Vena Energy Selects Doosan GridTech To Deliver Queensland
Vena Energy-Australia has named Doosan GridTech as its engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partner to build Queensland's largest energy storage system. This battery energy storage system (BESS) will play a major role in improving grid stability and supporting the state's shift to renewable energy. Located near Wandoan in the state's southwest region, the BESS will have a discharge capacity of 100MW and deliver 150MWh enough to provide power for 57,000 homes.
'As our first grid-scale energy storage project, the Wandoan South BESS in South West Queensland required an EPC partner that carries Doosan's expertise depth and market credibility,' said Anil Nangia, Head of Vena Energy-Australia. 'We view Doosan as a long-term partner who shares our desires to accelerate the transition to renewable energy in the Asia-Pacific region and to enrich local economies and communities.'
Doosan's design of one of the largest battery systems in Australia features:
- Customized battery building that will efficiently manage the safety, protection, and ambient temperature control for more than 20,000 lithium-ion batteries
- Doosan's control and monitoring software to operate the plant's energy management system and allow the BESS' participation in the ancillary service market
- Ability to convert to battery/solar hybrid control for future system evolution
Doosan's Intelligent Controller (DG-IC) will be the operating software platform of the Wandoan South BESS. It is one of the first storage control systems built on open standard interfaces and is custom-designed to meet the Australian transmission system's rigorous requirements. The DG-IC is the advanced intelligence of a BESS system designed to provide speedy response against complex schedules and operating modes while ensuring that power quality is maintained.
Vena Energy-Australia is a subsidiary of Vena Energy, a leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) of renewable energy in the Asia-Pacific region with over 11 gigawatts in operation, construction, and development. In Australia, Vena Energy is progressing over 2.5 gigawatts of renewable energy projects across the country. Headquartered in Singapore, Vena Energy manages the development, design, procurement, construction, and maintenance of its solar, wind, and battery energy storage systems in Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.
