DSG needed one secure and resilient way to connect its portfolio to Powernaut’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP). The connection had to support portfolio control while keeping the assets safe and cybersecure.

The Teleport Gateway connects the site hardware with Powernaut’s VPP. Powernaut can receive live asset data and send control instructions, while local control handles site-level safety and operating constraints.

• A secure, resilient, and safe connection between the DSG’s assets and Powernaut’s system.
• DSG keeps local control and cybersecurity requirements in place.
• The project shortened the time needed to integrate the portfolio.

Return needed one scalable, cybersecure control path for different offtakers. It also wanted to avoid tying its portfolio to one trader or one technical setup.

The Teleport Gateway provides direct control of the battery energy storage systems for FCR, aFRR, and trading.

• Return can use one control setup across different offtakers.
• Traders can control battery capacity for multiple market services.
• High asset uptime and consistent communication path.

• Needed an uniform, secure, and cost-efficient method to unlock full wind turbine flexibility.

• Installation of the Teleport in the high-voltage substation for a secure and efficient connection between the wind turbine and BEE’s BEE HIVE platform.

• BEE HIVE platform can connect asset data with the energy markets.

• A facility with an existing solar installation added a large battery energy storage system and high-power EV chargers.
• The site operates with a limited grid connection and is subject to strict contractual limits on both electricity import and export.
• Electric trucks must be fully charged each morning before commencing distribution operations.

• The Teleport was installed to connect and coordinate the on-site inverters, battery system, EV chargers, and metering infrastructure.
• A battery peak-shaving application continuously monitors the main grid connection, automatically balancing solar generation, battery storage, and vehicle charging in real time.
• The control strategy prioritises charging the battery first, enabling vehicles to draw power later from both the battery and the limited grid connection.

• Steddion successfully integrated a high-capacity energy system onto a heavily constrained grid connection without compromising operational reliability.
• The electric fleet is fully charged and ready for morning distribution schedules.
• The end customer avoids power interruptions by utilising stored battery energy whenever grid capacity is insufficient.

Novar needed one way to monitor and control 650 MW of different solar assets, including rooftop and ground-mounted sites. The portfolio used equipment from different inverter manufacturers, so the solution also had to work across different hardware.

The Teleport Gateway connects the assets to Novar’s internal and third-party systems. Its asset library supports more than 450 types of asset, allowing Novar to use a single API for controlling them all.

• Novar can control different assets through one API.
• New sites can follow the same, fast integration process.
• Curtailment can be applied across the portfolio.
• Cybersecurity is part of the technical setup.

The wind farm was designed in 2008, before native digital integration. The turbines could not respond to real-time market conditions or grid requirements. That created a financial risk during negative-price periods and high imbalance prices.

The Teleport Gateway was installed to connect nine legacy turbines to the Shared Energy Platform for remote steering. The control logic respects the turbines’ existing safety limits and latency requirements.

• The turbines can now be curtailed when market conditions require it (and reduced exposure to imbalance costs and negative-price events).
• Eneco can adjust production in response to price signals and grid needs.
• The existing turbines remain useful without replacing the site.

Grid congestion had stopped businesses from expanding. Companies faced surcharges for EV fleet charging and, at times, had to switch off solar production.

A Group Transport Agreement pooled the individual grid rights of 14 companies into one shared capacity limit.

Each site received a Teleport Gateway to collect real-time data and provide a local control interface. It connects to the cloud-based Energy Management System from ACC, which calculates the available group capacity and sends setpoints to the gateways. OM | Nieuwe Energie manages the group’s grid load in kW and energy volume in kWh.

• Businesses could expand without waiting for physical grid reinforcement.
• Existing solar generation could be used more fully.
• The control system helps prevent the group from exceeding its shared limit.

As a Balance Service Provider (BSP), Edmij needed to deploy EXIDE batteries in the FCR market to provide balancing services and prevent congestion.

The Teleport Gateway connects the batteries and gives Edmij direct control of the FCR module.

Edmij can provide balancing services while giving its customers access to value from EPEX and imbalance market price fluctuation.

Aire could not control the wind turbine, which reduced the site’s business case. The turbine OEM did not offer a suitable control solution.

A Teleport Gateway was installed on site to control the turbine. It also protects the grid connection and manages the priority between steering signals for the battery and wind turbine.

