University of Queensland side energy storage system

A 600 kW, 760 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has been integrated with The University of Queensland (UQ) Gatton Solar Research Facility (GSRF). This addition to the Australian Government funded 3. 275 MW pilot PV plant brings a new dimension to UQ's large-scale PV grid integration research. The BESS enables ongoing research and development into using energy storage to support the grid and potentially time shifting the solar power generated. At the time of. . The QUT Energy Storage Research Group strives to support, enable and grow battery industries within Australia through expansion upon strong foundations to become a national leading, globally recognised centre for excellence in battery research, technology, standards and safety. This supports industries (such as the sugarcane industry). . Large-scale deployment of clean energy projects utilising renewable energy generators (e. solar, wind) is currently well underway in Australia.
