On its first full day of operation, solar energy offset nearly 90% of the Roseworthy campus\u2019s electrical load &#8211; but this occurred during mid-semester break. The system is expected to generate an average of 42% of the campus\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot to power at Roseworthy &#8211; including animal hospitals, teaching labs, lecture theatres and offices, research facilities and student housing. A generation forecast wasn&#8217;t provided, but at a rough estimate a 1.2MW PV system installed in Roseworthy could crank around 5,130 kilowatt-hours a day; or 1,873,125 kilowatt-hours annually.<\/p>\n<h2>A &#8220;Living Laboratory&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to supporting the goals of the University&#8217;s Campus Sustainability Plan, there will also be a wide range of research opportunities associated with the project.<\/p>\n<p>Among them is observing how the two battery technologies perform in very hot conditions. It&#8217;s the perfect spot to do so as it can get rather toasty at Roseworthy during the summer months &#8211; on January 24 2019, the temperature reached 48.3\u00b0C. Tesla says its Powerpack (and also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/tesla-powerwall-2-review.html\">Powerwall<\/a>) battery system is designed to withstand operating ambient temperatures up to 50\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Other research opportunities include energy management, grid segregation, low-cost fault detection systems, system resilience and cybersecurity. Professor Wayne Hein, Dean of the Roseworthy campus, <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.adelaide.edu.au\/news\/list\/2021\/05\/21\/roseworthy-solar-project-powers-up\">said<\/a> different aspects of the project could be incorporated into many courses &#8211; everything from engineering and space through to environmental science.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Roseworthy Solar Farm is not just a project that delivers 42% of the Roseworthy energy load and helps us reduce our carbon emissions,&#8221; said Libby Hogarth, Sustainable Development Planner. &#8220;This project is really the embodiment of the living laboratory concept. This is where we bring together our researchers, our campus community and the infrastructure branch to deliver a project on our campus that supports all of us.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Adelaide officially opened a $7 million solar and energy storage project at its Roseworthy campus last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":50610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Roseworthy Solar and Energy Storage Project Fully Operational<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The University of Adelaide officially opened a $7 million solar and energy storage project at its Roseworthy campus last week.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/roseworthy-solar-storage-mb2008\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Roseworthy Solar and Energy Storage Project Fully Operational\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The University of Adelaide officially opened a $7 million solar and energy storage project at its Roseworthy campus last week.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/roseworthy-solar-storage-mb2008\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-24T21:25:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-10-01T04:55:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/university-roseworthy-solar.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/roseworthy-solar-storage-mb2008\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/roseworthy-solar-storage-mb2008\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Roseworthy Solar and Energy Storage Project Fully Operational\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-05-24T21:25:55+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-01T04:55:46+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/roseworthy-solar-storage-mb2008\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":516,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/roseworthy-solar-storage-mb2008\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/05\\\/university-roseworthy-solar.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
