Grytte Bloemenheuvel is an inspiring coworking location situated in the former mayor's residence of Driebergen. The site brings together freelancers and SMEs in a shared workspace built around entrepreneurship, collaboration, and sustainable innovation.
As the building transitioned toward higher electrification and energy efficiency, grid capacity limitations emerged as a key challenge to future growth.
The site operates under a grid transport capacity limit of 84 kW, which restricts further expansion of electrical loads, including:
Electric vehicle charging stations
Air conditioning systems
Heat pumps and electrified HVAC equipment
Without structural changes, these constraints would limit scalability and operational flexibility.
To resolve this challenge, a commercial battery energy storage system (BESS) from GSL ENERGY was deployed and installed by GSL ENERGY's exclusive authorized partner in the Netherlands.
System configuration:Battery capacity: 232 kWh
Power output: 125 kW
Control system: Smart Energy Management System (EMS), locally adapted for the Dutch grid environment
Peak shaving to absorb short-term load spikes
Grid congestion mitigation without network reinforcement
Power availability optimization for daily operations
By temporarily supplying power during peak demand periods, the system reduces stress on the grid while maintaining seamless business operations.
The installation process demonstrates how the system was efficiently deployed on-site by the authorized local partner, ensuring compliance with regional grid requirements and operational standards.
Enables business growth under strict grid constraints
Avoids costly grid upgrades
Improves energy efficiency and operational resilience
Supports sustainability and ESG objectives
