Plans accepted for greatest battery storage system in Victoria
Australian solar and currently storage programmer, Maoneng, claimed on Wednesday that the $190 million Mornington battery energy storage system (BESS) had actually received development authorization as well as was on track for completion in mid-2023.
The standalone BESS will be located alongside AusNet's existing Tyabb substation, regarding 67km east of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, where Maoneng says is will certainly satisfy fluctuations in demand driven by seasonal tourist.
Maoneng states the Mornington battery will attract as well as keep energy from the grid during off-peak durations and also dispatch it back to the grid during times of peak need, producing power for the matching of 40,000 average Australian homes.
When constructed, the Mornington BESS is on track to presume the mantle of the greatest grid-connected battery in Victoria, exceeding Neoen's 300MW/450MWh Victorian Big Battery, near Geelong which kicked right into full equipment in the initial week of December, 2021.
Yet it is unlikely to hold that title for long, with new and also progressively big storage projects emerging in the state's development pipe regularly. One of these, a substantial hybrid renewables as well as storage project proposed last year by UK-based RES for near Stawell, is slated to consist of a 400MW/1200MWh big battery.
And simply last month, Australia's Syncline Energy introduced plans for a 600MW, four-hour battery storage facility in Victoria, once again upping the ante over what may be the greatest battery project in the state, or perhaps the nation.
Syncline suggests the 600MW/2,400 MWh Melton Renewable Energy Hub to be located next to the Sydenham terminal station owned and also run by network firm Ausnet, where it will link right into the state's main 500kV transmission foundation.
For the Mornington BESS, Maoneng says the following step is to lock in an engineering, purchase, as well as construction professional-- a decision the business wishes to reveal in coming weeks.
" The Mornington BESS will certainly be an important piece of regional facilities that will certainly profit the local economic climate in a number of means," stated Maoneng co-founder and CEO Morris Zhou, in a declaration on Wednesday.
" It will aid secure the network as well as manage durations of peak demand when regional companies and households actually require trustworthy electrical energy.
" There are also commercial possibilities throughout building and construction, as well as extra work with the supply chain will begin quickly as our service provider comes on board and also starts the procedure of hiring people, firms and also devices providers as the project rises to speed."
Maoneng's Australian portfolio includes nearly 300MW of solar capacity from the Sunraysia Solar Farm in NSW and the Mugga Lane Solar Park in the ACT.
The firm is likewise in the process of constructing greater than 1,800 MWh of utility-scale battery energy storage system projects throughout Australia, including the Gould Creek Battery Energy Storage System, north-east of Adelaide in South Australia.
That project, which safeguarded state advancement authorization in October last year, will certainly be sized at a 225MW/450MWh, offering 2 hrs storage and outdoing the recently expanded Hornsdale Power Reserve-- Australia's initial big battery-- which is currently rated at 150MW/194MWh.
Various other recently introduced big battery plans for Victoria consist of the Hazelwood Battery-- a 150MW/150MWh center being recommended by French energy giant Engie and Macquarie's Green Investment Group at the site of the currently closed brownish coal generator.
Building and construction has actually currently begun on that particular project, which will be built and maintained over a 20-year period by US-based Fluence, utilizing-- for the first time in Australia-- its sixth-generation Gridstack product as well as its AI-enabled bidding system.
AGL has prepare for a 200MW/800MWh battery at the site of its Loy Yang A brownish coal generator, and also Tilt (now had by PowAR) is looking at a similar sized battery in other places in the Latrobe Valley, as is EnergyAustralia, which is talking of a 350MW/1,400 MWh big battery to help replace the Yallourn generator.
