THE CHALLENGE

​

Monash University has the inspirational goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2030. Their Net Zero initiative aims to make the universities electricity consumption more sustainable in order to achieve a completely independent power supply using solely renewable energy.

​

As part of their Net Zero initiate the university took the initial steps to maximise the energy efficiency of it's lighting systems and buildings. Additionally the university installed a cumulative total of 2MW of PV on campus.

​

In a drive for further sustainability and efficiency the system required a storage solution.

​

​

THE SOLUTION

 

The first of it's kind hybrid storage system combining Tesvolt lithium-ion batteries and Vanadium redox flow battery system which will sit at the centre of the universities energy microgrid.

​

Unlimited Energy Australia provided the concept design, project management, installation and commissioning for this project which is Australia's largest commercial behind-the-meter battery storage system.
