Client: Syncline Energy / Delaware North
CTP Scope:
Construction Design and Hybrid Grid Box Supply
Timeframe:
-
Detailed Design – Oct-2015
-
Commissioning – Dec-2015
Project Goal:
Offsetting polluting and expensive electricity produced by diesel generators through the integration of clean and economic solar PV generation.
Project Challenges:
Remote Location (No mobile reception): The Grid Box scope included extensive testing and commissioning with the diesel generator units prior to dispatch.
Project Results:
The installed system can dispatch the diesel gensets as required to minimise imported energy costs and provide backup generation. The hybrid system uses both solar and local diesel gensets to reduce reliance on an expensive microgrid in a remote location.
