Presentation title
From Control to Coordination through Distributed Intelligence
Presentation summary
As consumer energy resources (CER) scale across Australia, the core challenge is no longer deployment but coordination. Millions of solar, battery and EV assets can now both consume and supply energy, yet market structures remain largely centralised. This presentation explores how distributed intelligence can balance supply and demand more efficiently than traditional command and control models. This session will examine how dynamic pricing, export signals and retailer-led orchestration can unlock flexibility, reduce system costs and deliver lower prices for all consumers while also strengthening social license for renewables.
