The 20-cylinder mtu gas gensets of the Series 4000 L64 FNER are bundled into six identical units, each with a capacity of ten megawatts. With 60 MW, around 60,000 households can be supplied with power. The power generators are modular in design, housed in containers and installed free-standing on foundations. If necessary, they can be moved in modular blocks to new locations within the Netherlands. This allows them to be operated specifically where grid support is most urgently needed and when energy demand is extremely high – such as in the cold winter months.
“With our flexible and relocatable units, we offer fast and adaptable solutions for grid stabilization—an essential component for a successful energy transition,” said Niels Steigstra, Managing Director Rolls-Royce Solutions Benelux.
Rolls-Royce is also responsible for the complete implementation of the EPC scope (engineering, procurement, construction) – including civil engineering work, a building for the 10 kV grid connection, the containerized generator sets themselves, and all electrical installations, including control technology. The gensets will be operated by Flexpowernet. They are initially intended for temporary use until 2036, while the expansion of the local power grid is being pushed ahead in parallel. Installation and commissioning are scheduled for the mid of next year. Rolls-Royce has also been commissioned to provide maintenance and a ten-year availability guarantee.
