Grid congestion

Grid congestion what is that?

Grid congestion occurs when the demand for electricity exceeds the capacity of the grid. The electricity grid becomes increasingly congested. Companies wait months for a (heavier) connection or even get rejected.

The cause? More and more companies are using more electricity. Think of charging stations, heat pumps or expansion of production. But the network is not yet equipped for this. There is a lack of sufficient capacity in cables and transformer stations. As a result, the power grid gets jammed at peak times and network operators have to reject or postpone requests.

This has a direct effect on business planning, costs and sustainability. Companies looking to grow or become more sustainable get stuck because of the congested power grid.

Why is grid congestion a problem for businesses?

Grid congestion directly impacts your business operations. Businesses looking to grow or become more sustainable are bogged down by the congested power grid. For businesses, grid congestion means delays and downtime. For example, you may:

Fail to get a new connection for a new building or project, or it takes a very long time;
Fail to increase current contract capacity when expanding production or load capacity. Power spikes or exceeding contract capacity have major consequences;
Not delivering generated solar energy back to the grid.

This directly impacts your business operations. Businesses looking to grow or become more sustainable get bogged down by the congested power grid.

How can we help you?

The solution is a DENS Gridhub, instant power when needed.

The Gridhub energy storage system is easy to use, delivers reliable energy and is the perfect stationary solution to handle peak loads or buffer generated solar energy for use at a later time.

The Gridhub uses advanced battery technology to provide reliable, on-demand energy wherever you need it. This energy system is easy to install on site and instantly deployable. Thanks to smart software, supply and demand are continuously matched. This prevents overloading, makes optimal use of renewable resources and keeps you in control of your energy.

The Gridhub also offers a solution in case of feed-in restrictions: you store the surplus and use it when needed. The system is easy to set up, user-friendly, powerful and contributes to a more sustainable future.

The DENS gridhub offers a clean, powerful and flexible alternative. Designed for practical use.

Applications of the DENS Gridhub

The DENS Gridhub offers an instant solution by directly storing and delivering energy locally, independent of the grid. Everything runs on electricity. No electricity = no progress. But a new grid connection? That often takes time. Or strengthening the existing connection is not possible.

The Gridhub provides you with sustainable, stable power. even without a grid connection.

This prevents downtime and allows you to work safely, efficiently and emission-free.

Making better use of grid capacity

Is a larger grid connection not possible? The DENS Gridhub offers a solution. You store power during off-peak hours, such as nights or weekends, and use that energy at peak times. This way you bridge the shortage of grid capacity without delay or extra costs.

The realization of the new premises for Porsche Center Brabant (part of PGZ B.V.) stalled due to an insufficient grid connection. Read here how this was solved thanks to a Gridhub.

Peakshaving

The Gridhub stores and delivers energy at peak consumption, reducing your peak load on the grid. This prevents overloading or fines in case of high offtake.

Canpack Helmond used the battery to control peak loads after expanding its production lines. Read here why they chose a DENS Gridhub.

Backup power supply

In case of power failures, the Gridhub automatically switches on. This keeps plants, machines or systems running safely. Reliable emergency power without emissions or noise.

Contact DENS for the possibilities of the Gridhub as an Energy Storage System (ESS).

PV charging

Store excess solar or wind energy for later use. Connect solar panels to the Gridhub and store excess solar energy. Use the energy when you need it, such as when the sun isn’t shining or when you’ve reached the contract power limit.

GOase Suncharging; with solar power and a DENS battery, this fast charging station is always powered up.
