The advantage of the to other grid-connected PV systems as well. method is that it does not require disconnection of PV panels for output measurement and therefore is easy, yet effective and efficient to implement. In addition to this innovative method, 1.

As electricity demand on the Island Renewable Energy Supply Project grows, the PV system is now being expanded as the second and final stage development. By end 2012, a total of 180kW PV panels will be commissioned. With the PV system entering the operation phase, conventional engineering problems in failure prevention for PV panels are unavoidable. To provide a stable and reliable power source to serve the basic needs of residents on the Island, an effective approach to identify potential failures among hundreds of PV panels is necessary. - 1.1 - Operation & Maintenance Initiatives and Practices of the Standalone PV System on Town Island 2.

    2018 Newington Medal - International Ronald Lu (ON 1962) Ronald Lu entered Newington in Term III, 1959 and completed his secondary education at the end of his Sixth Form year in 1962. Considered “a student of steady application and reasonable achievement”, he obtained B class passes in English, Mathematics I & II, French and Physics in the State Leaving Certificate examination. In 1962 he was awarded the ONU Service Prize for Shooting. Ron attended University of Sydney to study Dentistry, although his passion was Architecture. He made the change to study Architecture at the University of NSW where he graduated with honours. He followed this with a post- graduate degree in Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US where he graduated in 1973 with a Master of Architecture in Advanced Studies. In 1976 he founded Ronald Lu and Partners (RLP) in Hong Kong. RLP is dedicated to the delivery of world-class projects across the globe. The firm has become a specialist in delivering high-density, mixed-use developments especially Transport-Oriented Development over rail stations in response to the demands of Asia’s modern fast- growing economies. Under Ron’s stewardship RLP has become the leading architecture practice in Asia. With over 500 staff, they are headquartered in Hong Kong with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Ron’s work has been globally recognised winning many international architecture awards and has partnered with the internationally renowned Frank Gehry on Gehry’s first two projects in Asia. RLP is committed to charity and social responsibility with the firm being awarded the Caring Company Logo for six consecutive years.
