Mini-grid in Mooroolbark: Neighbourly sharing

摘要

In an Australian first, network provider AusNet Services is currently rolling out a solar + storage mini-grid trial in Mooroolbark, in Melbourne's east. Of the 16 homes on the chosen street, 14 will each have between 3 and 4.5kW of solar panels and a 10kWh battery storage system installed, with a cloud-based monitoring and management platform to optimise power flows across the mini-grid and to provide demand management support to the network.
