Smart Microgrid

The Dutch energy network is under high pressure. Electricity demand is increasing, renewable energy sources are growing and the electrification of our society is accelerating. All this leads to grid congestion: a situation in which the demand for electricity or its supply exceeds the transmission capacity of the electricity grid.

Grid congestion can disrupt your business plans. It can result in delays in expansion, problems implementing sustainable solutions, and even difficulties connecting to the electricity grid. Fortunately, there is a solution: the Smart Microgrid.

What is a Smart Microgrid?

A Smart Microgrid is a intelligent energy system which is specially designed to grid congestion eliminate and help companies accelerate their energy transition. The system consists of a smart combination of battery storage, advanced control software and the integration of renewable energy sources. It acts as a buffer between your business and the grid.

A Smart Microgrid consists of a combination of:

• Battery storage: Energy is efficiently stored during periods of low demand and made available during peak times.
• Advanced control software: This software continuously monitors your energy consumption, dynamically adjusts energy sources and reacts immediately to changes in energy demand.
• Integration of renewable energy sources: The system is designed to work seamlessly with solar and other renewable sources.

Thanks to the modular and scalable nature of the Smart Microgrid, it can be tailored to the unique needs of each company and is quick to implement.

How does a Smart Microgrid combat grid congestion?

A Smart Microgrid functions as a buffer between your company and the electricity grid. During peak times, when demand for electricity is high and the grid is at risk of becoming overloaded, a Smart Microgrid can supply the energy stored in its batteries. This relieves the grid and prevents congestion. By store energy During off-peak hours, when demand is low and electricity is cheaper, and using this energy during peak hours, a Smart Microgrid reduces your company's peak demand on the grid. A Smart Microgrid can participate in imbalance services. This means that it feeds energy back into the grid when there is a shortage.
