  The HELM algorithm was used in this project to solve the optimal power flow
problem introduced by a radial PandaPower network formulated from the data
given by AEMO on the NEM network. Large losses were observed in the
transmission infrastructure surrounding base-load power plants. These losses
were not observed in areas that had a higher percentage of renewable power
generation. Furthermore, the voltage levels present at the Hydro and Wind farms
across Tasmania and South Australia were found to be stable in their steady
state. A distributed network of renewable infrastructure is then proposed as a
solution to the issues facing the NEM network.
