The Energy in WA Conference is the State’s premier energy event, offering excellent speaker programs and value for money since 1996.

The 2017 theme is The new energy cycle: Opportunity, Innovation & Change. Speakers will assess the state of play on a range of energy matters, such as fuels, technology, market and legislative developments, supply and security, emissions, and consumer trends while looking to the future. Delegates can look forward to thoughtful sector analysis and a “think tank”approach to panel discussions.

Proudly hosted by the Australian Institute of Energy (Perth branch) and the Department of Finance, Public Utilities Office (Government of Western Australia), the highly popular conference is organised by the local energy industry for the local energy industry.

Prominent state, national and international speakers are chosen to provide new perspectives on current events and topics relevant to the Western Australia energy sector.

The event provides excellent networking opportunities, with more than 200 participants attending the 2016 Conference.

Informa Australia is delighted to announce the forthcoming Pumped Hydro Energy Storage conference. At a pivotal time for the energy market in Australia, the recent announcement that the Federal Government is looking to develop a $2 billion expansion of the Snowy Hydro scheme has brought to the forefront of debate the potential for pumped hydro solutions. In addition to this the Federal Government’s recent announcement of funding a $450,000 grant to Energy Australia to develop a pumped hydro energy storage project in South Australia, has certainly raised the profile of the potential for this technology to be rolled out.

Bringing together key experts in this rapidly changing field, this will be a unique event at which to explore the opportunities for future growth.

The AS 2067:2016 High Voltage Standard provides minimum requirements for the design and installation of high voltages above 1kV (ac) so as to provide appropriate safety and performance over the assets entire life.

High voltage installations can range from a substation, auxiliary systems, interconnecting cables/lines and naturally the user’s facilities such a plant, factory, office facility and mine site. Equipment includes switchgear, transformers, converters, cables, lines, batteries, earthing systems, capacitors, reactors, buildings and structures.

Most sections of AS 2067 have changed and this workshop will focus on those changes related to earthing. The earthing section has being considerably amended and expanded to cover all industry sectors, including mining, which previously relied on AS/NZ 3007.

This workshop will work through the earthing changes in detail starting from why change was required, through what the changes really mean, and importantly, what each workshop participant should be changing or doing to meet the new obligations. Significant changes were also made to sections on access areas and protection against fire and explosions and these will be given a brief overview.
Who should attend:
• Substation engineers and technicians
• Generation, transmission engineers and technicians
• Electrical engineers, technicians and electricians
• maintenance engineers and asset managers
• plant, project and design engineers
• Industrial organisations with high HV electrical distribution
• Engineering and safety managers
• Government safety regulators/inspectors
• Network, protection and distribution engineers and technicians
• Risk assessors
• maintenance specialists
• Earthing specialists
And all other engineering professionals who have an interest in HV design, standards, installations, operations and maintenance.

The all new conference for Vibration Analysts & Condition Monitoring Professionals

IMVAC (International Machine Vibration Analysis Conference) is designed specifically for vibration and condition monitoring professionals. From workshops, learning sessions and case studies to the latest technologies featured in the expo, the conference provides practical learning in the important aspects of industrial vibration analysis and the complementary condition monitoring technologies (Thermography, Wear Particle, Oil Analysis, Motor Testing, Ultrasound, Lubrication, Shaft Alignment and Field Testing).

It is our aim to help you form new relationships with your fellow reliability improvement practitioners, and provide you with the actionable new skills and knowledge that you can take back to the plant to help you deliver even greater value.

See the agenda –

Who should attend:

Vibration Analysts, Condition Monitoring Professionals, Program Managers and Overall Industry Professionals

This event has been developed to build and accelerate the knowledge of industry employees and business owners on best practice when it comes to the design, installation and maintenance of renewable hybrid systems. The main goal of this conference is to help businesses take advantage of cleaner energy through improving the quality of their power generation systems. The event will have a technical focus, covering key design, implementation, and operational considerations for solar/diesel hybrid and battery systems including installation and maintenance. Also covered will be the hurdles encountered when introducing solar to an existing diesel power system, retrofitting, and the importance of maintaining consistent electricity.

The conference features a full day workshop on “Designing Stand-Alone Power Systems” presented by Glen Morris of SolarQuip, plus 8 x 45 minute presentations on the following topics:
• Building the Autonomous Grid
• Tipperary Station Case Study – Solar-Diesel Generator System in the Northern Territory
• Hybrid System Using Innovative Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Technology for Pumping Water
• Stand Alone Power Systems Incorporating Solar, Diesel and Vanadium Flow Batteries
• Innovative Solar/Wind-Diesel Hybrid Energy Systems
• Hybrid Systems: The Future of Energy Stability
• Remote Battery Based Power Systems
• Local WA Case Studies – Single Wire Earth Return, Electric Cars, Clouds and Solar Generation

All-Energy Conference: The Future of Energy

All-Energy Australia is Australia’s biggest and highest quality clean and renewable energy conference. Free to attend, the conference features over 200 industry speakers across 7 session streams over two days.

In 2016 our conference agenda focused around the core themes of energy storage, the emerging smart grid, and energy efficiency, offering unparalleled content in all three areas.

Innovation was also at the fore of discussion – exploring cutting edge local and global technology developments. Growing investment in the industry is also at the top of discussion, featuring the most major local project updates, high level opportunities for networking and discussion around fostering investment in Australian renewable and clean energy technologies and projects.

All-Energy 2016 again boasted the sector’s most comprehensive solar energy centred conference program, including the Clean Energy Council’s CPD accredited Professional Development day and ATRAA program.  Major Australian and international wind developments will also be on show, with keynote presentations from The Hon Peter Rae AO, President of the World Wind Association and CWP Renewables.
