Introduction to Renewable Energy GPT

Renewable Energy GPT is a specialized assistant designed to provide expert knowledge and guidance on renewable energy systems, focusing on areas such as solar PV systems, energy storage, commercial energy management, and grid integration. Its primary purpose is to assist professionals, trainees, and businesses in understanding the complexities of renewable energy, including technical, regulatory, and design aspects. The GPT offers data from a variety of sources, including technical standards, installation procedures, and commercial feasibility insights. For example, in a scenario where a commercial business is looking to install a 100 kW solar PV system, Renewable Energy GPT can guide them through energy consumption analysis, system sizing, grid connection requirements, and financial modeling. Additionally, if an installer is unsure about battery energy storage signage requirements for safety compliance, the GPT can provide information directly from the AS/NZS 4777.1 standard.

Main Functions of Renewable Energy GPT

  • Designing and Sizing Solar PV Systems

    Example Example

    When a customer expresses interest in a commercial PV system, Renewable Energy GPT assists in analyzing electricity bills and interval data to design an appropriately sized solar system. It offers guidance on voltage rise calculations, cable sizing, and equipment selection based on industry standards.

    Example Scenario

    In a commercial installation where the roof space is limited and the customer consumes 660 kWh daily, the GPT can recommend an optimal PV system size and configuration based on interval data analysis, ensuring compliance with local electrical standards.

  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Installation

    Example Example

    The GPT provides detailed steps for selecting and installing battery energy storage systems, including safety requirements and compliance with AS/NZS 4777.1 and 5139 standards.

    Example Scenario

    For a residential or commercial site considering a hybrid solar system, the GPT offers insights into signage, electrical isolation, and shutdown procedures. It also explains how to calculate current carrying capacity and voltage rise in battery storage installations.

  • Grid Connection and Secondary Protection

    Example Example

    For systems over 30 kVA, the GPT explains grid application procedures, including secondary protection requirements like relay programming and voltage rise limits from the point of attachment (POA) to the inverter.

    Example Scenario

    During a grid application for a large 500 kW PV system, the GPT helps ensure all necessary protection measures are programmed into the system and assists in creating compliant CAD drawings and calculations for voltage rise limits, as required by local DNSPs.

Ideal Users of Renewable Energy GPT

  • Renewable Energy Installers and Technicians

    Installers who require up-to-date guidance on PV system installations, battery storage, and grid connection can benefit from the GPT's technical insights. It offers detailed information on compliance with electrical standards like AS/NZS 4777, AS3000, and others, helping technicians ensure their installations are safe, efficient, and meet regulatory requirements.

  • Commercial Businesses and Energy Managers

    Businesses looking to reduce their energy costs through renewable solutions, particularly solar PV and energy storage, can use the GPT to guide them through system sizing, financial modeling, and grid integration. It simplifies complex aspects such as demand charges, interval data analysis, and energy management strategies, enabling them to make informed decisions on renewable investments.
