● Context:
To achieve becoming the most sustainable equestrian center in the Netherlands, the client required a comprehensive energy solution that could effectively utilize the solar energy generated on-site while overcoming the challenges posed by the local grid constraints.
● Provocare:
The equestrian center faced several hurdles in its quest for sustainability. The center installed 604 solar panels to harness solar energy, but the local limited grid capacity prevented the facility from feeding a significant amount of this energy back into the grid. To maximize the use of the generated solar power and avoid the costs associated with grid upgrades, a robust energy storage solution was essential.
● Soluție:
POWEROAD, with its extensive experience in energy storage solutions, provided a customized solution to meet the needs of the equestrian center. This project installed a 215 kWh POWEROAD FLEX 215 ESS that effectively stores excess solar energy generated during the day. This stored energy is then used to power the equestrian center and provide electricity to the adjacent golf park, especially for its nighttime irrigation system.
Additionally, the center left space in the fence surrounding the ESS installation for future expansion. Thanks to the standardized design of POWEROAD ESS, scaling up the system will be seamless, reducing investment costs and providing flexibility for increased capacity in the future.
POWEROAD’s self-developed EMS further optimizes energy use by preventing unnecessary feed-in to the congested local grid, ensuring that the maximum amount of solar energy is used on-site. This innovative approach allowed the equestrian center to operate efficiently without requiring a larger grid connection, thus aligning perfectly with their sustainability goals.
● Repere:
- POWEROAD’s customized energy storage solution effectively addressed the equestrian center’s grid capacity limitations. The solution not only meets current energy needs but also provides flexibility for future expansion.
- POWEROAD’s energy storage system integrates seamlessly with the equestrian center’s existing solar panels, enabling self-consumption of generated energy and significantly reducing dependency on external power sources, thus enhancing overall economic efficiency.
- Thisproject reduces carbon emissions and environmental pollution, underscoring the center’s commitment to environmental protection through optimized energy use.
- The standardized design of POWEROAD’s ESS highlights the scalability of the custom solution, leaving room for future expansion and adjustments in grid requirements.
● Valoarea proiectului:
The equestrian center achieved notable economic benefits by reducing electricity costs and dependency on the external energy sources, lowering operational risks. The project’s contribution to carbon reduction and pollution control supports environmental protection, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability. As a center dedicated to sustainable development, it demonstrates corporate social responsibility, elevating its brand image and reputation. Additionally, this project showcases POWEROAD’s capability in addressing energy limitations, providing a valuable model for similar future projects.
