Funding Awarded for Further Research into EMC's Energy Storage Technology

EMC are excited to announce that EMC and Curtin University of Technology have been awarded an Australian Research Counsel Industry Linkage Grant, the grant will provide funding for research into heat storage technology. This technology is being developed in collaboration with The University of Nottingham.

Solar energy generation has one inherent issue; when the sun goes down, the lights go out. EMC has revolutionary, low cost storage technology with great potential to provide 24/7 electrical generation from the sun - the issue will soon be history. Clean energy from EMC's solar power stations will become a 24/7 energy solution.

This project will investigate energy storage for concentrating solar thermal energy systems. These systems can be used to efficiently generate electricity in remote locations, day and night, using solar energy. It utilises a reversible thermochemical reaction of magnesium and hydrogen to store and release heat when its required.

The pilot project for this technology is planned for 2012, to be built at EMC's site in Carnarvon.

Carnarvon Solar Power Station Delivered on Time and $500K Under Budget

The EMC construction team have after an 8 week construction phase successfully delivered the Carnarvon Solar Power Station on time and $500K under budget. The $2.9 million, 290 kW station is the first PPA supported Solar Power Station in Western Australia. Connected to Horizon Powers network the station produces 600,000 kWh annually, offsetting 180,000 litres of diesel representing a saving of 483 tonnes CO2.

The solar power station consists of 7 single axis tracking arrays and 48 seasonally adjusted fixed frame arrays. Engineered to withstand category D cyclonic conditions, these rapidly deployable PV support structures allow a modular and scalable solution for commercial clean energy power generation.

The project is supported by the Australian Government through the renewable remote power generation program. The program is implemented by the State's Office of Energy in Western Australia.

The station was commissioned in December 2011, energy production is due to commence under a 15 year power purchase agreement with Horizon Power. This is the first of a 50 MW staged rollout of solar power stations by EMC across Western Australia. The construction application for the next project, a 2MW station in Moora Western Australia, is being prepared to be lodged.

A New Age for a Nostalgic Building – EMC House 18 Colin St, West Perth WA 6005

EMC has recently moved to the heritage-listed building at 18 Colin St West Perth once known as Lexbourne House.EMC_House_18_Colin_Street_sm

Lexbourne House (fmr) was built during a time of prosperity in Western Australia and is one of the more substantial houses built in West Perth, a prestigious residential suburb close to the city of Perth that became popular in the early twentieth century for its elevation and proximity to the city.

Lexbourne House was built for Robert Law, a prominent West Australian builder and entrepreneur in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In partnership with William Atkins, Law was responsible for the construction of a number of prominent buildings and structures throughout Western Australia. Law established a number of brickworks, which were consolidated as Metropolitan Brick and was the founder of Monier, the first company in Western Australia to manufacture concrete pipes and concrete roof tiles.

Lexbourne House was designed by the architectural firm Cavanagh, Cavanagh and Parry and is one of the more elaborate residential designs of the firm’s principle designer, Michael Cavanagh. The firm designed a number of residential, commercial and ecclesiastical buildings throughout Western Australia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The building is 100 years of age (in 2011) and holds great architectural value in Western Australia’s history. It is ornate and grand in scale and design; it is an excellent example of the residential design of the period.

Within its walls, the historic building would have many stories to tell, but none more exciting than its eminent future – housing the dedicated EMC team, influential in the changing landscape of Western Australia’s clean energy sector.
