Project Overview

An agricultural enterprise in Netherlands deployed a Wenergy solar-plus-storage solution to optimize on-site renewable energy utilization, support EV charging infrastructure, and reduce dependence on the utility grid.

The project integrates 5 Star Series 289KWh Liquid-Cooled BESS units with rooftop PV generation and farm EV charging facilities. Through intelligent energy management, the system stores excess solar energy during periods of high generation and dispatches it when demand increases, improving solar self-consumption and operational efficiency.

Designed for Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy storage applications, the solution enables the farm to balance energy supply and demand while enhancing overall energy resilience.

Key Benefits

• Maximized Solar Self-Consumption: BESS captures surplus solar generation that would otherwise be exported to the grid, allowing the farm to utilize more of its renewable energy on-site. Stored energy is discharged during evening hours and periods of increased demand, maximizing the value of the PV investment.
• Peak Shaving and Load Management: Agricultural operations often experience fluctuating energy demand due to equipment such as refrigeration and cooling systems. The Stars Series 289KWh BESS performs peak shaving by absorbing load fluctuations and reducing peak demand charges. In this project, the system helps ensure that potato cooling operations and EV charging activities can operate simultaneously without creating excessive demand peaks or stressing the local grid connection.
• Reduced Grid Dependence: By combining solar generation, battery storage, and intelligent dispatch control, the solution reduces reliance on grid electricity and minimizes the need for costly grid capacity upgrades. This is particularly valuable in regions facing grid congestion and connection constraints.

Customer Value

The project demonstrates how advanced BESS can help agricultural businesses improve energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and increase renewable energy utilization. With the Stars Series 289KWh Liquid-Cooled BESS, the customer benefits from enhanced energy independence, optimized electricity consumption, and a more sustainable energy infrastructure capable of supporting future electrification and business growth.

As demand for agricultural energy storage and solar-plus-storage solutions continues to grow, Wenergy remains committed to delivering reliable, scalable, and high-performance BESS solutions for commercial and industrial applications worldwide.
