Roseworthy campus – University of Adelaide<\/p><\/div>\n

Work commenced yesterday at the University of Adelaide\u2019s Roseworthy campus on a solar farm with battery storage that will form part of a microgrid.<\/p>\n

The 1.2MW solar energy facility will incorporate a 420kw\/1200kWh hybrid energy storage element – a combination of lithium-ion and vanadium flow batteries1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

This will be the University’s first embedded microgrid and improve emergency back-up facilities for Roseworthy campus.<\/p>\n

Energy, Education And Research<\/h2>\n

In addition to providing more than 40% of Roseworthy campus electricity requirements and slashing energy related emissions, the facility will be an important educational and research tool.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe solar farm will be a \u2018living laboratory\u2019 for students and researchers, with access to time-lapse recording of the construction, building plans and data systems for remote-energy management, energy storage and load flex,” said<\/a> University of Adelaide Chief Operating Officer Bruce Lines. \u201cOur researchers will utilise the solar farm and battery storage systems for projects including\u00a0energy management strategies, grid segregation, low-cost fault detection systems, system resilience, and cybersecurity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Several research projects associated with the energy storage system will be conducted each year for three years. Some of the research will involve testing the performance and reliability of the battery technology used in the hot, dry conditions Roseworthy often experiences during summer (for example, it reached 47.2C in Roseworthy on January 24).<\/p>\n

The $7 million project has been assisted with a $780,000 grant\u00a0from the South Australian Renewable Technology Fund and is expected to be operational by May next year.<\/p>\n

Roseworthy Solar Farm is the eighth solar project the University has undertaken under its Campus Sustainability Plan<\/a>, which set a goal of 2MW of solar PV installed on-site by 2020. In related energy efficiency efforts, campus buildings are being refurbished with more efficient mechanical and electrical systems, taking into consideration asset life-cycle and potential savings that could be realised through early replacement of assets.<\/p>\n

Roseworthy campus has been generating electricity from solar power for some years. Other installations include a 30kW system at its Equine Centre installed in 2012 and another 30kW system installed at the Vet School in 2014.<\/p>\n

Located 50 kilometres north of Adelaide’s central business district and 7 kilometres west of the township of Roseworthy<\/a>, the campus has its roots in Roseworthy Agricultural College, which was the first agricultural college in Australia (est. 1883). Roseworthy campus is home to South Australia’s only veterinary school and teaching hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
