stable energy delivery
Key Results
Diesel generators are commonly used in civil engineering. The main reason is the lack of available grid connection in the locations that work is being done. Together with van Hattum & Blankenvoort and KoCo KSM Holland Greener have proven that batteries can be a viable alternative for these stinky fossil fuel burners.
Problem: peak demand of electric equipment
A lack of available grid connections often means that infrastructure projects rely on diesel generators for their electricity. In this project in Amstelveen, over 100,000 stud welds were planned, of which a large number were extra thick 25 mm pin dowels. Normally a 500 KVA generator would be needed to provide the energy peak that these welds require.
Solution: peak shaving with Greener batteries
In this project we were able to prove that our batteries can function as stand-alone power sources or can be used for peak shaving. Tower cranes, lifts and welding equipment are often the determinants for a massive outlay of temporary grid connections. Using our batteries for peak shaving reduces fuel consumption, and reduces cost outlays for grid connections.
“Power supply is very important to us. We would like to supply a complete product for our client, but the amount of power that is needed always remains a challenge because welding 25mm pin dowels uses much more power than the rest of the construction site.”
