\nA 1 MWh vanadium flow \/ lithium-ion hybrid energy storage system is now operational at Monash University’s Clayton campus in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

According to system supplier RedT, it’s the largest behind-the-meter C&I (Commercial & Industrial) energy storage system to be installed in Australia and the first of its type globally.<\/p>\n

The installation is comprised of 900kWh of vanadium flow batteries<\/a> (or “flow machines” as RedT calls them) and a 120kW C1-rated lithium-ion battery.\u00a0 RedT says using a combination of the technologies maximises their individual strengths – lithium-ion’s ability to deliver high power for short periods and a flow battery’s workhorse attributes.<\/p>\n

“Combined, the flow machine can act as the \u2018workhorse\u2019, doing ~80% of the work each day, whilst the lithium element can be used infrequently to provide the final ~20% of the power requirements.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The system has been installed on the roof of the University\u2019s Biomedical Learning and Teaching Building at the Clayton campus. Working with multiple sources including a 1 MW array of solar panels at the campus, it forms part of the Monash Microgrid currently being deployed at Clayton.<\/p>\n

RedT says its partnership with Monash University will demonstrate the economic benefits of decentralised, flexible, energy storage infrastructure solutions at C&I scale.<\/p>\n

In October last year, Monash University announced it will be fully powered by renewable energy<\/a> by 2030 through a $135 million project called the Net Zero Initiative, which the microgrid is an element of.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) announced<\/a> it was partnering with Monash University and technology partner Indra Australia<\/a> on the microgrid project, providing $2.97 million to support the Clayton trial.<\/p>\n

“The project will use Monash University as a \u2018living laboratory\u2019 that will help universities form their own microgrids and take control of their energy usage,” said<\/a> ARENA CFO Ian Kay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By the end of 2020, the university will also complete its biggest solar rollout, at which point it will be generating 7 GWh of electricity from solar panels annually. What the University can’t source from on-site solar power by 2030 in order to meets its 100% renewable energy goal, it will acquire from off-site renewables.<\/p>\n

Clayton campus, established in 1958, is Monash’s biggest campus globally, educating more than 30,000 students each year. Eight faculties are represented on campus: Arts, Business and Economics, Education, Engineering, Information Technology, Law, Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
