Venema Technology has designed a modular battery-pack to provide construction sites with the sustainable energy they require.

Venema Technology has consciously chosen to involve HAN School of Engineering and Automotive students and regional ROC’s in their Research & Development process. The company wants to give young talent the opportunity to get involved at the forefront of the market. Several students have actually stayed at Venema Technisch Bedrijf after finishing their internship.

The modularity of the system allows contractors to control the supply of electricity that is provided. They can enable exactly the right amount of electricity. This prevents both under capacity and (expensive) overcapacity.

Venema’s Industrial Battery Pack (IBP) consists of connectable packs, with a capacity of 20 to 60 KVA. This is how a contractor can optimally distribute the various packages over different construction sites. For the prototype, Venema used battery packs from electric cars.

In the upcoming months, the IBP will be tested on construction sites. The IBP’s will communicate digitally. All information is collected on one platform, this will give the contractor insight in the deployment of the IBP’s on different construction sites. The IBP’s are protected against hackers.
