Description

This project proposes the design and validation of a renewable, deployable microgrid that integrates various inputs such as waste-to-energy (W2E) systems, solar PV, batter and diesel generator. Designed for Defence operations in Northern Australia, the system will convert operational waste into usable energy (e.g., syngas or bio-oil) and provide reliable power for charging or storing energy in portable devices. It aims to enhance energy resilience, reduce reliance on fuel logistics, and support sustainable operations in remote or contested environments.
