How Automation is Powering Australia’s Green Transition

As Australia expands its renewable energy infrastructure, battery energy storage is becoming essential to a stable and reliable grid. Battery Energy Storage Systems allow clean energy to be stored and released when needed, but to work effectively, they require more than just the right equipment. They need intelligent control systems that monitor, manage and respond in real time.

With more than 35 years of engineering experience, Cromarty Automation is helping deliver this capability with proven automation frameworks that power BESS performance. Through tools like our proprietary 8Legs software, we are supporting clients across the country with smart integration, better visibility and reliable control.

Automation That Supports Smarter Energy

We partner with utilities, developers and operators to provide end-to-end automation for renewable infrastructure. Our services include:

• SCADA systems that deliver clear operational insight and performance monitoring
• Automation frameworks for Battery Energy Storage Systems that manage charge cycles, power flow and market response
• Custom PLC solutions for small-scale solar and wind generation that simplify management and improve system uptime

From feasibility to full-scale deployment, our work helps energy operators maintain uptime, meet compliance standards, and scale with confidence.

Renewable Energy Systems That Deliver

Our focus is on enabling better performance and control for small-scale renewable energy projects, including solar farms, wind installations and hybrid battery systems. We provide tailored automation and SCADA solutions that streamline energy production, simplify site monitoring and reduce manual intervention.

These systems help operators meet compliance goals, improve asset visibility and integrate more effectively with AEMO and network requirements.
