As bifacial modules proliferate, estimations of albedo are becoming more important and with developers not prepared to install weather stations to assess solar resource, a popular option has become third-party, on-site measurements over periods as short as a day. Is this an acceptable compromise between costly on-site measuring and less accurate satellite data? Everoze’s Stefan Mau discusses the potential benefits and limitations of this approach.
Multiple factors affect the productive lifespan of a residential solar inverter. In Part 2 of our series, we look at solar inverters.
Western Australia clean energy developer Frontier Energy has been granted $215 million in debt finance for its Waroona Renewable Energy Project south of Perth, from specialist infrastructure fund Infradebt.
Victorian transmission infrastructure operator VicGrid has identified over half the state as having potential to host future renewable energy developments, as outlined in its draft Victorian Transmission Plan guidelines.
The owner of a 360 MW solar farm and 600 MWh battery energy storage project being developed near Mortlake in southwest Victoria said it has received grid connection approval that paves the way for the next stage of development.
The latest quarterly report from the country’s energy market operator shows the role of batteries in supporting demand peaks in the National Electricity Market is on the rise, with average generation in those periods more than doubling since the same time last year.
Australia’s leadership in hybrid solar and battery energy storage solutions features prominently in a new whitepaper released by global energy company Hitachi Energy, which examines trends and technology solutions for more modular and distributed networks.
Western Australia has locked in federal government funding to build a minimum 6.5 TWh of large-scale solar and wind projects and 1.1 GW of new storage to help ensure the electricity grid remains stable as the state continues its renewable energy transition.
The Australian arm of Philippines-based energy company Acen Corporation has launched the approvals process for a major grid-connected solar and battery energy storage project to be built near the town of Cooma in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains region.
Larger wafer and module sizes have had a profound influence on module power output in recent years but standardisation appears to have taken hold, with no further increases evident in module data, according to Molly Morgan, a senior research analyst at Exawatt, which is now part of the CRU Group.
