Research description
The aim of the project is to improve the efficiency in the dispatchability of solar-generated power to the electricity grid. The project involves solar farms with hybrid energy storage – of lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells – working in combination with artificial intelligence (AI) to predict generation and demand.
The project received AUD$3 million in grant funding as part of Round 7 of the CRC-P Program and has a scheduled three-year duration to end August 2022.
