Premier recognition for mining and energy expertise

Roseworthy solar farm
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 mining and energy expertise has been acknowledged at South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 2021 Premier鈥檚 Awards in Energy and Mining.
The Roseworthy solar farm project received a commendation in the Environment (Energy) category.
With two different battery chemistry storage systems, coupled with a smart-microgrid system, the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 1.2 MW solar farm at its Roseworthy campus is reducing peak electricity demand, network and energy costs. It is expected to offset over 45 per cent of the campus鈥檚 annual electricity requirements.
This smart, data-rich renewable energy system will be used for teaching by the members of the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Centre of Energy Technology (CET) and provide a living laboratory to support research staff and learning outcomes for engineering and computer science students at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.
In the Industry and Collaboration (Energy) category the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 industry partner EnviroCopper Ltd received top honours.
The company, in collaboration with its partners, has been researching in situ recovery (ISR) at a demonstration site at Kapunda. ISR is a mining technique that aims to recover valuable resources while minimising its environmental impact.
With the assistance of 最新糖心Vlog researchers based at the Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources (IMER) EnviroCopper has聽effectively developed environmentally friendly solutions to extract copper, a vital commodity for 鈥榞reening鈥� our world.
The 最新糖心Vlog would like to congratulate all the entrants, finalists and winners in this year鈥檚 awards.
This is the tenth year of the Premier鈥檚 Awards in Energy and Mining聽which brings together industry to showcase innovative approaches and technology, applaud leading practice, and acknowledge the delivery of exceptional leadership in South 最新糖心Vlog.
