Energy Systems
The PowerRouter of Nedap Energy Systems is a fully integrated energy management system. This makes it possible for everybody to build their own network for sustainable energy at home. Solar panels, wind turbines, energy efficient boilers, generators, batteries, everything can be connected to it very simply. The energy generated can be used immediately, stored in batteries for later use or fed into the grid. An intelligent web portal enables you to have full control of your total energy consumption.
It's green, it's smart and it makes you independent
Large parts of the world still do not have any electricity grid whatsoever, or they have unreliable grids, with power cuts being commonplace. The PowerRouter offers an excellent, sustainable solution to this. No noisy, smelly diesel generators, but always clean electricity. So that people continue working without disruption and can study, read a book or watch TV in the evening.
Capacity can be expanded very simply by connecting multiple PowerRouters. This also makes it suitable for small businesses, farms and industrial applications, such as drilling platforms and mobile phone antennas at sites where there is no access to an electricity grid.
The PowerRouter was introduced in 2009 at the Intersolar, a major international trade fair in Munich. Energy Systems is marketing the PowerRouter primarily in Germany, Italy, Spain, France and England. The PowerRouter is being sold worldwide via business partners. A next generation of PowerRouters, with even more functionalities and applications, is in the pipeline.
The PowerRouter gets even more interesting if you start trading your electricity. If you’ve got solar panels, but it’s windy and rainy, you place an order for electricity with your neighbour who has a wind turbine. The less electricity that goes back to the grid, the more you save.
100% Independence is already possible.
Ronald Serné from the Achterhoek region built a ‘zero-energy’ home between 2008 and 2010. This is a house that supplies its own energy needs. Using solar panels, he generates sufficient energy for all his household use, and also to drive 50,000 km per year in an electric car. Serné is 100% independent of the grid. In a few years’ time, he will have earned back his investment. There are increasing numbers of people like Ronald Serné who want to generate their own sustainable energy. In view of the rapid technical developments, this number is set to increase significantly in the coming years.
