Generation Signalling Device (GSD) using AFLC signals

Supervisor

The proposed project involves the design and development of a prototype Generation Signalling Device (GSD) intended for use within Queensland electricity distribution networks operated by Ergon Energy and Energex. Ergon and Energex manage grid stability by transmitting Audio Frequency Load Control (AFLC) ripple control signals superimposed on the mains supply to initiate load shedding and generation control. In solar photovoltaic systems, a GSD functions as an interface device that detects these AFLC signals and communicates corresponding shutdown or control commands to a connected inverter to assist in maintaining network balance. The project is being run under the aegis of the IoT stream of EE4500 2026 Block 2.
