Poul van Slooten, director/owner of GreenWatt, needs to look no further for a suitable partner for Energy Storage Systems after extensive research. GreenWatt has focused on wind energy for years but can now shift its focus to energy storage, such as Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This technology, which stores electrical energy in batteries for later use, is desperately needed to handle the peaks in our power grid. A perfect opportunity for GreenWatt to further specialize in this and that is possible thanks to AHE. Besides the development and realization phase of the BESS projects, GreenWatt will also provide the After Sales service.
Why was AmpereHour Energy (AHE) chosen?
Poul: “AHE has a lot of experience implementing BESS projects in India, Africa, and the Middle East. The uniqueness of AHE is that they design and manufacture all BESS installations themselves, including associated software, which is very advanced. This enables simple (API) links to external sources, such as current and expected energy prices on the energy markets and/or weather forecasts (for wind and solar). Thus, renewable energy can be produced at the times of need and energy consumption is optimized which benefits prices.”
Modern India thanks to European standards
Although the battery cells are currently sourced from China, other essential components come from both India and Europe. In particular, the controls and power electronics, such as the inverters, come from renowned European brands such as ABB and Phoenix Contact.
This ensures that quality meets European standards, while manufacturing in India makes the components competitively priced.
AHE comes to the Netherlands
To strengthen the cooperation between the companies, conduct research and above all exchange knowledge, a delegation from AHE will visit GreenWatt at the end of May.
