Powering ahead with community batteries
Community-scale batteries are already achievable in Australia, will complement existing household batteries and will allow more solar energy to be stored in our suburbs, analysis from The Australian National University (ANU) shows.
With the move towards community-scale batteries gathering pace across the nation, two new reports from ANU show the best way forward when it comes to their rollout.
The batteries have power capacity of around one megawatt (MW), or enough to power around 100 houses. They help “soak up” solar power generated during the day, improving reliability.
“They have the potential to play an integral role in Australia’s transition to a decentralised grid by keeping generated energy close to where it will be used,” project lead Dr Marnie Shaw from the ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program (BSGIP) said.
