Electrification is turning into one of the major trends in Australia, with growing numbers of houses getting roof-mounted solar power systems, electric cars becoming a common sight on Australian streets, and companies adopting electric solutions rather than devices working on fossil fuel technologies. But...
AS/NZS 4777.1 is the installation standard specific to grid-connected inverter energy systems. This installation standard is in place to guarantee that any inverter-based energy systems, which can interface with an electricity network, are installed in a manner which is safe, predictable, and protective of...
The AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 standard introduces significant updates that impact both solar energy systems and electric vehicle (EV) integration. This new update includes important changes, particularly regarding new definitions: Inverter Power Sharing Devices (IPSD) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. Inverter Power Sharing Devices (IPSD) The 2024...
The Australian Building Codes Board produces and maintains the National Construction Code (NCC) on behalf of the Australian Government and each state and territory government. Australia’s main set of technical building design and construction guidelines is the NCC. It establishes the minimal standard needed...
At Clean Tech Controls, quality is our number one priority. We hold an ISO 9001 certification, which proves that we have a well-structured and organised quality management system. This shows that Clean Tech Controls: • has a long-term strategy to ensure consistent, high-quality output....
A Motor Control Center, MCC, is a centralized system for managing multiple electric motors, usually in large industrial or commercial facilities. It consists of sectionalized parts that share a common power bus, integrating motor starters, protection devices, and communication features all designed to provide...
V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology is one of those concepts that make a fundamental difference in the interaction between electric vehicles and the power grid. Electric vehicles may consume electricity from the power grid, but they are also capable of feeding the surplus electricity back to...
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology would change the way electric vehicles (EVs) interact with the power grid, representing a paradigm shift in the way such energy storage devices would draw energy to charge and feed back to the grid. This paper discusses the technical requirements of...
Vehicle-to-Grid or V2G technology has emerged as an innovative phenomenon where electric vehicle batteries function as energy storage systems having a two-way communication pathway with the power grid. In this context, vehicle-to-grid allows electric cars to take power from and supply power back to...
Rising EV ownership is bringing about the need for efficient charging solutions. With DC EV fast chargers, one can now experience rapid power directly to the EV battery. Compared with Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, the downtime is drastically reduced; thus, it has...
