Increasing demand for reliable power and a growing emphasis on sustainability calls for innovative solutions.
The energy sector is undergoing a period of unprecedented transformation. The rise of renewables, changing energy needs and the continued push for decarbonisation are driving the industry’s increasing need for cutting‑edge solutions.
Decon Corporation is at the forefront of Australia’s transition, revolutionising energy management through a data‑driven approach that optimises energy networks and enhances demand management.
Decon leverages real-time data from over 200 client assets across Australia, monitoring everything from equipment performance to grid conditions.
This comprehensive data collection enables Decon to move beyond reactive maintenance and predict potential issues before they arise, enhancing grid resilience and optimising energy consumption.
Predictive maintenance
Decon’s advanced and sophisticated control systems proactively identify and address potential concerns with critical infrastructure, including generators, hybrid systems, and the innovative Smart Power Cell (SPC).
The SPC is a transportable, off-grid power solution deployed at over 80 communication sites across Australia. It combines advanced technologies like battery storage systems, fuel cells, wind turbines and solar panels to provide reliable and sustainable backup power during emergencies.
At the heart of the SPC is a high-performance sodium metal chloride battery, which offers exceptional durability and longevity, even in extreme weather conditions. This battery is complemented by fuel cells, wind turbines and solar panels, providing a diverse and reliable energy mix.
During the devastating 2024 storms and floods that impacted Victoria and Tasmania, the resilience of Decon’s SPC units was put to the test. Deployed at seven critical communication sites across the affected regions, these units ensured uninterrupted service despite widespread power outages.
Decon’s advanced monitoring systems provided real-time data on the performance of each SPC unit, enabling proactive adjustments and ensuring optimal operation throughout the crisis. The SPC units collectively provided over 95 hours of off-grid power, demonstrating their crucial role in maintaining essential communication services. This enabled residents to stay connected with emergency services, receive critical information and access support during such a challenging period. By ensuring the continued operation of communication infrastructure, the SPC units played a vital role in supporting emergency response efforts and maintaining community resilience during the crisis.
This case study highlights the critical role of the SPC in ensuring reliable and sustainable power supply in even the most challenging circumstances. By combining advanced technologies like sodium metal chloride batteries with intelligent control systems, Decon delivers resilient and sustainable power solutions that empower communities and drive a more sustainable energy future.
