Door de implementatie van continue monitoring en een geavanceerd energiemanagementsysteem haalt OVET B.V. het maximale uit hun bestaande elektrische installaties. Wij brachten het verbruik en onzichtbare pieken nauwkeurig in kaart, waardoor de terminal veilig kan blijven elektrificeren en uitbreiden zonder de kritieke grenzen van het net te overschrijden.
In het Zeeuwse deel van North Sea Port vormt netcongestie een enorme blokkade voor de verduurzaming en groei van grootverbruikers. OVET B.V., specialist in de overslag en bewerking van droge bulkgoederen met terminals in Vlissingen en Terneuzen, liep hierdoor tegen harde operationele grenzen aan. Het verkrijgen van nieuwe aansluitingen of uitbreidingen is in dit havengebied uiterst lastig. Hierdoor stonden de noodzakelijke elektrificatie van kranen, de uitbreiding van terminals en de aanleg van zwaardere walstroomvoorzieningen sterk onder druk, terwijl klanten en de overheid juist versnelling eisen in de CO₂-reductieplannen.
Recently, OVET found that consumption at the Vlissingen site was dangerously close to the limit of available connection capacity. In addition, their main operating assets, four floating cranes, were running in island operation, where large fluctuations, voltage fluctuations and harmonic contamination occur during lifting and quartering. This overall picture created an urgent need for security: a robust solution was needed to accurately monitor consumption and prevent outages or unplanned downtime due to peak loads.
Om de onzekerheid rondom de capaciteit weg te nemen, besloot OVET B.V. onze expertise in te schakelen. Onze engineers installeerden meetapparatuur op alle laagspanningsinstallaties achter de hoogspanningsaansluiting. Daarnaast worden installaties verspreid over het hele terrein inmiddels continu gemonitord. Hierdoor brengen wij op detailniveau inzichtelijk waar en wanneer vermogen wordt gevraagd in de installatie.
The measurement data showed surprising spikes and effects that were previously invisible. This data allowed us to analyse failures in a targeted way. When a report came in from the ICT department that a UPS had tripped, the measurement equipment allowed us to quickly and accurately find out exactly what had happened. The system allows engineers to zoom in on specific times of day, which means we don't just intervene in the event of faults, but focus on a preventive, decisive approach.
Dankzij de gedetailleerde Power Quality rapportages implementeerde OVET B.V. een geavanceerd energiemanagementsysteem waarmee zij gericht keuzes maken. Pieken en overschrijdingen zijn nu helder in beeld, de oorzaak is direct te herleiden en gerichte maatregelen worden direct genomen. Het bedrijf past nu succesvol peak shaving toe en voorkomt in overleg met andere grote verbruikers op het terrein dat zware installaties tegelijkertijd inschakelen. Bovendien wordt vervuiling door frequentieregelaars van klanten zichtbaar gemaakt, zodat dit tijdig besproken wordt en toekomstige risico’s worden uitgesloten.
Het resultaat is rust en operationele zekerheid. Hoewel OVET B.V. de toezegging heeft gekregen voor een zwaardere aansluiting, voorkomt het heldere energiemanagementsysteem dat direct wéér een volgende verzwaring nodig is. De bestaande capaciteit wordt nu veel slimmer benut, en er wordt gekeken naar optimalisaties zoals het opvangen en hergebruiken van energie die vrijkomt bij het vieren van de kranen. Met plannen om de uitgebreide monitoring ook in Terneuzen uit te rollen, heeft OVET B.V. blijvend grip op de betrouwbaarheid en continuïteit van hun diensten.
Wilt u net als OVET B.V. niet wachten op netverzwaring, maar direct meer rendement en zekerheid uit uw huidige aansluiting halen? Onze engineers analyseren uw situatie graag.
