The University of Adelaide has been awarded project funding to better understand the use of battery energy storage in Australian conditions, which has major implications for the future use of renewable energy.
The project – valued at more than $3 million – is expected to benefit industry, government and the community, and places the University at the forefront of energy storage expertise.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) on Wednesday announced $1.4 million in support for the project, to be led by Associate Professor Nesimi Ertugrul in the University’s Centre for Energy Technology and School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering.
Associate Professor Ertugrul has 30 years of research experience in power electronics. His team will develop a mobile testing unit which can travel around Australia to test the technical performance of battery energy storage systems under real as well as simulated electrical load conditions. As part of the project the team will also develop a publicly accessible database for Australian energy storage expertise.
This is another example of an exciting project that ARI is proud to have been involved in.
