PowerField plugs in 28-MWp Dutch solar-plus-storage plant

Dutch project developer PowerField Energy BV has launched trading operations at the site of a 28-MWp solar-plus-storage plant in Wanneperveen, Overijssel province, it was announced on Wednesday.

PowerField developed, owns, and now operates the facility through its new business unit PowerField Energy. It has tasked FlexPower with the trading and optimisation of the asset and relies on the STELLAR platform of Virtual Power Plant (VPP) solution provider Spectral.

The facility in question consists of a solar park of the aforementioned capacity and a co-located 21-MW/52-MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). It is now operational and actively participating in the Dutch Day-Ahead and Intraday markets.

“Co-locating PV and battery energy storage behind a single grid access point is increasingly popular in new energy projects. The co-location requires an integrated approach with a larger amount of optimisation parameters such as available grid capacity, current market prices and co-located PV generation,” commented Eelco Rondhuis, Head of Energy Management at PowerField.
