The first micro grid in The Netherlands: Bronsbergen

In partnership with VEI

By T Loix, KULeuven - ESAT/ELECTA

The first micro grid in the Netherlands is located in the Bronsbergen holiday park, near Zutphen (about 100km to the west of Amsterdam). This park consists of 208 holiday homes, of which 108 have been fitted with a solar PV installation on the roof. Peak generation capacity is 315 kW compared with a peak load of 150 kW. Furthermore, two battery banks have been installed as energy storage. It is, after all, not out of the question that when the power demand is high, the PV installations will not be able to produce the necessary power. To allow for this, the energy from the batteries can be recovered, and these can then be recharged later on (when the PV installations are producing more than the demand).
