Context:

The Parkridge Noosa residential site comprises a combination of townhouses, apartments, and community buildings. From the outset of the project Energex imposed a maximum limit of power they could draw from the grid. This limit was below the maximum demand expected for the site, so they needed an alternative solution to supply the difference. 

Our Role: 

Engenuity leveraged our wealth of experience in the design of compliant embedded generation installations on embedded networks to determine a solution to the shortfall in power at the site. We worked with all stakeholders in the project to design an Energex approved hybrid solar and battery installation. The combination of solar and batteries are now used to meet the shortfall in power requirements for the site. 

Key Outcomes:

Achieved a renewable based solution to provide the site’s maximum demand. 

Energy Maestro (an embedded generation control system) was utilised in the design to achieve compliance with Energex and local requirements and customised to achieve the unique project objectives.
