Powering forward with improved supply resilience and #energymarket access for commercial and industrial sites - On 23/12, the year culminated for @PowerTecES with @Chargefox's Goulburn #evcharging station microgrid integrating with @HydroTasmania’s bidding engine.

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

Australia's "most advanced service station", the humble Goulburn station, only gets a brief mention here. But is it the pilot for the servo of the future: ultra-fast #evcharging, autonomous #power, energy services with advanced #Battery tech (@PowerTecES)? https://t.co/YTyOheJ58D

@PowerTecES staff demonstrate the microgrid emulator and programmable loads system recently installed at the DER-Lab! The DER-Lab is a joint project between @ITP, @AnuGrid, @UNSWCanberra and @Evoenergy, and is funded by the @actgovernment under its Priority Investment Program.

How to unlock the value of commercial #battery #energystorage: @PowerTecES' PowerCache, the swiss army knife of the #powergrid, usually provides #evehicle charge power, but when time and capacity allow, it delivers #energy market services (here: @Chargefox station, Torquay).

[PowerTec ES @PowerTecES]

The @PowerTecES PowerCache® grid-side #community #batteries, pole-mounted in @UnitedEnergyAU's distribution network at two Melbourne Bayside locations feature in @EnergyNetworkAu's new Network Innovation Report 2021 (https://t.co/Oj2TgTXYI4).

Another use case for the smart #batteryenergystorage system PowerCache® by @PowerTecES: As part of a new #microgrid at the @BeerenbergFarm, it will reduce the site #power demand, store #solar #energy, and provide uninterrupted #backuppower. Project & image credit: Westside Group.

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

The Budget service station must have been the only one selling petrol in Goulburn last night: #powergrid consumers in the area lost supply. The @PowerTecES PowerCache® #batteryenergystorage system (supporting @Chargefox EV charging) supplied the station #power on its own for 2h.

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

Recharge your #battery along Great Ocean Road! The @PowerTecES Powercache® #Battery system at the RACV resort, Torquay has started regular operation. It rides the waves of power demand and #pvsolar generation, adding resilience to the site #powergrid and saving #energy cost.

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

@PowerTecES is concluding factory testing of 2 PowerCache® 250kVA-270kWh BESSs, one for EV charging, one for industrial power. For 2 days, they run on a microgrid and assume all kinds of functions for each other. If you/ your customer are in for a demo, please contact us.

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

Community batteries have already proven to be more efficient, more robust, and easier to be aggregated for market services than residential ones. And the rule change for community network use is on the way. See @PowerTecES PowerCache for @UnitedEnergyAU .

These pole-mounted batteries are designed by PowerTec in Melbourne, same company that's made some of our stationary batteries

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

Charging a fleet of @Audioffical e-trons with up to 350kW at the @Chargefox station in Goulburn on a skinny (110kW) service station feeder - is that magic? No, power and a stable network are quietly provided by a @PowerTecES #PowerCache #BatteryStorage system in the background.

Spot the @AudiOfficial e-tron at our ultra-rapid station in Goulburn 🙌

The second test was a success! Just had to dial the breaker up a touch and it's all working perfectly now. 300kW charge session delivered through a 100kW grid connection (plus a 250kW state of the art battery)

[@[email protected] @evcricket]

This is the battery trace of the second event, much more detail.
Green is load
Red is grid
Blue is battery power
Red is 3p grid voltage
Aqua is battery state of charge.
1740-1755 one car charging at 150kW
1755 the second plugs in and power rises to >300kW

There's a lot going on.

#WorkTweet: We're doing shakedowns on our Goulburn battery at the moment, and had a robust test on Friday; two [redacted] cars charged simultaneously at 150kW each, and the battery stretched its legs. A thread, starting with some battery background https://t.co/OQDqLvwkTD

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

@PowerTecES PowerCache #battery as EV charging power buffer, #electricity market services enabler, site back-up power system, network support system and provider of all sorts of other cool energy functions.

[@[email protected] @evcricket]

Not obvious to the casual observer, but this is the most technically advanced petrol station in Australia right now. 750kW of EV charging, 250kW/273kWh of battery storage and all sorts of other cool electrical hardware.

[Michael Jansen @Michaelrjansen]

Commercial-scale batteries deliver benefits to the owner (thanks @Chargefox), the energy company (@HydroTasmania), the network, and the site operator (Goulburn Budget Petrol Station) - all at once! @PowerTecES PowerCache 250kW/270kWh BESS during commissioning.
