Sfondo

Tulips are a cultural icon of the Netherlands and a major export product, supported by one of the most advanced horticulture sectors in the world. Modern greenhouse farming techniques ensure high-quality production throughout the year but also drive significant energy demand.

Greenhouse operations rely on energy-intensive climate control, lighting, and irrigation systems, leading to high electricity demand and increasing operational costs.

Sfida

The push for energy efficiency and sustainability introduces several challenges:

High Electricity Consumption due to advanced greenhouse technology.
Dynamic Energy Prices, making cost management unpredictable.
Grid Congestion, limiting the ability to export surplus solar energy.

The client need a solution that delivers energy independence, cost optimization without requiring large footprints or compromising safety.

Soluzione

To address these challenges, POWEROAD implemented a 2MW / 4.3MWh Air Cooling outdoor battery storage systems, integrated with their own 2,250 kWp solar PV installation.

Key Features of Our Solution:

Compact Footprint: Each outdoor battery cabinet covers only 2 m², maximizing space efficiency.
Robust Protection: IP55 safety design with weatherproof and corrosion-resistant enclosures for reliable outdoor operation.
Easy Capacità Expansion: Up to MWh-level capacity, design to support future growth.
10-Year Warranty: Long-term assurance for performance and durability.
Smart Energy Management: Real-time monitoring and automated control to respond to dynamic electricity prices.

Valore del progetto

Over 8 years of global operations in C&I markets, POWEROAD ensures safe,reliable performance for its users.

This PV-ESS solution delivers measurable benefits:

Self-Consumption of Solar Energy: Excess solar power is stored and used during peak demand, reducing grid dependence.
Grid Congestion Relief: By consuming and storing energy on-site, the system alleviates pressure on the local grid.
Smart Energy Management: An advanced EMS continuously monitors market conditions, allowing the system to respond smartly to dynamic electricity prices.
Spot Power Trading: The system can later participate in the imbalance market, unlocking additional revenue opportunities.

With a compact, safe, and future-ready energy storage solution, the Dutch tulip growers can achieve greater efficiency, profitability, and sustainability.
