Our Stage 5 Interim Summary Report and Interim Stage 5 reports below provide an update on the progress of Australia’s Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Roadmap which was launched in 2022. In 2025, the G-PST initiative evolved and, in Australia, now operates under the lead of CSIRO and AEMO as the Australian Research in Power Systems Transition (AR-PST).
Development of the Roadmap represented Stage 1 work which outlined a research path across nine key topics on preparing a power system that provides secure and reliable operation during the energy transition to a decarbonised electrical grid with high penetration of renewables.
AR-PST Stage 5 Interim Reports by topic:
- Topic 1-1 – Inverter Design
- Topic 1-2 – Converter Design Standards
- Topic 2 – Stability Tools
- Topic 3 – Control Room of the Future
- Topic 4 – Power System Planning
- Topic 5-1 – System Restoration and Black Start - simulations
- Topic 5-2 – System Restoration and Black Start - laboratory demonstration
- Topic 6-1 – System Services - Protection
- Topic 6-2 – Essential System Services - Flexible Demand
- Topic 8 – Distributed Energy Resources
- Topic 9-1 – DER/CER and Stability
- Topic 9-2 – Electric Vehicle Cybersecurity Interim Report
