Testing is underway for the Waratah Super Battery! Our Waratah Super Battery and Technical Services teams recently visited Akaysha Energy ’s Test Bench at Consolidated Power Projects Australia Pty Ltd depot in Sydney. The Test Bench is where Akaysha demonstrates the systems that will make the battery work in its capacity as a System Integrity Protection Scheme service when it goes live next year. It includes a control room, a power conversion system by eks Energy , a Powin energy battery energy storage system and real-time power management with the Power Plant Controller. The visit gave us an opportunity to simulate the operation of the features that the Waratah Super Battery will use, and is a look ahead for this project that is critical for NSW’s energy reliability.
