Gannawarra Solar Farm
Gannawarra Solar Farm is a photovoltaic solar power station in the Gannawarra Shire, west of Kerang in the Australian state of Victoria. It generates up to 60 MW electricity and exports up to 50.61 MW to the National Electricity Market at 66 kV. Solar Choice was the originating developer of the Gannawarra Solar Farm securing the site and early-stage development approvals before the project was acquired by Edify Energy. It was first connected to the grid by Powercor Australia in April 2018. It is 94.9% owned bWIRSOL a brand of Wircon GmbH and 5.1% owned by the developer Edify Energy who is also the longterm asset manager of the project. It consists of JA Solar modules with ATI DuraTrack mounting system and SMA 2500 SC-EV inverters. It was financed in a single package with the Whitsunday Solar Farm and Hamilton Solar Farm, both in Queensland, which projects were also developed and are managed by Edify Energy.

Kerang, Victoria
Kerang is a rural town on the Loddon River in northern Victoria in Australia. It is the commercial centre to an irrigation district based on livestock, horticulture, lucerne and grain. It is located north-west of Melbourne on the Murray Valley Highway a few kilometres north of its intersection with the Loddon Valley Highway, elevation . At the , Kerang had a population of 3,893. ''Kerang'' is believed to be an Aboriginal word for Cockatoo. It is home to the largest solar and battery farm in the country which was opened in June 2019. The 50-megawatt battery system is located outside of Kerang and stores 100 per cent renewable energy. The 2,000 solar panels have become a tourist attraction and are drawing many businesses to the town. History The Wemba-Wemba Aboriginal people are the original owners and the area's first occupants. Thomas Mitchell was the first European to visit the area, in 1836. Squatters began to settle in the area in 1845 and in 1848 Richard Beyes opened a ...

Inverter
A power inverter, inverter or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The inverter does not produce any power; the power is provided by the DC source. A power inverter can be entirely electronic or may be a combination of mechanical effects (such as a rotary apparatus) and electronic circuitry. Static inverters do not use moving parts in the conversion process. Power inverters are primarily used in electrical power applications where high currents and voltages are present; circuits that perform the same function for electronic signals, which usually have very low currents and vol ...

RCR Tomlinson
RCR Tomlinson was one of Australia's largest multi-disciplined infrastructure, resource and engineering companies with a reputation for delivering high quality mining technologies. History In 1898, Tomlinson Bros was founded as an engineering company in Perth by Ernest and Edward Tomlinson. In 1951 the company was floated on the Australian Securities Exchange, (ASX). In 1981, Clyde Engineering that already held a 63% shareholding, launched a successful takeover bid. In 1985 with a lack of work, Clyde proposed to close the business, however it was rescued in a management buyout. In December 1996 ''RCR Tomlinson'' was formed when ''RCR Engineering'' and ''Tomlinson Bros merged''.Our History RCR Tomlinson RCR's origins date back to 1979 when ''RCR Engineering Ltd'' was established in |
Engineering, Procurement, And Construction
Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts (a type of turnkey contract) are a form of contract used to undertake construction works by the private sector on large-scale and complex infrastructure projects. Overview Under an EPC contract, a contractor is obliged to deliver a complete facility to a developer who needs only "turn a key" to start operating the facility; hence EPC contracts are sometimes called turnkey construction contracts. In addition to delivering a complete facility, the contractor must deliver that facility for a guaranteed price by a fixed date and it must perform to the specified level. Failure to comply with any requirement will usually result in the contractor incurring monetary liabilities. The EPC contractor coordinates all design, procurement and construction work and ensures that the whole project is completed as required and in time. They may or may not undertake actual site work. Various abbreviations used for this type of contract are ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
