What is Powerhouse?

AI-powered smart industrial scale technology

Powerhouse is an AI-powered smart industrial scale technology that provides clean renewable power to both microgrids and grid support applications.  

Available as stand-alone power or smart grid support, Powerhouse has been engineered for rapid deployment, reliability and provides significant operating efficiencies at an industrial scale.

Powerhouse’s intelligence system ensures high availability of power and can integrate with various renewable energy sources, including solar, wind and hydrogen.

Developed by Synertec’s in-house engineering team, with a strong track record of over 25 years, this Australian-engineered and constructed green technology provides off-grid power, negating the reliance on fossil fuels.

The rollout of Powerhouse across key industrial sectors will support industry’s energy transition to a greener future.

Stand Alone Power (Microgrids)

100% off grid, no fossil fuel required

Renewable energy sources are pivotal for supplying electricity to mission-critical operations, particularly in remote power generation for off-grid and micro-grid applications.

Powerhouse emerges as the optimal solution for these scenarios, offering a clean renewable power alternative compared to traditional expensive diesel generators with mobility and scalability for easy deployment for a range of industrial applications. Some of the key features of the micro grid technology include:

  • High Availability: The only technology that can provide 100% available and 100% green energy power to remote industrial applications day and night, through all weather conditions
  • Broad Compatibility: Engineered for versatility, Powerhouse seamlessly connects with Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV) networks, offering unparalleled adaptability to your existing infrastructure.
  • Unmatched Placement Flexibility: Powerhouse’s innovative design allows for seamless integration across diverse locations, ensuring optimal performance for distributed assets, no matter where they are, and
  • High-Demand Equipment Support: Powerhouse stands out by powering even the most demanding industrial equipment. Its robust design ensures that your operations remain uninterrupted, maximising productivity and efficiency.

Smart Grid Support (Grid Firming)

Supporting the grid with clean, renewable energy

Powerhouse technology is a versatile grid firming solution that enhances the stability and reliability of renewable energy integration into the grid at an industrial scale.

With the capability to manage from 100 kWh up to 10 MWh of storage and load management, its adaptability not only contributes to significant emission reductions but also modernises grid infrastructure, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient energy future. 

By supporting the grid with clean, renewable energy, Powerhouse helps to create a balanced and resilient energy network that can adapt to fluctuating demands and supply, while working towards net zero targets.

Industrial Scale Green Technology

Flexible Designs & Industrial Scale

Powerhouse’s design has been engineered to align with the strategic and financial objectives of each client, offering a bespoke solution that is both scalable and adaptable to the specific site requirements. This modular design can accommodate a broad spectrum of voltage and power requirements, ensuring that every Powerhouse system is configured to the unique specifications of the individual application.

With an integrated system built to efficiently manage scalable battery storage from 199kWh up to 10MWh, Powerhouse delivers a consistent and reliable power supply, adept at handling the demands of variable inductive and capacitive loads. This includes the capability to manage high voltage applications (HV), distinguishing Powerhouse from traditional solar power systems that are generally confined to low voltage (LV) applications. This level of customisation and operational reliability positions Powerhouse as a premier choice for clean, reliable, and tailored energy solutions
