Why attend this event?

The energy transition is putting unprecedented pressure on the electricity grid. For you, as a large-scale consumer, this often means that expanding, becoming more sustainable or electrifying your operations suddenly seems impossible. The grid operator refuses requests for a higher-capacity connection, and the waiting lists stretch back for years. The automatic reflex is often to invest immediately in expensive battery systems. But is that really the only – or the best – solution?

During this Power Topic, we’ll show you that, in practice, your contracted capacity is often not the absolute limit of your technical capabilities. Many installations utilise their contracted capacity inefficiently due to internal grid pollution and hidden losses. We’ll discuss how, by optimising your current installation, you can unlock hidden capacity yourself, enabling you to realise your ambitions after all.

What will be covered?

  • The myth of the full grid: why, in practice, the physical limit of your connection has often not yet been reached, even if the grid operator tells you ‘no’.
  • Unlocking hidden capacity: how ‘lost’ power caused by reactive current and harmonic distortion unnecessarily overloads your cables and transformers, and which electrical components we use to resolve this.
  • To measure is to know: the specific steps HyTEPS takes to arrive at an efficient solution. From understanding your power quality and actual consumption to a tailored capacity solution.
  • Practical examples: we discuss specific client cases where we have successfully created additional capacity within the installation, without the need for grid reinforcement or a battery.

Who is this event for?

This session is essential for professionals who need to respond strategically and technically to the limitations of the electricity grid and are looking for immediate solutions:

  • Technical Managers and Installation Managers (IV)
  • Facility Managers and managers of heavy electrical infrastructure
  • Energy and Sustainability Managers, and energy transition project leaders
  • Business leaders and board members with expansion plans
