Ingeteam was selected as a technology partner by Global Power Generation (GPG), the international generation subsidiary of the Naturgy group, to equip an electricity storage project in Australia. The 10-megawatt and 20-megawatt-hour capacity battery system is associated with the 109-megawatt Berrybank 2 wind farm in Victoria, which GPG will start operating in the coming months.
The battery storage facility, located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), will support ACT's distribution network at the Queanbeyan substation, in partnership with the region's transmission grid service provider, TransGrid.
Ingeteam’s second large-scale storage project in Australia
This is the first large-scale storage project in Australia for which Ingeteam has provided a wide range of key components. The company supplied two power conversion systems (all-in-one electricity substations integrating battery inverters, transformers, medium voltage cells, etc.), four 2.5-megawatt/five-megawatt-hour battery storage containers and the control system to manage the operation of the entire storage plant. Ingeteam conducted the commissioning of the plant and will also be responsible for operation and maintenance via its local subsidiary.
This is the second large-scale storage project in Australia that Ingeteam is involved in, and the third in Oceania. Ingeteam had previously supplied a power conversion system for a project on the continent. (mfo)
