The proposed Variable Speed Diesel Generator to be developed as part of this project will use less fuel and run cleaner with reduced wear than conventional generators. The widespread use of this technology in remote area diesel and hybrid power systems with renewable energy sources will result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The project will result in enhanced national and international market opportunities for Australian made power generation equipment for rural electrification. This project will enable Australian companies to be on the leading edge of mini to medium size stand-alone mini grid diesel power stations. This will have a significant impact on the economic development and on job creation in AustraliaRead moreRead less
MULTI-FUNCTION POWER ELECTRONIC INTERFACE FOR HYBRID MINI-GRID SYSTEMS. Village electrification represents a high potential market for hybrid power systems. Many stand-alone diesel units are powering mini-grids all around the world and could be retrofitted with renewable power generators and battery storage units. Power electronics, the technology of efficiently processing electric power, plays an essential part in the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and micro-hydro a ....MULTI-FUNCTION POWER ELECTRONIC INTERFACE FOR HYBRID MINI-GRID SYSTEMS. Village electrification represents a high potential market for hybrid power systems. Many stand-alone diesel units are powering mini-grids all around the world and could be retrofitted with renewable power generators and battery storage units. Power electronics, the technology of efficiently processing electric power, plays an essential part in the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and micro-hydro at the electricity distribution level. The objective of this project will be to develop a new generation of core power electronics technology(patent pending)for single phase and medium scale three phase grid-interactive and standalone/hybrid renewable energy applications.Read moreRead less
