Jiangsu, China and Melbourne, Australia

Jiangyin Kinematics Manufacturing Co., Ltd (KMI (Jiangyin)) and RayGen Resources Pty Ltd (RayGen) have recently formalised a strategic alliance that will include the supply of world-leading, reliable slew drives for RayGen’s Solar Power Plant (‘solar hydro’) technology.

The first project under this alliance will be a fully dispatchable renewable energy facility delivering 4MW of solar generation and 3MW/50MWh (17 hours) of storage. RayGen is partnering with major Australian power utility AGL on the feasibility stage of the project. RayGen recently secured $3 million AUD funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to advance the project to financial close in 2020. The project will be located in Carwarp, Australia.

KMI (Jiangyin) MD Ray Lin said: “KMI (Jiangyin) has known and worked with RayGen for 10 years and believe they are world leaders in the field. We stand ready to provide technical support and our high-performance components into the future as they pursue exponential growth to satisfy world markets with their innovative, low cost and clean power systems.

“Our strategic alliance allows us to supply of highly accurate and highly reliable slew drives for large scale deployment of RayGen’s PV Ultra systems. We believe that this technology can be competitive with coal power, matching the reliability and cost at large scale.”

RayGen CEO Richard Payne said: “We are excited to announce our strategic alliance with KMI (Jiangyin) who have world-leading capability in slew drive technology.

“With KMI (Jiangyin)’s highly accurate and highly reliable slew drives, RayGen is capable of large scale deployment of our PV Ultra and solar hydro systems.”
