South Australian Renewable Electricity Supply3Sources of Renewable Energy Generation in South AustraliaIntroductionThere are both renewable and non-renewable sources of electricity generation in Southern Australia. A renewable source of energy depletion is the one that replenishes fast upon consumption; the supply does not deplete from consumption. On the other hand, a non-renewable source depletes with consumption since the replenish rate is low; this means that supply is limited. These sources contributes with varying proportion to electricity in the market. This paper shall determine both of these sources and also determine their proportion of contribution in the market. There is increase need for a shift to renewable sources of energy (Zahar, Peel & Godden, 2013).One of the most important renewable source of energy to be covered in this paper is the Lithium ion battery. The introduction of this storage of lithium ion Battery will have a positive impact on the supply for electricity in Australia. The paper will elaborate such changes and will discuss the need for the government to support this venture. The paper tells us that this supply will increase the proportion of contribution for the renewable sources in the future. We shall also identify the potential change in price of electricity in the market after the complete integration of this storage system.Renewable and Non-renewable sources of Energy generationSome of the South Australian sources of renewable energy generation includes solar and wind; the solar energy is obtained from the rooftops by the use of solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems (Sa.gov.au, 2017). These solar system are dependent on sunlight; the number of South Australian households who have installed the solar rooftop PVs are more than 200,000. The electricity produced through these systems is used by the households and the excess is sent to main electricity grid. The South Australian wind farms are dependent on wind and when wind is strong there is an increased generation of electricity for the customers.Some of the South Australian sources of non-renewable energy generation includes natural gas and diesel. The main source on non-renewable source is the natural gas where approximately 60% of the total South Australian natural gas is used for electricity generation. The supply that is obtained from power stations that are fired by diesel is relatively small. The stations are small are mostly are in operation only during the period of peak demand for electricity.
