Learn what Frequency Control Ancillary Services are, why FCAS matters for grid stability and how SATEC metering supports accurate energy monitoring.

Understand what FCAS reform means for embedded networks, large loads and behind the meter assets plus how SATEC metering supports smarter energy decisions.

Discover how advanced power metering enables Australian BESS operators to maximise revenue in contingency FCAS markets amid market saturation. Essential insights for grid stability compliance and revenue stacking.

When discussing energy systems, particularly in the context of the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), the terms resolution and accuracy play crucial roles in ensuring the stability and reliability of the grid.

In the modern world, where electricity is an essential part of everyday life, the stability and reliability of power systems are of paramount importance. One crucial aspect of maintaining a stable power grid is ensuring the balance between electricity supply and demand.

Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) is becoming the standard for market participation in a modern Australian electricity network.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming an important component in the modern electric network. These systems are often combined on-site with renewable energy sources for storing energy during peak production or low demand, and releasing the stored energy during peak demand.

SATEC’s recent release of the PRO series of Energy and Power Quality Metering, brings together current technology for a compact design for an all in powerful effective line of power meters for advanced power applications, including waveform recording and AC/DC power metering.
