We completed the preliminary modelling and analysis of Murray Engineering’s new warehouse load requirements and proposed that a 700kW to 1MW rooftop solar system would provide them with the greatest value for money. In October 2021, we were contracted by Murray Engineering to complete the FEED study report for the system. In addition to the FEED report we have been helping the client navigate their way through the connection process with Western Power.
FEED Studies
Perth Airport – Front End Engineering Design Report for a 5MWp Solar Farm
In November 2021, Perth Airport awarded Sunrise the contract to complete the FEED for a 5MWp solar farm. The FEED includes the activities and engineering design work that needs to be undertaken to accurately cost the capital investment of the project. The FEED report includes such things as the preliminary electrical drawings, solar farm grid connection, integration and communication report and a procurement and construction schedule. Our report also documents the key risks that remain on the project, the likelihood, and consequences of them occurring and the proposed mitigation measures we can undertake to reduce them.
Infinite Green Energy (IGE): Arrowsmith Green Hydrogen Plant
Sunrise have been providing consultancy services to IGE since 2017 to help develop their hydrogen processing plant concept. In early 2020, IGE contracted us to complete the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) report for the renewable power supply for stage 1 of their proposed Arrowsmith hydrogen plant.
The plant has been designed to scale up as demand for hydrogen grows making it one of the world’s largest renewable hydrogen production facilities. In collaboration with Avora Energy and Jarrah Solutions we designed a 65MW solar farm, a 90MW wind farm and smart sub-station for the plant. We also provided modelling and analysis as to whether a battery energy storage system (BESS) could add value to the project. Included in this modelling was analysis of the economic value of market participation in regard to selling and buying energy at WEM balancing rates.
Collgar Wind Farm (CWF) – Front End Engineering Design Report for a 5MWp Solar Farm and 1MWh BESS
In August 2022, CWF awarded Sunrise the contract to complete the FEED for a 5MWp solar farm. The FEED includes the activities and engineering design work that needs to be undertaken to accurately cost the capital investment of the project. Integral to this FEED report is the design of the control system so that the solar PV can be integrated with the existing Vestas control system and AMSC’s reactive power units whilst maintaining technical compliance.
The FEED report also included such things as the preliminary electrical drawings, solar farm grid connection, integration and communication report and a procurement and construction schedule.
Our report also documents the key risks that remain on the project, the likelihood, and consequences of them occurring and the proposed mitigation measures we can undertake to reduce them.
Testimonials
Working with Sunrise and their partners for delivery of a 3MW Solar Farm at Boonanarring was a positive experience. They demonstrated not only a deep knowledge of renewable energy systems but were focussed on understanding our needs as a company and making sure they focussed on how these could best be served. Our satisfaction with the work done by Sunrise and their partners has led to an on-going relationship with Sunrise and they are our first point of call when seeking advice and solutions around renewable energy based projects.

Chief Operating Officer
Sunrise Energy Group (Sunrise) and it’s partners (Avora Energy and Jarrah Solutions) were instrumental to the development of the Peel Industrial Renewable Energy Microgrid. They took on the lead roles of design, project management and construction of key components of this first-of-its-kind microgrid, notably with regards to the embedded generation and storage assets, the control and protection scheme and obtaining the approvals to operate and connection to the SWIS grid. Sunrise’s involvement demonstrated and highlighted their ability to navigate the complex landscape of regulations, network connections and operating licences in the WA market and was crucial to making the Peel Industrial Renewable Energy microgrid both a reality and ongoing success.

General Manager
In delivering an off-grid renewable power system at our facility located in the South-West, Sunrise Energy Group and their partners proved to be a very capable, proactive and trustworthy supplier. The excellent performance of our system made it easy to select Sunrise as our partner of choice for delivery of similar systems at other properties and has also resulted in an ongoing relationship with Sunrise as we collaborate on other renewable energy based endeavours
