Description

Description

A Western Australian gold mine will be the first Australian mine to be powered by a wind, solar, battery and gas microgrid.Key resultsThe Agnew Renewable Hybrid Microgrid demonstrated that a remote mining operation can be powered by high penetration renewable energy and that wind power is a mature and reliable technology for use at mines.Where wind and solar resources are complementary (wind at night and solar during the day) as they are at Agnew, there is a strong economic case for high penetration renewable projects.Due to the variable nature of renewable energy and the synchronous stability requirements of microgrids, designing a microgrid with a factor of curtailment is currently the lowest cost method of achieving a mid to high level (50% – 80%) of renewable fraction. Above these levels there is a business case for storage which makes use of zero marginal cost curtailed renewable energy.
