Key features

Integrated learning

Covers rooftop solar, batteries, EVs and flexible demand technologies within the Australian NEM context.

Evidence-based insights

Draws on recent modelling, ARENA-funded projects and real-world trials shaping CER integration in Australia.

Systems perspective

Examines how CER interacts with networks, markets and policy frameworks—helping you understand the broader system impacts beyond individual technologies.

Learning outcomes

Building CER integration capability

On completion, participants will have a clear understanding of CER technologies, compliance standards and integration challenges within the Australian NEM. They will be better equipped to assess network measures, flexible demand strategies and policy implications supporting higher levels of CER penetration and Australia’s low-carbon transition.

What you'll learn

Participants will learn how different CER assets operate, how installation configurations affect performance and curtailment and how standards such as AS/NZS 4777.2 and CSIP-AUS govern compliance. The course also explores flexible demand, dynamic operating envelopes and emerging network measures supporting high CER penetration in the Australian NEM.
