[Geelong battery pilot begins operation to help businesses cut power bills]

New Zealand energy storage company ArcActive has switched on its pilot of a re-engineered lead-acid battery system at Deakin's new Renewable Grid-Connected Battery Testing Facility at its Waurn Ponds campus in Geelong, with support from Origin Energy. The system aims to help businesses cut power bills by making battery storage cheaper and easier to install, allowing more businesses to store solar electricity for later use and buy less power when prices are high. The system builds on lead-acid technology already used to support critical infrastructure, including telecommunications, hospitals and data centres. ArcActive has redesigned the batteries' internal structure, using a fabric framework to support the material that stores and releases energy. The design aims to extend cycling life while preserving low cost. The pilot operates within Deakin's renewable energy microgrid, which provides electricity generation and storage for operational use. ArcActive CEO Stuart McKenzie said the pilot was a step forward in making battery storage accessible to more businesses. He said the cost of installing a battery goes beyond the battery itself, with businesses also needing to account for engineering work, approvals, insurance and safety measures, and that if they do not know what their site will need or how much it will cost, they can be reluctant to invest. He said lead-acid technology offered a familiar starting point, as engineers, approval authorities and insurers already know it and there are established pathways for approving and insuring these installations. ArcActive is targeting commercial and industrial businesses that could benefit from storage but face costs and complexity that can prevent projects from proceeding. McKenzie said the company wants businesses to be able to deploy storage through a more standardised, repeatable process, with greater confidence about the cost, the approval requirements and the financial return.
