New Zealand renewable energy and smart grid

Net zero energy buildings in New Zealand: Challenges and

A net zero energy building (NZEB) is a highly energy efficient building that can generate energy through renewable sources that is sufficient to meet its own needs. While NZEBs are being realized in many countries, its emergence in New Zealand remains slow. This study investigates several factors that may cause this issue, namely: legislative, geographical and

A smarter grid for New Zealand | EECA

A smarter grid for New Zealand. 3 October 2024 is becoming increasingly important as our electricity demand increases and we transition toward greater use of renewable energy sources. The FlexTalk project is an important step in investigating how to integrate smart devices with a smart grid to optimise energy use. The first report from

SmartGrid: Future networks for New Zealand power

This paper looks at options that could find relevance to New Zealand (NZ), in the context of its aspiration of achieving 90% renewable energy electricity generation portfolio by 2025. It also identifies developments in technical standardization and industry investments that facilitate a pathway towards an intelligent or smart grid development

Smarter EV charging helps New Zealand drive toward a renewable grid

''Fuelling up'' EVs using smart chargers can reduce charging costs, take pressure off the national electricity grid, and help reduce New Zealand''s carbon footprint through prioritising renewable energy and avoiding fossil fuel electricity generation. New Zealand is seeing around 1,700 new electric vehicles hit the road every month.

Widespread use of smart EV chargers could save billions on grid

EECA CEO Dr Marcos Pelenur said, "The uptake of smart EV chargers, and other grid-smart appliances, will be a gamechanger for energy in New Zealand. "Kiwis need energy that is affordable, reliable and sustainable – and if we can avoid over investing in new transmission and generation by managing our existing use, we all benefit."

How firming renewables will impact the electricity sector

Aotearoa New Zealand''s electricity system is transforming. More renewable electricity generation, like wind and solar farms, are being built to meet increasing electricity demand and the Government''s renewable energy targets. These electricity sources are, however, intermittent, as sunlight and wind fluctuates.

Net zero energy buildings in New Zealand: Challenges and

In New Zealand, smart meters, New Zealand also has abundant renewable energy sources. Lastly, the recent procurement of top-of-the-line energy storage systems and smart grid signifies that the distributed generation domain will not be clawing through haywire; so long as more electricity distribution networks adopt these innovations.

The electricity sector transition

New Zealand''s electricity system is transforming. In 2019, the Government passed a law targeting net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. 1 To achieve this goal, thermal generation, which provides storable and flexible generation,

About 40% of New Zealand''s total greenhouse gas emissions come from our energy use. The choices we make about how we use energy in our everyday lives and businesses have an impact. Our opportunity is to build out a strong and stable energy system by prioritising energy efficiency, energy conservation and the use of renewable energy sources.

Renewable Energy in New Zealand: The Reluctance for Resilience

New Zealand has an international reputation as being ''clean and green'' as well as ''100 % pure''. For the most part these brand images are empty signifiers (Grinlinton 2009; Pearce 2009), they do, however, have some basis of truth in terms of renewable energy.New Zealand''s electricity supply is largely generated by renewable sources such as hydro,