• Aire is able to optimize for revenue by controlling both the turbine and the co-located BESS.
• The site can respond to market opportunities while staying within its grid limit.

Vandebron wanted to curtail wind turbines. Other market solutions were limited or expensive, and the company did not want to build the control system in-house.

Vandebron connected its turbines to the Teleport Gateway, using the gateway as the control path into its existing systems.

• The connection gave Vandebron a faster, lower-cost way to control Enercon turbines and participate in balancing markets.

SamenOM wanted to offer its members services such as solar curtailment without creating a separate technical process for every cooperative.

Withthegrid set up a repeatable process:

1. The energy cooperative completes an online form.
2. A configured Teleport Gateway is sent to the installation party.
3. The installation is supervised remotely.

A worry-free process for SamenOM that delivers maximum return on investment for their members’ projects.

Hoogvliet wanted to open a supermarket in a renovated historic building. The site had a 215 kWh battery, solar PV, 10 EV charging points, and a heat pump.

Grid congestion limited the connection to 57 kW. That was too little to run the store conventionally because its main systems could not all operate at the same time.

The Teleport Gateway connects the site’s energy assets and sends live data to Tibo Energy’s cloud EMS. Tibo then optimizes the site’s energy use within the 57 kW limit.

The technical work was carried out by Waterman Installatietechniek. Brenergie supplied the battery.

The supermarket opened without grid reinforcement and operates within its 57 kW contracted capacity. Solar generation, battery storage, and active control allow the site to use the connection more effectively.

Grid congestion limits how assets can operate. At the same time, volatile electricity prices create opportunities for batteries and other flexible assets.

Emmett Green needed local control and real-time market optimization to work together.

The Teleport Gateway connects batteries, solar inverters, and other site assets. It exchanges data and control signals with Emmett Green’s cloud EMS.

Local control keeps the site within its grid limits while the EMS adjusts setpoints in response to market conditions.

• Assets can participate in balancing and congestion markets.
• Local control keeps operation within the site’s physical limits.
• Short time-to-market.

Grid congestion limits how much solar power can be fed into the grid. Many midsize solar sites also lack a practical way to adjust production in real time.

That means owners can miss revenue from balancing and congestion services and can remain exposed to negative electricity prices.

The Teleport Gateway provides real-time control of solar installations. It connects the sites with NieuweStroom’s flexibility contracts and congestion services (CBCs).

When the grid requires a reduction, the system can lower solar output and restore production afterward. The same control path supports participation in imbalance and aFRR markets.

• Solar assets can take part in congestion and balancing services.
• Owners can reduce exposure to negative prices.
• Simple, fully managed solution with a single contract and provider.
• Batteries can be added to the same technical setup later.

Dutch grid operators introduced the mandatory Realtime Interface (RTI) for new large-scale connections as part of grid congestion management. Projects therefore need a customer endpoint that can exchange the required information and control signals with the grid operator.

The Teleport Gateway as endpoint was developed in collaboration with Enexis. It became the first certified RTI customer endpoint in the Netherlands. It provides the interface between the project and the grid operator.

The RTI gives grid operators better visibility and control of connected assets. That helps them use available transmission capacity more effectively while keeping the grid within its operating limits.

No grid connection could be secured for the industrial logistics site. Elix still wanted to add solar PV and battery storage alongside the site’s existing gas turbines.

The Teleport Gateway provides local control of the hybrid system. Solar power has priority for on-site use and battery charging. The gas generator starts only when renewable generation and stored energy are not enough.

• The site can use solar and battery storage without relying on a new grid connection.
• Improved the sustainability of the business operation.
• Optimized efficiency with automated control.

A wind farm and a solar park share one limited grid connection. During periods of high wind and solar production, their combined output could exceed the transformer’s limit.

The site also needed a customer endpoint for real-time monitoring and compliance with the distribution system operator’s requirements.

The Teleport Gateway acts as the local control system for both the wind and solar assets. It continuously calculates the available apparent power on the shared connection.

When wind generation increases, the control logic gradually reduces solar production so the combined output stays within the connection limit. The gateway also serves as the certified RTI endpoint for the DSO.

• Wind and solar can operate at the same site without exceeding the shared connection limit.
• More renewable electricity can be produced from the available grid capacity.
• The site is DSO-compliant.
