Funded Activity Summary

Variable speed diesel power conversion system using a doubly fed induction generator. 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 Australia
