Making Better Use of the Grid

Building more grid takes years. Making smarter use of what is already there can start now. Grid reinforcement is essential, but in the meantime the key lies in flexibility. That means matching supply and demand more closely, lowering peak loads and making optimal use of existing capacity. Krachtwerk helps organisations find that headroom and put it to work.

Grid reinforcement is essential, but it has long lead times. In the meantime, the key lies in making better use of existing capacity.

By matching supply and demand more closely, reducing peak loads and activating flexibility, there is more room on the grid than there appears to be on paper. Krachtwerk helps organisations seize that opportunity.

Better utilisation means using available grid capacity more efficiently by adapting behaviour to grid load. Think of smart charging of electric vehicles outside peak hours, demand-led control of industrial processes, cable pooling between wind and solar farms, or sharing grid capacity through energy hubs. The result is that more becomes possible on the same grid, without immediate reinforcement.
Flexibility is the key. Parties able to adjust their power demand or supply in response to grid signals or price incentives ease congestion, and they are increasingly rewarded for doing so. Grid operators are developing new contract types and markets for flexibility, from time-restricted transport contracts to local congestion markets. Krachtwerk helps identify, develop and deploy flexible potential.
For anyone with a large grid connection or flexible assets: industrial consumers, renewable energy project developers, charging infrastructure operators and property owners managing their own energy balance. Krachtwerk brings together the technical possibilities, the market knowledge and the project management capacity to take this from analysis to delivery.
