Magellan Power to supply energy storage system to TransGrid

Tuesday, 19 November, 2013

Magellan Power has been awarded a contract to supply a demand management system to TransGrid, the owner and operator of one of the largest high-voltage transmission networks in Australia.

The GPSS-SP is used by TransGrid for its i-Demand Project. The project, which is in place at TransGrid’s Western Sydney (Eastern Creek) site, also includes 99 kW of solar panels and high-efficiency LED lighting.

The Magellan GPSS-SP (Grid Power Support System), designed and manufactured by Magellan Power, utilises 400 kWh lithium polymer batteries. The Australian-designed and -made inverter utilises rugged IGBT power circuitry with the latest microprocessor hardware and software.

Magellan acknowledges the role played by Zest Energy in assisting the company in the selection of batteries. Zest worked closely with Magellan Power, the battery supplier and the customer (TransGrid) throughout the process.
