Vena Energy-Australia has actually named Doosan GridTech as its design, procurement, and also construction (EPC) companion to develop Queensland's biggest energy storage space system. This battery energy storage space system (BESS) will certainly play a significant function in improving grid security and also supporting the state's shift to renewable resource.

Found near Wandoan in the state's southwest area, the BESS will have a discharge capacity of 100 MW and also provide 150 MWh-- enough to supply power for 57,000 homes.

" As our initial grid-scale energy storage project, the Wandoan South BESS in South West Queensland needed an EPC partner that carries Doosan's competence depth and also market reliability," claimed Anil Nangia, Head of Vena Energy-Australia. "We check out Doosan as a lasting companion who shares our wishes to speed up the transition to renewable resource in the Asia-Pacific region and to enhance neighborhood economic climates and neighborhoods."

Doosan's layout of among the biggest battery systems in Australia features:

  • a tailor-maked battery building that will effectively manage the safety and security, security, as well as ambient temperature level control for more than 20,000 lithium-ion batteries;
  • Doosan's sophisticated control as well as surveillance software program to run the plant's energy monitoring system as well as allow the BESS' engagement in the secondary service market;
  • the capability to convert to battery/solar hybrid control for future system advancement.

" We are honoured that Vena Energy has picked Doosan to provide Queensland's largest battery energy storage space system as the nation enters a renaissance of renewable resource services," stated Adrian Marziano, General Manager, Doosan GridTech- Australia. "The Wandoan South BESS stands for a large action in building our momentum to provide high megawatt grid-scale battery storage space systems.

" Again, we are demonstrating that competitively priced turnkey systems released alongside advanced and also flexible control systems are winning suggestions for global sustainable programmers. Complete delivery supplies simplicity of purchase as well as a higher level of short-term risk management. Advanced and upgradable software application guarantees long-lasting danger management in the form of flexibility for technology alternatives and adaptation to satisfy future grid requirements."

Doosan's Intelligent Controller (DG-IC) will certainly be the operating software application system of the Wandoan South BESS. It is one of the initial storage space control systems improved open common interfaces as well as is custom-made to satisfy the Australian transmission system's rigorous requirements. The DG-IC is the innovative knowledge of a BESS system created to supply fast action versus complicated routines and operating settings while making certain that power quality is kept.
