With transformer substations, energy storage systems, charging stations for electric vehicles and a large portfolio of other products, Alfen takes on a central role and is a connecting partner in the electricity grid. With its broad range of in-house developed products and vast experience as systems integrator Alfen is dedicated to build the electricity grid of the future: reliable, sustainable and innovative.
Alfen closely cooperates with various grid operators to future-proof the electricity grid. By joining forces with grid operators, Alfen developed innovative solutions such as the charge points for electric vehicles and power grid automation, while also equipping thousands of medium voltage facilities with remote digital fault passage indicators. Furthermore, Alfen's energy storage system TheBattery enables grid operators to manage, store and use decentrally generated energy.
As our society evolves toward a sustainable one, more and more electricity is generated from energy sources such as solar, wind and bio energy. In addition, electric energy is also increasingly being used to power electric vehicles. Alfen offers a portfolio of solutions to transform, store and distribute sustainable electric energy and is renowned partner in connecting solar farms and wind turbines.
Alfen is a highly reliable partner for industrial organizations in the field of distributing electric energy and the construction of electricity grids. Alfen delivers both separate prefab (transformer) stations and complete privately owned high and medium voltage grids. These are all fully serviced, turn-key solutions for the energy supply, which include all management and maintenance services.
For over ten years, Alfen is the number one partner for the greenhouse horticulture industry. We provide CHP connections, transformer substations and construct complete, privately owned high and medium voltage grids. This means we have vast experience with aspects such as installing lighting stations and connecting generators. Alfen realizes complete projects, from the initial design phase to service and maintenance.
Alfen is selected by TrønderEnergi, one of the largest utility and grid operators in Norway, to deliver a battery energy storage system (BESS). The BESS has a capacity of 548 kWh and can be deployed for different use cases. Initially, the BESS will be located at an agricultural business, providing peakshaving and off-grid services for the existing energy system of a wind turbine and solar PV.
Alfen has been selected by Dutch social workplace, Caparis, to provide integrated smart grid, electric vehicle charging and energy management solutions at two of its sites in the Netherlands. The projects’ objectives are to maximise use of self-generated solar and promote the use of clean vehicles.
