A large-scale livestock farm in remote western Australia is located far from the public power grid, relying entirely on diesel generators for power supply. High diesel fuel costs, frequent maintenance troubles, and severe noise pollution not only increase the farm’s operational costs but also affect the growth of livestock. The customer urgently needs a clean, stable, and cost-effective off-grid power supply solution to support the operation of ventilation, feeding, water supply, and monitoring equipment.
Location/Time: Western Australia, September 2024
Configuration: PCS: 250kW, BAT: 720kWh, PV: 200kW, Diesel Generator: 150kW (backup)
Load: Livestock ventilation fans, automatic feeding systems, drinking water pumps, temperature and humidity monitoring equipment, farm living electricity
Operating environment: Remote pastoral area, large temperature difference between day and night, strong wind, sufficient sunshine
Operating modes: Off-grid operation, solar energy priority, energy storage system for peak shaving, valley filling and emergency power supply, diesel generator starts automatically only when solar energy and energy storage are insufficient (such as continuous rainy days).
The system adopts windproof, dustproof and high and low temperature resistant integrated design, which can adapt to the harsh pastoral environment and operate stably for a long time. It realizes intelligent monitoring and automatic power dispatching, and can adjust the output power according to the change of livestock breeding load (such as increasing ventilation power in high temperature periods), ensuring the stable operation of all equipment.
This solution has completely replaced the traditional diesel power supply mode, reducing the farm’s fuel costs by 60% annually, reducing equipment maintenance frequency by 70%, and eliminating noise and exhaust pollution. It not only ensures the comfortable growth environment of livestock, reduces mortality, but also provides a reliable energy support for the scale and modernization of the livestock farm.
