Context:

As part of their plans to implement renewables across their sites, our client required solar to be installed on every residence in their development, and a central battery to increase the site’s self-consumption. This site was already in construction at the time of engagement and is an embedded network; thus was limited by the existing electrical reticulation design and had to comply with stringent Energex requirements.  

Our Role: 

Engenuity leveraged our wealth of experience in the design of compliant embedded generation installations on embedded networks to develop and implement a solution to control the large single- and three-phase inverter-based generation on the site. Engenuity produced an RPEQ certified embedded generation design, managed the application with Energex, and commissioned the installation. 

Key Outcomes:

Delivered a cost effective and quality solution that could control multiple brands and types of inverters. Energy Maestro (an embedded generation control system) was utilised in the design to achieve compliance with Energex and local requirements, while providing improved solar performance when compared with other solutions available on the market.
