    Impact of Renewable Generation on the Philippine Wholesale Electricity Spot Market
    MCCONNELL, D (Melbourne Energy Institute, 2013-06-08)
    Renewable generation has been shown to depress wholesale electricity prices in liberalized or deregulated electricity markets, through an effect known as the “merit order effect”. This study aimed to quantify the “merit order effect” for renewable generation in the inter-connected Luzon and Visayas electricity markets.

    Opportunities for Pumped Hydro Energy Storage in Australia
    Hearps, P ; Dargaville, R ; MCCONNELL, D ; Sandiford, M ; Forcey, T ; Seligman, P (Melbourne Energy Institue, 2014-02-27)
    Pumped hydroelectricity energy storage (PHES) is by far the most significant form of large-­‐scale energy storage in use around the world today with approximately 130 GW of generation capacity installed. PHES facility construction is resurging globally as evolving electricity supply systems place greater value on stored energy. Australia has approximately 1.5 GW of PHES capacity; however, no large-­‐scale facilities have been installed in the last 30 years. This paper examines opportunities for the construction of additional large-­‐scale PHES facilities in Australia.
