Invitation to Participate
For 2024 the IPS Connect will be hosted on King Island, Tasmania, leveraging the King Island Renewable Energy Integration Project “a world-leading, hybrid off-grid power system capable of 100% renewable operation, that has been in continuous and reliable operation since 2013” – it’s a proven system now, rather than a development. This is the first megawatt class off-grid system with this capability in the world. The island’s advanced hybrid power system integrates renewable and innovative enabling technologies, including wind generation, solar PV, flywheels, battery storage, dynamic resistor.
Access across a range of operational solutions will ensure the IPS Connect 2024 captures the lessons learnt among successful early hybrid power plant deployments. The format encourages increased knowledge sharing, collaboration, and networking to support and sustain a viable microgrid economy. The University of Tasmania possesses significant experience facilitating industry events in support of emerging technologies, markets, and industries. In adopting our successful Workshop – Tour format, as used since 2015,
IPS Connect 2024 has become the premier isolated power systems workshop for the exchange of research, new technology and training in Pacific areas. This workshop provides a forum for academics, industry researchers and experts in renewable energy, storage, mobility and generation to discuss and share ideas, present results, reflect on past experiences and discuss future projects.
IPS Connect 2024 is unique in that we locate the interactive event adjacent to both operational and planned microgrid facilities and projects.
We look forward to your participation.
