R&D Technology has been engineering and supporting DC power systems across Australia for over two decades. Whether you need a new system designed from the ground up, or you have an existing Powerhouse Systems installation that requires an upgrade or retrofit to modern technology, our engineering and Service team has the expertise to deliver the right solution for your site.
Our DC power systems are widely used throughout Australia, providing essential and backup power across a broad range of critical infrastructure and industrial applications, including:
We supply and engineer DC power solutions for commercial and industrial operations across industries including hospitals, airports, power transmission, water utilities, renewables, communications infrastructure, mining (hard rock, coal, rare earth and mineral), oil and gas, and general industrial and manufacturing.
Unlike a single-brand reseller, R&D Technology engineers each DC system independently. We specify from a range of leading platforms, including Rectifier Technologies, Omnion Power, Benning, and others, selecting the right combination of technology, capacity, and features for your application, budget, and site requirements.
Our DC solutions are scalable and built for maximum reliability in the most efficient package. Our engineering team engages directly with you to solve your specific site requirements, whether that’s a straightforward replacement or a complex multi-string system with advanced battery management and SCADA integration.
Our engineering team specialises in the assessment and upgrade of legacy phase control DC systems, including Powerhouse Systems installations, to modern, high-efficiency switch mode rectifier technology.
We engineer each upgrade around your existing infrastructure and operational constraints, specifying the best platform for your needs. The result is a system designed for your application, not just the next product off a shelf.
Modern switch mode systems offer significant advantages over legacy phase control technology:
R&D Technology has manufactured and supported DC power systems under the Powerhouse Systems brand since 2005, building one of Australia’s largest install bases of phase control DC chargers across mining, utilities, infrastructure, and industry.
If you have a Powerhouse Systems unit in the field, you’re in the right place. We hold the original IP and our engineering team understands these systems in depth. Original spare PCBs are extremely limited, which makes now the right time to consider a planned upgrade to modern switch mode rectifier technology. Our team can assess your existing installation and design a cost-effective, low-disruption upgrade path tailored to your site.
Our Powerhouse Systems modular DC power systems. Along with solutions from Rectifier Technologies, Omnion Power, Benning, and other leading platforms, provide clean, reliable DC power to sensitive equipment while simultaneously charging the battery bank and supplying backup power during mains failure.
