A power system is a huge, complex machine. It gets energy from hundreds of large generators and delivers it to millions of households and businesses of all sizes, many of which are also generating their own power. At every millisecond, supply and demand in the system must be in balance. So how does an operator like AEMO keep control of such a complex system?

Just 0.1 megahertz off, and the sound suffers badly. Well, the same principle applies to frequency in power systems around the world – but getting it wrong can have far bigger consequences than a bit of static over a song!

The battery is now operational, and AEMO has played an important role in the integration of this new technology onto the National Electricity Market.
