Having a network and technology startup work with three separate universities\u2019 in computer science, social science and economics means not only can we develop a technical solution, but an economic and social one as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second is the Network Aware Coordination algorithm and how it is a technical demonstration of orchestration that optimises network and customer value. This algorithm allows networks to simultaneously and automatically manage multiple network issues while preserving customer privacy and choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe third is our social science team participating as the voice of the customer and having their own dedicated research objectives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd fourthly, the trial foreshadows the future of distribution network operation with customers wanting more control and choice around the way they use electricity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Energy Networks Australia CEO, Andrew Dillon, said\u00a0\u201cTasNetworks has shown how to carry out smart coordination of solar and batteries, which has large economic and environmental benefits by allowing more renewable energy to connect, increasing grid stability and opening new markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1011\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1011\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1011\" src=\"http:\/\/brunybatterytrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ena_award_presentation_with_minister.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brunybatterytrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ena_award_presentation_with_minister.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brunybatterytrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ena_award_presentation_with_minister-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brunybatterytrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ena_award_presentation_with_minister-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1011\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TasNetworks CEO Lance Balcombe receives the award from\u00a0Federal Energy Minister, the Hon.
