PowerCache featured in Energy Networks Australia’s new Network Innovation Report 2021

The PowerTec PowerCache® grid-side community batteries, pole-mounted in United Energy’s distribution network at two Melbourne Bayside locations feature in Energy Networks Australia’s new Network Innovation Report 2021 (https://lnkd.in/dQWyxKg).

The community batteries have shown to be more efficient, robust, and versatile in their use than residential ones. They smartly combine network-technical and energy markets functionality, harnessing high local solar penetration to benefit from the stored energy in various applications. While designed for minimal environmental impact, the systems have proven robust to high temperatures and business-as-usual network utilisation.
