§© ABB Group CONFIDENTIAL April 16, 2015
§ ABB has many years of experience integrating renewable energy sources in technically-challenging Microgrids,and this experience combined with strict adherence to industry-accepted modelling and design tools, andpower systems standards, is the foundation of ABB’s consulting offering.
§ Making the right economic and technical decisions can be difficult, but using sophisticated simulation tools,ABB can tailor a solution to fit specific wind and solar conditions, commercial considerations and technicalrequirements.
§ To start, ABB consultants evaluate design options for both off-grid and grid-connected distributed generationapplications. Optimisation and sensitivity analysis algorithms evaluate the economic feasibility of manytechnology options, and account for cost variations and energy resource availability. In addition to thorougheconomic analysis, ABB provides a strong technical consulting capability, including flexible, dynamic simulationtools that produce extremely accurate grid models.
§ ABB’s Microgrid Solutions’ experience with remote power generation is constantly helping to improve the toolsand design process in these studies, while an experienced engineering team guarantees the end result is ahigh-quality, technically-detailed project simulation. ABB verifies its models with data taken from similarcompleted, commissioned projects; this helps to identify problems in the simulation process, and increases theaccuracy of future models.
§ In this way, ABB consultants can rely on real-world experience and working systems to ensure the most validsimulation models are delivered.

Project nameMarble BarCountryWestern Australia, AustraliaCustomerHorizon PowerGovernment of WACompletion date2010
*For both Marble Bar and Nullagine projects
ABB solution§ PV/diesel Microgrid with PowerStore grid-stabilizing
technology and Microgrid Plus System§ The resulting system consists of:
§ Diesel (4 x 320kW)§ PV (1 x 300kW)§ PowerStore-flywheel (1 x 500kW)§ Microgrid Plus System
Customer benefits*§ Minimize diesel consumption, 405,000 liters of fuel saved
annually§ Minimum environmental impact, 1,100 tonnes CO2 avoided
annually§ Reliable and stable power supply§ 60% of the day time electricity demand is generated by the
PV plant
About the projectMarble bar and Nullagine are the world`s first highpenetration, solar photovoltaic diesel power stations
References – Integrated wind or PV plant§ DeGrussa Mine - PV/Diesel
Project nameDeGrussa Copper-Gold MineCountryAustraliaCustomerjuwi Renewable EnergyCompletion dateTo be completed in 2016
ABB solution
§ Integration of a new 10.6 megawatt (MW) solar PV fieldand a battery storage system with existing dieselgeneration to provide reliable base-load power.
§ The resulting system consists of: PowerStore™ gridstabilization solutions (2 x 2 MW), solar inverter stations(5 x 2 MW), solar MV stations, a transformer (5 MVA) andthe Microgrid Plus System
Customer benefits§ Expected diesel fuel saving is 5 million liters per year,
cutting diesel consumption by 20%
About the project§ The new hybrid solar facility will be the largest integrated
off-grid solar and battery storage plant in Australia.§ Once fully integrated, the plant will reduce CO2
emissions by 12,000 tons.
