POWER CONVERGENCE

What does this mean?

  • Power activities which were once separate and distinct are now converging

  • The lines are progressively being blurred

  • Examples include hybrid systems, demand management, distributed generation

Aligning our capabilities

  • At the same time, activities that were once undertaken by individual MPower companies are now converging under Tag

  • We are aligning our capabilities to the new trends that are emerging

  • Potential to extract synergies from existing activities

  • The aim is to ensure we are best placed to capture future opportunities

POWER CONVERGENCE

Example – hybrid systems

  • Australia has many remote communities that rely on diesel power

  • These power systems can be supplemented with solar to create a hybrid system

  • Adding a power storage capability and sophisticated control systems can increase solar viability

  • In this way the various elements of the overall power system have converged

  • Multiple areas of expertise are involved – previously this would have required a variety of suppliers

  • MPower has the full range of capabilities in-house, giving it a distinct advantage

  • Solar and diesel design and engineering expertise

  • Access to solar, battery and inverter products

  • Remote area installation expertise

  • Power conversion, storage and stability experience

TAG PACIFIC LIMITED

19

==> picture [664 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

POWER CONVERGENCE

Example – trigeneration

  • Trigeneration power systems use gas powered generators to produce electricity, hot water and chilled water

  • Lower carbon footprint than grid power leading to green star improvements

  • Provide base load power on site – supplemented by power from the grid

  • Backup power systems are usually also required

  • There are multiple elements to the site’s overall power requirement

  • The technology has converged and knowledge of each of the elements is needed

  • MPower has the full range of capabilities in-house

  • Site analysis

  • System engineering and design

  • HVAC intellectual property

  • Control system and interconnection point expertise

  • Installation, commissioning and maintenance
