Western Australian wave power company Carnegie Wave Energy has revealed that it is collaborating with WA network operator Western Power to develop the world’s first wave-integrated renewable energy microgrid project to be connected to an electricity network.
The Garden Island Microgrid Project will consist of Carnegie’s CETO 6 array, which is currently in progress, as well as the existing reverse osmosis desalination plant that is currently operating on Garden Island after being switched on last week.
The microgrid will also have an additional 2MW peak, of solar PV power generation, as well as sufficient energy storage to allow safe, stable and reliable interaction with the electricity grid.
