Abstract :
The paper describes a case study of the regional impact on the grid of wind and solar generation sources over three days due to a passing weather system. Estimated changes of wind and solar output over a 150 km long and 100 km wide region as well as at local levels were made. The area chosen covered the coast and adjacent ranges around Sydney, being an area where roof-top solar could potentially be greatest and wind power would be most likely concentrated in the future.
