The project, which pairs the 128 MWh DC-coupled battery with an 80 MW AC solar farm, marks a significant step in Australia's transition to co-located hybrid renewable energy and storage solutions.
With a total inverter capacity of 136 MVA and a total storage capacity of 55MW / 220MWh, the project stands as Australia's largest DC-coupled solar-plus-storage installation to date and marks GPG's first hybrid project.
DC-coupled solar-plus-storage systems offer a streamlined approach to energy management. By allowing solar generation to flow directly to the battery through a DC/DC converter, this architecture minimises conversion losses when integrating energy storage with solar assets.
