SA Power Networks first established its Network Innovation Centre in 2012 in response to significant disruptive changes that had become apparent in the electricity industry.  The objective of the centre was to provide a facility in which to understand, trial and test new technologies that could impact on our industry and customers in the immediate and mid-term future.
 
Since that time, SA Power Networks’ responses to these technology trends have been more fully developed and it has become apparent that the centre could also provide an opportunity to inform and educate the company’s stakeholders as to the implications of new technologies and the strategies being pursued to position and adapt as they become more widespread.  On that basis, the centre has been expanded to incorporate a wide range displays, and tours are being provided to key stakeholders wanting to better understand where the future of the electricity network might be heading, and the role that customers, SA Power Networks and other key stakeholders may play in that future.
 
The centre incorporates both network side and customer side technologies and includes a section of distribution network that can be viewed close-up as well as a ‘smart house’ which integrates solar PV, battery storage, and a home energy management system with a range of traditional appliances.  Smart meters and an electric vehicle are also on display.
