1- 58 kWh battery energy storage, 20 kVA inverter capacity, single phase and 15 kW PV in a custom-built shell on skids similar to current diesel generators

2- 20 kWh battery energy storage, 5 kVA inverter capacity and 1.5 kW PV in a portable Trailer

3- A portable site hut with built-in 9.6 kWh battery, 5 kVA inverter capacity and 5 kVA PV generation capacity

specifically designed to respond to the problems identified during the Bushfire Royal Commission, and from what was learnt about grid failures in other emergency situations.

The 3 systems will provide low carbon options for emergency response agencies whilst demonstrating safe, quiet and zero emissions for emergency response staff and volunteers to be piloted in base camps.

The systems will provide a safe, efficient and effective means of providing power during emergencies, facilitating evacuations, providing safe and comfortable refuge facilities, maintaining vital telecommunications links, or helping to maintain services such as fuel supply and banking.

The project uses safe, non-flammable SALT battery technology, which is suitable for an emergency application where there may be heat or flames present. The SALT battery technology is the only chemistry UL9540A certified for safety from thermal runaway. This means no risk of fire or explosion, even in the presence of external fire, so it is very suitable for bushfire environments.

All 3 renewable energy systems are customisable and can have battery, solar and inverter capacity adjusted to fit situational needs.

The container solution can also be used to provide renewable power to businesses without the need to actually attach them to a building. This is particularly useful to buildings that are rented.

The containers are also a perfect solution for community batteries which are becoming more popular in many towns.
