Global trade hub AET invested in saving the globe with microgrid technology, raising efficiency and reducing energy costs, while increasing energy independence amidst an uncertain international climate.
Global Trade Hub: The Port of Antwerp-Bruges, a major global trade hub, emits 17 million tons of CO2 annually.
Sustainability Commitment: Aiming to become the world’s most sustainable port and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by exploring green energy.
Complex Integration: Difficulty in seamlessly integrating diverse energy production, storage, and consumption installations, including wind turbines, PV panels, and energy storage systems.
Stakeholder Coordination: Managing collaboration among multiple stakeholders, including third-party energy providers, technical teams, finance managers, and leadership.
Real-Time Monitoring: Ensuring real-time monitoring and management of energy resources across the terminal.
Customized Solutions: Need for highly customized solutions to address unique project requirements and ensure seamless operation.
Implemented EnOS™ Flex to provide advanced energy monitoring, optimization, and forecasting for AET. By leveraging on-site solar panels and wind turbines alongside a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the solution enabled efficient economic dispatch and optimized battery usage. The Intelligent Energy Management System (iEMS) continuously refined energy operations, while seamless IoT platform integration ensured smooth coordination between the BESS and EMS, delivering maximum efficiency and sustainability.
Real-time monitoring and management capabilities empowered AET to optimize energy consumption patterns.
