Future Power System Security Program

The Future Power System Security Program (FPSSP) was established in 2015 with the aim of identifying opportunities for, and challenges to, power system security that could arise in the long term (nominally a 10-year outlook) and promote solutions as soon as practicable where appropriate.

The program explored a number of areas – including frequency control, fault levels (system strength), system restart, emerging technologies (including DER), standards, modelling and tools, and market information – to constructively inform what actions may be required by AEMO and the industry to provide for the continued efficient management and secure operation of the power system of the future.

AEMO is now pursuing the objectives of this work program through multiple work programs, including but not limited to the Renewable Integration Study, the Integrated System Plan, and the DER Program.
