Microgrids and Community Energy Systems
Microgrids and community energy systems represent a transformative approach to local energy generation and consumption, aiming to enhance resilience, sustainability, and energy independence. Syncline Energy is supporting efforts across Australia to deliver their benefits. Our projects listed below use in-house software and also licence PV Syst for solar design and HomerPro for microgrids.
Kings Canyon Solar/Diesel Microgrid
The challenge: Expensive and intermittent power supply holding back Delaware North’s business plans for Kings Canyon, a remote resort in the Australia’s Northern Territory.
Midfield Geothermal System
The challenge: High cost of water and energy for one of Australia’s largest export abattoirs.
What we did: Syncline designed and constructed a geothermal water supply system including RO Plant for Midfield’s main processing facility in Warrnambool. This required drilling a 900m bore into the deep Dilwyn Aquifer formation and securing water licenses and all necessary permits. The Project was supported by the Government of Victoria through a grant to enhance sustainability in new investment.
The result: Pay-back of less that 2 years.
Geothermal System for the Deep Blue Resort & Conference Centre
The challenge: Design and build a geothermal heating system for a Spa Resort
What we did: Designed and developed a deep aquifer supply of hot water for use in swimming pool and room heating. Integrated with Spa operations.
The result: An Iconic Spa Resort operating along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road.
