity networks. This talk describes the key technologies which could supply a substantial proportion of Western Australia's energy needs in the future and compares the relative costs, advantages and disadvantages of each technology.
Mark Rayner is currently Verve Energy's Project Manager for Australia's first utility scale solar farm, the 10 MW Greenough River Solar Farm.
He has a B.Eng (Hons) from UniSA and BAppSc and MSc (Renewable Energy Technology) from Murdoch Uni. He has fifteen years experience as an engineer and project manager, with the last 12 years working exclusively on large scale renewable energy projects.
