Research Priorities

AEMO has developed Research Priorities to inform the research community of specific research challenges facing AEMO in our role in enabling net-zero energy systems.

AEMO’s research interests span a wide range of areas related to the operation of electricity and gas systems and markets, from immediate practical challenges of secure system operation with high penetration of renewables to fundamental research questions and longer-term challenges. AEMO has a long history of collaborating with the Australian research community, including several active projects with CSIRO and Australian and international universities, as well as research funding bodies such as ARENA. We believe that enhancing our research partnerships will deliver more opportunities to assist our efforts to navigate the energy future, one of AEMO’s four strategic priorities.

Documented below, AEMO’s initial Research Priorities are supported by two important AEMO innovation initiatives, the Engineering Roadmap which prioritises near term critical engineering actions and AEMO’s participation in the International System Operators Network (ISON) which provides a knowledge sharing platform with international System Operators.
