TPStorage’s first energy storage system (EOS) has been successfully installed in the municipality of Laarbeek. This innovative project combines the generation and storage of solar energy. The EOS is located in the middle of TPSolar’s Vossenberg solar park. The system was realized in collaboration with Batenburg Energietechniek.
The battery has a capacity of 1 MW and a storage capacity of 2.15 MWh. The installation consists of several battery cabinets and a transformer/inverter combination. The combination of energy generation and energy storage is called a co-located battery system. This contributes to a more efficient integration of renewable energy in the region. Not only does this help reduce grid congestion, it also helps to make optimal use of the solar energy generated. More information about this system and its advantages can be found in this fact sheet.
Collaboration with Batenburg Energietechniek
Batenburg Energietechniek supplies components and systems that are used in the electricity distribution network: from energy generation to the local connection. The various services they provide were the reason TPStorage decided to enter into a partnership
“We looked at the design together and searched for the right components for this specific project,” says Connor Hendriks, director-owner of TPStorage. “We immediately clicked with Batenburg, and together we learned a lot from an EOS from the development phase to the implementation phase.”
Marco van Drimmelen, sales manager storage, is also pleased with the collaboration. “For the Vossenberg solar park, we were able to fully realize the combination of a compact station (transformer) and Vossenberg energy storage. The compact station plays a crucial role, as both the battery and the entire solar park are connected to it. This gives TPStorage/TPSolar a good foundation for an efficient solar park that is ready for the future.”
Construction
After a construction period of four months, TPSolar’s Vossenberg solar park was connected to the electricity grid in December 2024. In January 2025, we started construction of the EOS at the solar park. The battery cabinets and inverters have been installed and the connection will take place in the spring.
