LAVO has completed a successful site validation and demonstration testing process at Coregas’ South Australian facility.
LAVO was able to properly test, show, and validate the concept of the Company’s revolutionary Hydrogen Energy Storage System through this installation (HESS). The procedure generated useful data and insights about how to improve the system’s performance and functionality in the future. The operational data obtained will aid several regulatory bodies, including gas safe, the power grid, and the water supply authority, in assessing the system’s safety and dependability and streamlining the product certification procedure. Additionally, the methodology validated the installation protocol, site commissioning, and remote technical support model.
Alan Yu, CEO and Executive Director, said: “The work done at Coregas represents an important milestone on the journey to commercialisation. Information and data obtained during the demonstration has moved us closer to receiving the necessary certifications and approvals from SafeWork SA in South Australia which will then allow for commercial installation and commissioning.”
“Our partnership with Coregas has been essential throughout the process, and we thank them for their cooperation and enthusiasm to support this initiative. The approval and certification process for new technologies isn’t always a straightforward process, but it is an essential one. LAVO will continue to undertake demonstration installation projects across Australia, using data outputs to enhance design and performance of the HESS and other long-term sustainable energy solutions.”
Alan Watkins, Coregas Executive General Manager, said: “Coregas is committed to doing our bit to help build Australia’s sustainable economy. We are actively using our expertise to support the development of hydrogen as energy storage. We are delighted to work with LAVO to be the first Australian organisation to install their innovative hydrogen battery system.”
