The need for resilient small-scale wind energy
Telecommunication providers rely heavily on diesel generation to power their off-grid sites. These organisations are exposed to fuel cost fluctuations and unpredictable diesel transport costs. Natural disasters like bushfires and floods only compounds this problem further.
Barriers to adoption of renewable energy at remote sites must be overcome. Space constraints restrict the addition of more solar PV panels. Increasing battery capacity is not sustainable and only possible if there is a renewable supply available to charge them. There is a need for an alternative and complementary energy source.
Small-scale wind technology is the natural counterpart to solar PV and diesel. Wind technology has been investigated by telecommunications operators as a complementary energy source. Adopters have no clear path on how to best integrate wind generation into existing electrical systems and tower infrastructure.
Our world-leading small-scale wind turbine technology helps businesses wanting to increase renewable adoption. Diffuse Energy's innovative hardware service model reduces CAPEX, saves on diesel, and increases renewable output.
This project, in partnership with ARENA, will ensure rigorous validation for Australia’s telco sites. A nationwide rollout of our wind turbine technology can displace 17 GWh of fossil fuelled generation per year. This can save $43.9M in diesel fuel, transportation costs, and generator maintenance.
