EcoVAR™ is a static compensator designed to manage and stabilise low-voltage electricity networks, especially in areas with high levels of solar energy adoption. One of the main challenges with integrating solar energy into existing grids is the fluctuating voltage that can arise when excess power is generated during peak sunlight hours. This fluctuation can affect the quality of power supply to customers and cause damage to electrical appliances.
EcoVAR™ addresses this challenge by providing fast and precise voltage regulation, ensuring the stability of the grid without the need for expensive, traditional energy storage systems. Unlike conventional solutions, EcoVAR™ does not rely on batteries or other storage devices. Instead, it uses a combination of dynamic reactive power compensation and advanced control systems to stabilise voltage levels and help to balance the phase voltages.
By enhancing the stability of low-voltage networks, EcoVAR™ allows utilities and businesses to accommodate more renewable energy sources like solar power while conforming to grid requirements. This not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
EcoSTORE™: Intelligent, Flexible Battery Inverter for Community and Grid Applications
EcoSTORE™ is a highly flexible and intelligent battery inverter system designed to support a wide range of energy storage applications, including community energy storage and rural grid support. Energy networks are trying to accommodate increasing levels of rooftop solar as well as increasing large variable loads such as EV charging, home thermal regulation. EcoSTORE™ plays a vital role in enhancing local energy resilience, reducing grid strain, and empowering communities.
One of the standout applications of EcoSTORE™ is in community energy storage, a rapidly growing model that allows multiple consumers to share access to a local battery system—typically pole-mounted within the neighbourhood. In Australia and globally, rooftop solar adoption has surged, yet declining feed-in tariffs and high upfront costs for home batteries have limited consumers’ ability to fully capitalise on their solar generation. Community batteries offer a cost-effective alternative, enabling residents to store excess solar energy and retrieve it when needed, without investing in individual battery systems.
