synchronous grid switchovers every year
Synchronous grid switchovers for an uninterrupted energy supply
Your organisation runs on power, so downtime isn't an option. Yet sometimes, temporary shutdowns are unavoidable - due to grid maintenance, upgrades or replacements. As specialists in synchronous grid switchovers, we temporarily take over your primary power supply - without disrupting your operations.

Specialists in synchronous grid switchovers
Every week, we perform over 50 synchronous grid switchovers for customers including grid operators, hospitals and data centers. We provide the full package: certified professionals, the right equipment and well-thought-out work processes. We temporarily take over your energy supply, without users even noticing.
When is a synchronous grid switchover needed (SNO)?
A synchronous grid switchover provides a solution when the power supply cannot be interrupted, for example:
During grid maintenance, replacement or repairs
During grid capacity upgrades
At essential sites, such as hospitals and data centers
When there are industrial processes that must remain operational
Every type of synchronous grid switchover
With our modern rental fleet, we carry out various types of synchronous grid switchover, at both low and medium voltage levels:
With or without bypass and reference cables
With battery containers for emission-free grid switchovers
With hybrid generators for extended needs
With standard power units for industrial environments
With transformer containers for low/medium voltage grids

Wireless synchronisation
Voet actively contributes to the energy solutions of the future. Our proprietary innovation, the Wireless Synchronisation Box, is a prime example of that. In complex medium-voltage installations, finding a reference point can be a challenge, but our synchronisation box allows a wireless reference point to be created. This allows synchronisation at hard-to-access sites and across long distances – a technological breakthrough that plays a crucial role in synchronous switching where it would otherwise be impossible.

What is a synchronous grid switchover?
A synchronous grid switchover (SGS) is the temporary takeover of the power supply by an alternative energy source (such as a generator or battery system), without any noticeable interruption to the power supply.
How does a synchronous grid switchover work?
During a synchronous grid switchover, a generator is first synchronized with the electrical grid. Once the voltage and frequency are aligned, the generator takes over the load without interruption. This allows the grid connection to be safely disconnected for maintenance or other work.
Can a synchronous grid switchover also be carried out using batteries?
Yes, mobile battery systems and hybrid solutions can be connected to the grid and take over the load, providing an emission-free solution. This is particularly beneficial in urban areas and low-emission zones.
How long does a synchronous grid switchover take?
The actual transfer usually takes place within a few seconds. Before the switchover, a short synchronization phase is required to align the systems with each other.
