Powerplan

A power plan is one of the most important steps to save energy and costs. Establishing a good power plan is therefore an important part of our services. We explain how we arrive at the best power plan with our “Powerplan” software on this page.

Start planning your power consumption

In many cases, a project’s power supply can be at least half as efficient. In practice, we can often achieve a CO₂ reduction of 30 to 100% on site.

Better planning of the energy supply helps enormously. This allows you to make better choices in the deployment of batteries, grid connections, hydrogen, solar panels, wind turbines and generators.

Power supply can be 50% more efficient in 4 out of 5 cases

When we first started monitoring the power consumption at festivals, it quickly became clear that the power supply for these types of projects can be at least 50% more efficient. This is because diesel generators are used for less than 20% of their capacity in four out of five cases.

We now know that this is not only the case at festivals, but also in construction, in ports and airports, for temporary projects run by network operators, and for seasonal consumers such as campsites, where a diesel generator is now often used.

Three important steps how Greener achieves a good power plan

1. Make an inventory of energy demand
Make an inventory of how much power energy consumers use for each piece of equipment. The more accurately this is done, the more efficient the power plan becomes. We ask suppliers to provide their energy needs in as much detail as possible. They can supply this information directly to our Powerplan software, or import it from a previous year.
2. Create power zones
We assign energy consumers to ‘power zones’, then we select the best power source for each zone. We do this with the help of a prediction of the energy consumption and our optimization algorithm. If there is no data, we make an estimate based on experience.
3. Clear reports for installers
A report makes it clear to the installers which equipment, cables and distribution boxes are needed, and where they should be placed. This means that installers know exactly what is required, and we avoid a (costly) excess of power supply.

Powerplan software

Powerplan uses a predictive algorithm that uses our expert knowledge, combined with data on how energy is consumed in a wide variety of cases, to predict a consumption profile for new projects.

You can search for a combination of power sources yourself, or let our optimization model calculate the optimal solution for your specific situation.

Power zones and users

In Powerplan, energy users are divided into power zones. Based on the expected energy demand of all users, you determine the infrastructure needed for a reliable power supply. Several parties can work simultaneously on a project to enter the data relevant to them.

Powerplan also registers which infrastructure is already present. A small grid connection or a few solar panels, for example, can be included in the optimisation. Next, the Powerplan algorithm makes a proposal for the energy storage and generation that is needed.

Because everything is linked, adding or removing a user is no problem at all. Powerplan immediately shows where changes occur or problems arise.

Predicting power consumption

On the basis of a fully developed power plan, an accurate estimate can be made of the expected energy consumption at any time. In addition, peak consumption can be better predicted. Both help to create a reliable power plan, without overcapacity.

Predicting energy consumption is not only important in the preparation of the project. Also during the project, our autonomous control software and forecasting always guarantee the most optimal energy generation.
