[AusNOG] DC undervoltage issues

[Adam Gardner]

Generally for demand side management (e.g. Power shedding etc), the annual
payments range well into the tens of thousands to enter into this type of
arrangement plus additional payments if called upon which cover well over
the cost of diesel.

Kind Regards

So based on today¹s fuel cost which is 161.84 cents per L you¹re looking
at about $290.00 per hour per 1MVA






Point of comparison:

The AEMO spot price for electricity in Victoria peaked at a bit under
$14,000 per MWh over the last 24 hours.

About $13,000 in SA, briefly.

You¹re saving your power utility a considerable amount of money by taking
yourself offline during peaks.  You should expect recognition of that in
your price negotiations.
