After the visit to the DC station, speakers explained in detail the principles, the creation of the design, implementation and realisation.

Network operator Liandon sees the application of the new technology "Direct Current" as part of being able to realise the energy transition.

Dynniq brought the design to realisation.

The many questions about this unique DC project were answered professionally.

The participants therefore found the KIVI-El meeting very successful.

For interested electrical engineers, Dynniq' s 2017 drafted document " Design of a public DC Grid on a business Park" is available for review.

Description

Lectures on the development of a unique direct current network for Lelystad Airport and the surrounding industrial estates, followed by a visit to the direct current station.

Lelystad Airport and grid manager Alliander see sufficient potential to provide the industrial estate Airport Garden City near Lelystad Airport with a sustainable electrical direct current infrastructure
Historical
Traditionally, alternating current has been the standard in electricity transmission in Europe. This has historically grown that way. But on both the power-generating side and the consumption side, direct current is increasingly in the picture. Solar panels and charging stations for electric cars are based on direct current. Computers and LED lamps, the main energy users in an office, also run on direct current.
It is estimated that around 80-85 per cent of all electrical appliances in the home actually run on direct current. Converting AC to DC voltage results in a lot of energy loss. With a low-voltage direct-current grid, this is not necessary, resulting in a big energy gain. With direct current, the efficiency of sustainable energy sources such as solar and fuel cells increases considerably, fewer electrical components are needed in the grid and substantial savings are made on expensive copper cables.
Development Lelystad Airport
"Airport Garden City" must still be attractive in twenty years' time and we want to incorporate this idea as much as possible in its development. The construction of a DC grid fits in perfectly with this.
Grid operator Liander has selected Dutch technology company Dynniq as its partner for the development of a public DC grid at Lelystad Airport. Its construction has started.

Meanwhile, Dynniq has installed Europe's first public DC substation. This station forms the heart of the DC grid at the Lelystad Airport Businesspark and the new Lelystad Airport. The first companies will be connected before the opening of the renovated airport in April 2018.

The engineering and realisation of the direct current network provides the occasion for a number of interesting lectures.

Important
The substation to be visited is located on a not yet paved terrain, approx. 5 minutes by car from the Aviodrome. It is recommended to wear safety shoes or shoes for this kind of terrain. A helmet is not compulsory. Bring safety jacket (has everyone in the car)
