Dalby Hybrid
Location: Dalby, Queensland
Technology: 2p Fixed Tilt
Size: 2.5Mw PV – 2.5Mw/5Mw/h
Scope: BESS Mechanical & Electrical Services
Time spent: 6 months
On the Dalby Hybrid project, located in the township of Dalby in Queensland, ACLE Services were called on to take responsibility as the sole mechanical and electrical service provider.
Conceived as a technology demonstration site, this project utilised string inverters and Tesla Megapack battery energy storage systems for operation.
ACLE’s full role on the demonstration site included array post installation, array assembly, electrical equipment installation, switch room installation, transformers installation, DC/LV/MV wiring, termination and testing and also commissioning.
Sovereign Hills BESS
Location: Sovereign Hills, Port Macquarie, New South Wales
Technology: LiPo4 BESS (EVO Energy)
Size: 1Mw/2Mwh
Scope: Project delivery, Civil and Electrical
Time spent: 6 weeks
Located within the holiday destination of Port Macquarie, New South Wales, ACLE was tasked with performing all construction activities to deliver this significant project for AGL (Energy Retailer) and Essential Energy (Distribution Network Service Provider).
ACLE delivered all site management and construction activities as a turnkey service, including construction of access roads, and drainage culverts, HV culverts, concrete works, electrical and ESS equipment installation, termination and commissioning.
Essential Energy developed this project as a protype for assessmentof deferred network augmentation and crucially, to assess the effectiveness of distributed BESS to achieve resilience in the energy distribution network.
Northern Power Station
Location: Port Augusta, South Australia
Technology: 2P Single Axis Tracking System
Size: 7.2Mwp
Scope: Sole EPC Contractor
Time spent: 8 months
On the Northern Power Station project, located near the Victoria-New South Wales border, ACLE was tasked with delivering a complete Engineering, Procurement and Construction service utilising single-axis trackers.
This project was especially significant as it was one of the first solar farms in Australia to successfully utilise string inverters on a utility level and represented a significant milestone for not only the developers of the project but also more broadly for other industry stakeholders.
The project itself presented a stringent set of requirements to deliver, comparable to solar plants of large-scale capacity, requiring the direct use of over 150 staff at peak to deliver.
Having just gone through the significant bushfire crisis which affected the region and the economic and supply chain related challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, ACLE was able to complete the construction of the solar project on schedule, in just 4 months.
Blue Grass Solar Farm
Location: South-West Queensland, Australia
Technology: Single Axis Tracking System
Size: 200 Mwp
Scope: Mechanical installation
Time spent: 9 months
On the Blue Grass Solar Farm project, located 14km away from Chinchilla in the Western Downs regional council area of Queensland, ACLE was tasked with delivering full mechanical service for this solar project.
On ACLE’s side, this project involved the complete construction of single-axis trackers, including the assembly and installation work, as well as successfully mounting all of the PV modules and the cold commissioning of the control system
This project, largely due to ACLE’s highly skilled, local workforce of over 150 at peak, was able to be delivered on-time and with no disruption.
