Distribution substation data can help you define the right energy solution type and size for your project or research. For a community energy project, the most common and useful data types are listed below.
| Data | Description | Where to get this data | Data format | How to use this data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Distribution substation load profile | This includes a Low Voltage (LV) network map with the locations of all our distribution substations and the load profile data where there are 10 or more customers. | AusNet GridView | CSV file of distribution substation load profile. | Provides insights into the electricity usage patterns of customers connected to each substation and variation in electrical demand over time. |
| Outage information | Summary of outages for the network feeder, including: • unplanned and planned outages • momentary feeder outages. |
AusNet Services’ Annual Reporting RIN (Regulatory Information Notice) data on the AER (Australian Energy Regulator) website. | CSV file of outage data. | To understand the community’s challenges, so a suitable energy solution can be selected that reduces power outages (where applicable). |
| Zone substation load profile. | This includes a High Voltage (HV) network map and various line locations (e.g. 66kV to 6.6kV line). | AusNet - Rosetta Data Portal (ausnetservices.com.au) | CSV file of zone substation load profile | To understand the load profile of the zone substation so you can define the size of the energy solution required. |
