Completed in 2021, Windpark de Plaet is a wind farm in the southern part of the Netherlands. It has 7 wind turbines that provide 32.4MW of power. With Alfen's integrated solutions, the Windpark will add nearly 10MW of additional flexible power and 20MWh of installed capacity. The installation is expected to be completed in the summer of 2024.

Alfen's integrated solutions include 2 identical battery subsystems with a total of 56 battery racks. The subsystems contain 2 outdoor transformers and 2 inverters, as well as a variety of auxiliary equipment. Alfen's deep expertise in grid management and smart grid solutions will ensure a seamless integration of complex technologies into the existing site with its well-known Diabolo 40h substation supplied for the project.

"Adding sustainable solutions from Alfen to our wind farm is an incredible moment for us," said David Mol of Promill and Andries Middelbos of Coöperatie Deltawind, who together own The Plaet BV.
