--- title: Grid support date: 2026-02-12T11:20:00+01:00 author: Vincent Weijermars canonical_url: "https://www.bredenoord.com/en/solutions/grid-support/" section: Solution --- It may sound self-evident: a reliable energy supply without interruptions. Yet in practice, there is quite a lot involved. To ensure that all processes, machines or production lines within your organisation function properly, maintenance must occasionally be carried out on your main power supply. On the grid, for example. For situations of this kind, where maintenance is required on the grid or your own installation but operations must not come to a standstill, synchronous grid takeover (SGT) offers a solution. During an SGT, a generator equipped with a specific control system is deployed, ensuring a seamless transition to the generator. This allows your organisation to continue working as normal, without any power interruptions. Need advice?

You remain supplied with power, ensuring that staff or processes are not disrupted. - ### Also suitable for high power ratings SGT is available for power ratings from 100 kVA up to 2,000 kVA. Higher power ratings available upon request. - ### Extra backup power SGT can be combined with an additional generator as a backup. A combination with the Battery Box is also possible. - ### Save time and money Work can continue as normal. An SGT therefore saves both time and money. ## Check out our Battery Box [ View all Battery Boxes ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/rental/battery-boxes/) [![Battery Box 300](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL3Byb2R1Y3QvQnJlZGVub29yZC1CYXR0ZXJ5LUJveC0zMDAuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pemVTY2FucyI6dHJ1ZX0sInJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6Mzc1LCJoZWlnaHQiOjI1MCwiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifX19) ### Battery Box 300 The Battery Box 300 is perfect for projects with high, fluctuating power demands.

At Bredenoord, our experts have the experience to connect a generator to the grid safely and professionally. Whilst the main power supply remains active, the generator is precisely synchronised in terms of voltage and frequency. As soon as both are running fully in sync, the generator gradually takes over the power supply. When the regular power supply becomes available again, the switchover back is just as gradual. This ensures you have a reliable power supply, without interruptions or risks. The end user won’t notice a thing. ## Why work with Bredenoord? - ### Fast delivery Delivered directly from stock to your site, with no delays. - ### Large stock A wide range of products in various types and power ratings. - ### 24/7 service Continuous support and available to assist with any query or fault. - ### Top-quality products Reliable and robust solutions for every application. ## More case studies [ View all cases ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/) [![NSA Interconnect](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvTlNBLUludGVyY29ubmVjdC5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgyLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjozNzUsImhlaWdodCI6Mzc1LCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9fX0=) Backup generator ensures power access for Data & Cloud center Interconnect In our digital society we need power access at all times, which means a power outage could have serious consequences. That is especially the case for a Data & Cloud Center, such as Interconnect. Interconnect’s two data centers have a total floor surface of 8,000 m2, which makes this Tier 3+ data center the largest in the south of the Netherlands. A good backup power system is crucial. For almost fifteen years and counting Bredenoord has seen to this. 03-07-2024 ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/backup-generator-ensures-power-access-for-interconnect/ "Backup generator ensures power access for Data & Cloud center Interconnect")[![Bredenoord industrial sector offshore](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvYnJlZGVub29yZC1vZmZzaG9yZS1lbmVyZ3kuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pemVTY2FucyI6dHJ1ZX0sInJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6Mzc1LCJoZWlnaHQiOjM3NSwiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifX19) Creating offshore power certainty for Bluestream Bluestream is an offshore services company, providing a wide range of topside and subsea services to companies involved in wind energy, and the oil and gas industries. The subsea projects are carried out by both divers and remotely operated vehicles (ROV)– both of which relies on equipment which cannot be allowed to fail, even if there is a power cut. To head off this risk, most of Bluestream’s vessels are equipped with a specially adapted electrical generator by Bredenoord. 24-06-2020 ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/offshore-power-certainty-for-bluestream/ "Creating offshore power certainty for Bluestream")[![Energy for energy project: Bredenoord guarantees that water pumps will continue to operate 24/7](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvQ2FzZS1IZWFkZXItTW9iaWxlLUVuZXJneS1CYWx0aWMtUGlwZS5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgyLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjozNzUsImhlaWdodCI6Mzc1LCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9fX0=) Energy for an energy project: Bredenoord ensures water pumps will operate 24/7 Dewatering specialist Hölscher has been awarded a contract to drain the pipe trenches under excavation on the Jutland peninsula and the island of Funen as part of the Baltic Pipe Project. The challenge: at times the groundwater level is higher than the lowest point of the planned excavations. Also, the section under construction is approximately 140 kilometres long and is highly vulnerable to flooding, owing to its proximity to the sea. To keep the pipe trench dry, Hölscher is relying on the continuous operation of its water pumps. Bredenoord has undertaken the task of providing an uninterruptible power supply to the pumps. This way it is possible to lay the gas pipelines without any problems, despite of the challenging conditions. 09-06-2021 ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/energy-for-energy-project-bredenoord-ensures-water-pumps-will-operate/ "Energy for an energy project: Bredenoord ensures water pumps will operate 24/7") [ View all cases ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/) ## Insights [ View all insights ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/) [![Bredenoord Ecofactorij 170](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvQnJlZGVub29yZC1FY29mYWN0b3Jpai0xNzAuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pemVTY2FucyI6dHJ1ZX0sInJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6Mzc1LCJoZWlnaHQiOjM3NSwiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifX19) This is how a synchronous grid takeover works During a synchronous grid takeover one energy source takes over from another, without the final consumer noticing anything.
