Ngaba ukuqaliswa kwemarike yomthamo kuya kunceda ukuxhasa ukuthunyelwa kweenkqubo zokugcina amandla ezifunekayo kwinguqu yase-Australia kumandla ahlaziyekayo? Oku kubonakala ngathi yimbono yabanye abaphuhlisi beprojekthi yogcino lwamandla e-Australia abafuna iindlela ezintsha zengeniso ezifunekayo ukwenza ugcino lwamandla lusebenze njengoko imarike yemalike ye-FCAS ifikelela kwingeniso.
Ukuqaliswa kweemarike zamandla kuya kuhlawula izibonelelo zokuvelisa ezithunyelwayo ngokutshintshiselana ngokuqinisekisa ukuba amandla abo akhoyo xa kwenzeka ukuveliswa okunganeleyo, kwaye zenzelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba kukho umthamo owaneleyo wokuthunyelwa kwimarike.
IKomishoni yoKhuseleko lwaMandla ase-Australia ithathela ingqalelo ukuqaliswa kwesixhobo sobuchule njengenxalenye yesicwangciso sayo esicetywayo emva ko-2025 kwimarike yombane yelizwe lase-Australia, kodwa kukho iinkxalabo zokuba uyilo olunjalo lwentengiso luya kugcina kuphela izityalo zombane ezibaswa ngamalahle zisebenza kwinkqubo yamandla ixesha elide. Yiyo loo nto isixhobo somthamo esigxile kuphela kwisakhono esitsha kunye nobuchwepheshe obutsha obungakhuphiyo obufana neenkqubo zokugcina ibhetri kunye nokuveliswa kombane ompontshwa ngamanzi.
Intloko ye-Energy Australia yophuhliso lweepotfoliyo, uDaniel Nugent, uthe imarike yamandla yase-Australia kufuneka inike inkuthazo eyongezelelweyo kunye nemijelo yengeniso ukuququzelela ukuqaliswa kweeprojekthi zokugcina amandla.
"Uqoqosho lweenkqubo zokugcina ibhetri lusaxhomekeke kakhulu kwiinkonzo ze-FCAS, imarike encinci enokutshatyalaliswa ngokulula ngokhuphiswano," uNugent uxelele i-Australian Energy Storage kunye neNkomfa yeBattery kwiveki ephelileyo. .”
Ke ngoko, kufuneka sifunde indlela yokusebenzisa iinkqubo zokugcina amandla ebhetri ngokwesiseko somthamo wokugcina amandla kunye nomthamo ofakiweyo. Ngoko ke, ngaphandle kweeNkonzo eziNcedisayo zoLawulo lweFrekhwensi (FCAS), kuya kubakho umsantsa kwezoqoqosho, onokufuna amanye amalungiselelo olawulo okanye uhlobo oluthile lwemakethi yamandla ukuxhasa uphuhliso olutsha. Umsantsa wezoqoqosho wokugcinwa kwamandla exesha elide uba banzi ngakumbi. Siyabona ukuba iinkqubo zikarhulumente ziza kudlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuvaleni lo msantsa. “
I-Energy Australia iphakamisa inkqubo yokugcina ibhetri ye-350MW / 1400MWh kwi-Latrobe Valley ukuze incede ukubuyisela umthamo olahlekileyo ngenxa yokuvalwa kwendawo yombane yamalahle e-Yallourn ngo-2028.
Amandla e-Australia nawo anezivumelwano kunye ne-Ballarat kunye ne-Gannawarra, kunye nesivumelwano kunye ne-Kidston pumped storage power station.
UNugent waqaphela ukuba urhulumente we-NSW uxhasa iiprojekthi zokugcinwa kwamandla ngokusebenzisa iSivumelwano seeNkonzo zeXesha eliLide leeNkonzo zaMandla (LTESA), ilungiselelo elinokuthi liphindwe kwezinye iingingqi ukuvumela iiprojekthi ezintsha ukuba ziphuhliswe.
“IsiVumelwano sokuGcinwa kwaMandla eRhuluneli ye-NSW ngokucacileyo sisixhobo sokunceda ukuxhasa ukuyilwa ngokutsha kobume bemarike,” utshilo. "Urhulumente uxoxa ngezindululo ezahlukeneyo zohlaziyo ezinokunciphisa iyantlukwano yengeniso, kubandakanywa ukurhoxiswa komrhumo wegridi, kunye nokuxabisa iinkonzo ezintsha eziyimfuneko ezifana noncedo lwegridi yokuxinana ukongeza imithombo yengeniso yokugcina amandla.
Owayesakuba nguNdunankulu wase-Australia uMalcolm Turnbull waqhuba ukwandiswa kwenkqubo ye-Snowy 2.0 ngexesha lakhe kwaye ngoku ulilungu lebhodi le-International Hydropower Association. Umrhumo womthamo unokufuneka ukuxhasa uphuhliso olutsha lokugcina amandla ixesha elide, utshilo.
U-Turnbull uxelele inkomfa, "Siza kufuna iinkqubo zokugcina ezihlala ixesha elide. Ngoko uhlawula njani? Impendulo ecacileyo kukuhlawula umthamo. Bonisa ukuba ungakanani umthamo wokugcina owufunayo kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo kwaye uhlawule. Ngokucacileyo, imarike yamandla kwi-Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) ayikwazi ukwenza oko. "
