With accelerating investment in lithium-ion technology there has been an increased adoption in true off-gas detection for the earliest possible warning of thermal runaway in BESS applications and gigafactories. While definitive methodologies for suppressing LiB post thermal runaway remain unclear; the best option in protecting energy storage assets is the earliest possible warning of potential failure events.

This round table discussion will focus on the progression of a LiB failure, highlight protection methodologies and provide data to clarify when and how steps could be taken to prevent the onset of thermal runaway.

With 55 electric buses, a sizeable rooftop solar array, an onsite battery and integrated charging infrastructure, Leichhardt is Australia’s largest electrified bus depot. Join key stakeholders Smart Commercial Solar and Zenobe as they present a live case study exploring the depot’s transformation, featuring insights from both client and contractor. 

Propelled by a vision for a zero-emission future by 2030, this landmark project created headlines around Australia upon completion. With 368kWh of rooftop solar PV and a 2.5MW Tesla MegaPack, the project achieved a 21.8% energy reduction and annual CO2 savings of 6759.5T. It stands as a blueprint for the electrification of transport depots moving forward.

Join us to hear directly from key stakeholders and explore the future of sustainable transit and renewable energy integration.

Metal roofs are ideal for solar panel installation due to their long lifespan and durability. Solar arrays last 35+ years, while metal roofing can last up to 60 years. No other roofing material matches this longevity. Both standing seam and exposed-fastened metal roofs support solar arrays effectively. Two main attachment methods are used: railed and rail-less. Railed installations use metal rails attached to the roof, while rail-less systems attach components directly to the roof. Learn which method is more effective for your needs. 

In determining the optimal size for a standalone or combined battery solar system, it's important to pinpoint your primary goal: whether it's maximising decarbonisation or enhancing self-consumption to reduce reliance on the grid. Tailoring the battery and solar sizing to align with this objective is key to unlocking the system's full potential. Equally vital is ensuring effective control and coordination mechanisms are in place. Join us to discuss how the Virtual Power Plant (VPP), like Origin Loop VPP, offers dynamic system control to meet decarbonisation targets and tap into additional revenue streams by intelligently managing energy export during peak demand periods.
