News
The world of energy never stands still — and neither do we. On this page, you can read the latest news about Voet Energy Solutions: from innovations in temporary and sustainable energy, to stories from our colleagues and developments within our organization.
Voet Energy Solutions Purchases 20 New Battery Systems
Voet has invested in 20 new battery systems, with the largest units offering 1 MWh storage capacity and a 1 MW inverter. This allows us to meet our customers’ sustainable and technical demands even more effectively. By investing in these battery packs, Voet demonstrates green and innovative entrepreneurship.
New at Voet: The Blue Hybrid Box
Voet Energy Solutions introduces the Blue Hybrid Box — a 20ft container with an integrated battery pack and generator. Back in 2018, we launched a hybrid generator in a single enclosure with a capacity of 30 kVA, and now we have one with much more power. This new unit delivers a peak output of 0.6 MVA.
How Does a Synchronous Grid Takeover Work?
Our backup power solutions are regularly used for synchronous grid takeovers — for example, when a grid operator such as Liander performs maintenance work on the network. To ensure that users are not affected by these activities, the switchover is carried out synchronously. In this article, we explain how it works and what needs to be considered during such a process.
How Does a Hydrogen Generator Work?
It will come as no surprise that Voet Energy Solutions focuses on sustainability. But how do we achieve that in a world that has long relied on diesel generators? We do it with hydrogen generators. Soon, you will be able to rent this sustainable backup power solution from us!
Dual Fuel Generators
Earlier, we wrote about the hydrogen generator. Hydrogen can also be used in combination with diesel. Voet is currently exploring the possibilities of deploying dual fuel generators. Such a system can run an engine on two types of fuel. A similar technology is already used in cars that run on gas.
New at Voet: Mobile Fast Chargers
Voet Energy Solutions has expanded its range with mobile DC chargers. A Tesla Model 3 can be charged from 5% to 80% in half an hour using our mobile fast chargers. The fast chargers can be applied in various ways; Voet offers multiple power variants and payment systems.
The Impact of Biofuels and Fuel Management
Instead of using conventional diesel in an emergency generator, you can also opt for biofuels. When combined with strict fuel management, this can significantly reduce (CO₂) emissions. Below, we explain the options and their effects.
Smart Grid: Distributing Energy Flows Intelligently
The imbalance between energy supply and demand causes fluctuations in electricity flow. A Smart Grid is an intelligent energy network that uses measurement and control systems to smooth out these fluctuations. In this knowledge article, we explain why Smart Grid technology is important now and will be even more crucial in the future.
Energy Transition Hampered by the Dutch Power Grid
The electricity grid is under heavy strain. As a result, solar panels are increasingly being shut down—precisely when the sun is shining, they produce nothing. One of the main causes is the massive growth in the number of solar panels in recent years.
Voet Meets Safety Culture Ladder Level 3
Since August 2021, Voet has met all requirements for Level 3 on the Safety Culture Ladder, formerly known as the Safety Ladder. With this, we demonstrate as an organization how important safety is to us, and we work together to ensure conscious safe behaviour in our workplace.
