Smart energy grid
With the help of Conclusion Mission Critical and AMIS Conclusion, Eneco is able to connect all forms of energy assets to the energy network and to operate these assets in real time. The nomination emphasizes Eneco's achievements: making a significant contribution to the energy transition and the impact on the overall energy mix of the Netherlands.
Menno Gierman, Head of Energy Operations at Eneco: "Eneco is one of the parties responsible for keeping the Dutch energy grid in balance by managing supply and demand. In order to be CO2 neutral by 2035, Eneco has built its own Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Through the VPP, it will be possible to connect thousands of local sustainable assets, from wind and solar farms to batteries and electric boilers. With the VPP, we are taking a big step towards becoming a digital energy company."
Bastiaan Gerrits, Head of Business Technology at Eneco adds: "To achieve this, we opted for a scalable and extensible application platform. Every energy asset can be easily connected to the platform and communicates effortlessly with our virtual power plant. Digitalization serves as a catalyst for the transition to sustainable energy. Conclusion's expertise is indispensable for the realization of this platform, which has been designed and built with this vision in mind from the start."
Robbrecht van Amerongen, Head of IoT at AMIS Conclusion: "We are proud of the added value we are delivering to the energy transition with Eneco. The smart energy network has an extremely high measurement frequency. By means of logic and algorithms, we determine the most optimal setting of the network, after which an energy park is controlled within a few seconds. We are proud of getting this nomination since is a recognition of the ambitious, innovative, and groundbreaking platform we created."
