Multi-spectrum Inspections
TransGrid has recently implemented an advanced targeted asset inspections
program using combined photographic, infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV)
cameras to identify issues which are outside of the visual spectrum and in a
single flight
This aids in identifying issues which can't be detected from visual inspection
alone and allows repairs to be planned in advance of a failure, driving pro-
active and optimal asset management while reducing network risks
Communication Network Upgrades
A multi-year strategy has been created to deploy advanced communications
infrastructure (MPLS-TP). This new network is envisaged to better enable data
intensive inter-substation communications, support increasing needs for
advanced cyber and physical security systems, and enable faster more reliable
wide-area enterprise traffic solutions
Upon completion in 2023 TransGrid will become the leader among Australian
Transmission Network Service Providers (TNSPs) as the first to integrate
protection-signaling across a Carrier Ethernet system

Bifacial Solar Panels
Bomen Solar Farm became the first major project completed in Australia to
install bifacial modular panels which produce up to 20% more output, delivering
higher efficiencies and lower levelised costs of electricity (LCOE) when
compared to monofacial panel technologies
The technology is one of the most recent innovations in the industry which
utilises the direct sunlight on the face of the panel whilst also picking up
reflected sun from the ground received on the rear side of the panels
Community Partnership Programs
In partnership with Westpac, Spark Infrastructure has established a community
fund to invest $1 million over ten years to support youth education and local
biodiversity and vegetation programs
$350,000 of these funds will be used to undertake a revegetation program to
enhance biodiversity in the proximity of the Bomen precinct. It is anticipated
planting would occur during the winter months of 2021/22 and would include
between 40,000 and 50,000 plants
