The stats for June. As promised, some juicy new stats added - the renewable percentage is additionally split out for daytime and night - meaning when solar production is not zero, and zero, respectively. The calculation is done correctly on the basis of total power generated in MWh in each period, so takes into account that power generation during nighttime hours is considerably less than during daytime hours, because overnight demand is less.
The ratio between the nighttime and daytime renewable percentages is also provided as “diurnal renewable hardness”. A ratio of 1.0 means that renewable generation is consistent between daytime and night. A ratio of 0.0 means renewable generation only occurs during daytime hours. Obviously, the closer that ratio is to 1.00 the better. TAS, SA and VIC win the prize on this score, and QLD the wooden spoon (by a long way) since QLD is way too reliant on solar and needs to beef up its wind generation,
big time.
