Cegasa – PV System with Energy Storage for the Rangers HQ Fraser Island, Queensland (Australia)

A case study on an off-grid hybrid solar power plant at the Rangers Headquarters on Fraser Island, Australia, featuring 81.34 kWp PV and 464 kWh of Cegasa lithium LFP battery storage, aiming for an 80% reduction in diesel use.

• Solar Hybrids Pty Ltd constructed a hybrid photovoltaic solar power plant for the Queensland Parks and Wild Life service at the Rangers Headquarters on Fraser Island. The installation is an off-grid system designed to power offices, bedrooms, and auxiliary services.
• The technical specifications of the project include a ground-installed PV power of 81.34 kWp and a storage capacity of 464 kWh (144 Vdc) provided by containerised Cegasa lithium LFP batteries, which are integrated with three Selectronic 120V battery inverters.
• The project faced significant logistical challenges due to Fraser Island's geography, which lacks paved roads and urbanised areas, requiring access via barge and 4x4 vehicles on a beach exceeding 100km in length during low tide. The system is expected to initially reduce diesel use by 80%.
