Ysebaert installs Smart Hybrid Energy System

This week we commissioned our Smart Hybrid Energy System. This system supplies our company with electricity during power outages, buffers our solar energy which we otherwise feed back into the grid and levels off our current peaks.

Electrical properties

The unique Smart Hybrid Energy System has the following characteristics:

  • Input : 3x400 VAC + N – 3 x 100A
  • Output : 3x400 VAC + N – 3 x 143A
  • Battery storage : 40kW Lithium Power Pack
  • UPS power : 30KVA
  • Maximum power : 100KVA

System components

Three Quattro converter/chargers 48/10000/140-100-100 and a Lithium Power Pack of 40kW form the heart of this unique system. The complete installation also has a Lynx DC distribution system and a bypass unit with coupling to our existing electrical installation and solar energy system.

The entire installation can be read out on the built-in Color Control Display and via the VRM website (Victron Energy Remote Management). Status messages are sent by e-mail via the VRM website while a mobile phone module ensures the necessary SMS messages in case of power failure.

Three in one

The system has a threefold set-up:

  • During a power outage we have a converter capacity of 30KVA available and a battery storage of 40kW. This allows us to shut down our CNC machines in a controlled manner and keep on working for a number of hours.
  • The solar energy that we don´t consume ourselves but feed back into the grid we can now buffer in the Lithium Power Pack and use at night, during a power outage or to better handle peaks in demand.
  • The maximum current peak is settled by the distribution grid manager during one year in the distribution and transport rates. Avoiding such current peaks can generate significant long-term savings. The Smart Hybrid Energy System can offset these current peaks by adding supply via the battery and the converters as of a certain power that is set in advance.  

Scalable – for your installation too

The Smart Hybrid Energy System is adaptable to every situation, whether single-phase, triple-phase or split-phase. The power, autonomy or type of battery can also be adapted to your wishes.
