DEAKIN University
Deakin University has developed an industrial-scale microgrid: a 14.5 hectare solar energy farm with a 1 megawatt central battery. The project integrates rooftop solar panels and smaller batteries across the Waurn Ponds campus.
The Renewable Energy Microgrid consists of a 7 megawatt solar energy farm and storage system, a 0.25 megawatt distributed rooftop solar generation and storage system, and an associated research centre.
Now operational, the Microgrid provides substantial returns through research, teaching and learning opportunities, and assists Deakin to achieve its aspiration to be carbon neutral by 2030.
