As more solar and wind power comes on line, it becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, to ensure stability of the grid. Intermediate energy storage is therefore rapidly becoming an essential tool to keep power fluctuations on the grid within manageable limits. Moreover, as feed-in tariffs are decreasing, the business case for a home energy storage system that increases self-consumption becomes more solid every day. Intermediate energy storage increases self-consumption of harvested solar and/or wind power. The natural next step is 100% self-consumption and independence from the grid.
Built in an era when tradesmen were paid to create ‘a thing of beauty’ – large heritage buildings have to either find new purpose or fall into disrepair. 150 years after it was built, a mansion in Adelaide, Australia, has been repurposed as a technology HQ for Zinc Bromine Battery manufacturer Redflow, together with offices […]
The VIC-SONNESPEICHER® offers independent power supply, wherever it may be required. The VIC-SONNESPEICHER® own consumption system is an uninterrupted AC Power (UPS function) system, switching from inverter to shore or generator and back is automatic and so fast (within 20 milliseconds) that computers and other connected equipment are unaffected and continue to operate as normal. The VIC-SONNESPEICHER® Systems are normally not connected to the grid.
Energy delivered by traditional suppliers is becoming more and more expensive. When green energy is requested, the price rises even further whereas traditional resources are depleting. For many people, these scenarios are the main reason to switch to a sustainable solution, like a self-consumption system. With such a system, it is possible to operate grid independent and have wind or solar energy as the main energy source. Many different scenarios are possible, based on the specific needs and consumption of a household.
Wapserveen.com is in 2004 ontstaan in de gelijknamige plaats in Drenthe. De eigenaren, Jan Blok en Angelique Schipper-Blok, zijn begonnen met een melkveehouderij. Later is het bedrijf verder uitgebreid met onder andere aardbevingsbestendige log huizen, een imkerij, een Bed & Breakfast, een atelier en koeien voor scharrelvlees. Bij Wapserveen.com staat duurzaam en ecologisch ondernemen voorop, vandaar de keuze voor een off-grid systeem van Victron Energy.
