ARENA and the Northern Territory Power and Water Corporation (PWC) today launched two exciting resources that will help boost the use of solar/diesel hybrid power generation in remote off-grid communities where energy demand and costs are increasing.
A new handbook and modelling software were developed through a PWC research project in Daly River (NT). By presenting the many advantages of solar/diesel hybrid systems, these new resources will open the door to a more diverse renewable energy mix for off-grid communities as well as large scale mining operations.
