Alumuna Power Upgrade Project Achieves Scalable Energy Independence with Arvio Technology
The Challenge
Alumuna faced a big problem: limited grid capacity in a regional area where upgrades were too costly. At the same time, the site aimed to grow its retirement living facilities, leading to a steady rise in energy demand. A long-lasting solution was needed to provide reliable, scalable power without relying on expensive grid upgrades.
The Solution
The Alumuna Power Upgrade Project was designed and developed by Baker Renewable Energy, while Arvio Technology provided system design, battery technology, and smart control through its EJOS platform. Together, they delivered a phased, scalable energy solution that supports the site’s future growth.
Solution Delivered
- Progressive rollout of Arvio Titan battery systems, increasing from 110kWh in 2020 to 500kWh, with plans for 600kWh in 2026
- Integration with twelve Selectronic SPLC1202 inverters to deliver 240kW continuous and 480kW peak three-phase power
- Full site visibility, automation, and control through the Arvio EJOS intelligent energy management system
- A diesel generator ensures backup support, providing continuity during peak demand or times of low renewable output.
The Result
Alumuna has successfully changed its energy setup into a scalable, resilient system that grows with the site. New homes and facilities have been easily added, all managed through a single smart platform.
The partnership between Baker Renewable Energy and Arvio Technology has provided a practical option to pricey grid upgrades, delivering reliable, cost-effective power in a limited regional setting.
Importantly, the ultra-low degradation rate of Arvio Titan batteries (less than 1% each year) has allowed for continuous system growth over many years without sacrificing performance.
This project shows how regional developments can overcome grid limitations, creating reliable, future-ready energy systems
