PROJECT NAME:
Objectives & Site Considerations:
The client needed power for a farm shed, to supply basic needs like the fridge, lights, and a water pump. The client was happy to run any occasional larger loads directly from the generator. They were also happy to be ‘hands on’ with the system, opting for a manually operated generator rather than auto-start.
Load Analysis:
Average summer demand: 2.96kWh
Average winter demand: 3.03kWh
Demand surge: 2.9kW
System Design:
Project Outcome:
After seeing the potential of off-grid technologies used in this project, the client considered getting a grid-connected Autonomy system to run their home near Nowra NSW essentially ‘off grid’. Unfortunately, a couple of high-draw reverse cycle ACs (that were used especially in winter) meant the Autonomy system didn’t work out to be viable at the time (Oct 2016).
After running their Murray Cod Aquaculture operation from expensive diesel generators for years, Coobool Downs wanted an alternative.
A huge effort by our team to salvage this system and provide a safe and working off-grid system for the Farrowing Property.
An off-grid system was required to replace the existing diesel generating plant, to offset diesel costs.
