AET Cuts Reliance on Grid Electricity with Renewables Microgrid

Harnessing EnOS™ Flex for real-time energy monitoring, optimized renewables, and cost savings while cutting reliance on grid power by over 50%.

EnOS™ Flex

About AET

At the heart of global trade lies the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, a bustling hub of commerce and innovation that issues 17 million tons of CO2 emission annually. The Port sought to revolutionize its energy management practices starting at Antwerp Euroterminal (“AET”), the largest multipurpose terminal in the Antwerp port. In partnership with Univers, the AET embarked on a transformative journey towards sustainability, efficiency, and cost reduction.

Challenges

Complex Integration: Difficulty in seamlessly integrating diverse energy production, storage, and consumption installations, including wind turbines, PV panels, and energy storage systems. 

Stakeholder Coordination: Managing collaboration among multiple stakeholders, including third-party energy providers, technical teams, finance managers, and leadership. 

Real-Time Monitoring: Ensuring real-time monitoring and management of energy resources across the terminal. 

Customized Solutions: Need for highly customized solutions to address unique project requirements and ensure seamless operation. 

Outcomes

Implemented EnOS™ Flex to provide advanced energy monitoring, optimization, and forecasting for AET. By leveraging on-site solar panels and wind turbines alongside a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the solution enabled efficient economic dispatch and optimized battery usage. The Intelligent Energy Management System (iEMS) continuously refined energy operations, while seamless IoT platform integration ensured smooth coordination between the BESS and EMS, delivering maximum efficiency and sustainability.

Increased Efficiency

Real-time monitoring and management capabilities empowered AET to optimize energy consumption patterns. 

Cost Savings

Avoid peak demand charges and optimize energy usage, enhancing financial resilience and competitiveness. 

0 %
