The Safe Design of large-scale solar and BESS systems

Registration:

REGISTRATIONS STRICTLY CLOSE 6:30 pm ACST Tuesday18th June 2024

Timing:

This will be a In Person (Adelaide) with the presentation from 5:30pm - 6:30pm ACDT Wednesday 19th June 2024.

Synopsis:

This presentation provides the overview, findings and recommendations from numerous Safety in Design activities in the context of standalone large-scale solar or Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and the integrated Solar-BESS.

With the increase in the adoption of renewable energy sources to achieve the target of net zero emissions, solar photovoltaic (PV) generation has been regarded as one of the best renewable energy sources.

A BESS, combined with renewable energy production sources such as solar, can provide stable energy generation with storage of energy and fast injection of energy when the electricity grid requires it.

Adoption of this new integrated technology also presents some risks, which require careful lifecycle planning and early identification of hazards to implement the control measures for the overall lifecycle of the system. ‘Safety in Design’ is one approach to identifying hazards associated with the lifecycle of such a system during the design process.

Speaker:

Lovepreet Samrao, Mechanical Systems Engineer at Engineering. Systems. Management.

Lovepreet is a Mechanical Systems Engineer with experience in hazard identification exercises such as Safety in Design, HAZOPs, CHAZOPs and FMEA. Lovepreet holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree focused on Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Australia (UniSA). Lovepreet has been extensively involved in Safety in Design activities of renewable systems such as solar farms and Battery Energised Storage Systems.

Free EESA Member Discount Code

You may notice that the new EESA website automatically applies the member discounts to EESA event registrations when members are logged in. However, as the SA Chapter is hosting events with EventBrite, we have created these promo codes to apply member discounts when registering with EventBrite.

EESA members please enter your Promotional Code first at Ticket Box. This is a unique code generated for you with your name and membership number, with spaces and punctuation removed. Please use the following to work out your discount code using your last name (as entered into the last name field in your membership profile). The following examples apply for membership number 12345678 and various last names:

• Last name of "Bloggs" is BLOGGS12345678
• Last name of "O'Bloggs" is OBLOGGS12345678
• Last name of "B-C D'e Gg-Hh" is BCDEGGHH12345678

EESA Members can find their member number on the EESA website when they login. For any further assistance working out your free access code please email sachapter.eesa@gmail.com

FAQ's

What is my member number?

• Login to the EESA website, and it'll tell you after a successful login. https://www.eesa.org.au/login If you need help with login in, follow the prompts and advice with EESA and the contact form if necessary.

Why is it saying my registration discount code has already been used?

• You've possibly already activated the discount code, and let the registration process time out. It only works once to avoid people sharing their discount codes, so please contact us (email above) for assistance to reactivate your code.

How do I buy tickets for multiple people?

• Sorry, we don't allow bulk ticket purchases because we'd prefer people to register individually. This way, it gives the individuals attending the opportunity to remain connected with EESA on EventBrite, which any individual at any stage can unsubscribe from.

Why is my member code not accepted, even though I'm a member?

• Sorry about this, there are few occurrences every presentation where this happens as there can be a small delay before we can see your membership in the database. Please contact us (email above) for help with this if required. Hopefully by the next SA Chapter event, your membership status will not only be activated but visible to the SA Chapter organisers creating your discount codes.
• Be sure to read the above advice on working out what your discount code is very carefully. Thanks!
