Altro

Sustainable Prefab Walk-in Substation for MV Grid Connections

As we move towards a more sustainable energy system, it's important to ensure that companies can be effectively connected to the grid. That's where Alfen's Altro comes in. Designed to support Dutch and Belgian customers with their medium voltage grid connection needs, Altro is a sustainable, customisable, and safe prefab walk-in substation. 

Altro supports a wide variety of customers such as fast electric vehicle charging locations, solar park developers and industrial companies with their MV grid connections to enable EV charging infrastructure, connect renewables to the grid and accelerate the shift towards a cleaner energy future.  

Here are some key points about Altro:

• Its sustainable benefits include high-quality concrete that requires less material to have the same or better technical lifespan, reducing the station's carbon footprint. Its more efficient footprint also helps reduce transport emissions and CO2, making it an environmentally friendly option.
• Safety is a top priority with Altro's innovative IAC-AB solution (Internal Arc Classification) that ensures extra safety for users, mechanics and the general public.
• Altro is fully equipped in Alfen's factory in Almere, saving time by reducing the need for multiple parties to visit the site during installation.
• In the Netherlands:
  • Altro facilitates medium-voltage grid connections with power requirements greater than 1750kVA and less than 20MVA (depending on the grid operator) for industry, solar parks, greenhouse horticulture and other customers that want to connect to the MV grid.
  • Altro meets the requirements of the Dutch grid operators to guarantee the station's safety, reliability, and high quality.
• In Belgium:
  • The new station offers customisations that involve a medium-voltage to low-voltage transformer substation with a current power capacity of no more than 630kVA, serving grid operators, owners of fast EV charging locations, industrial customers, commercial buildings, residential developments, infrastructure projects, and large-scale renewable energy projects.
  • Altro is certified by Synergrid, the Belgian federation for electricity distribution network operators. This certification demonstrates the station's safety, reliability, and high quality.

 The substation is available in four dimensional variations, providing customers with customisable solutions to meet their unique needs in the Netherlands and Belgium.
