New approach to power at the Cars Jeans Football Stadium in the Netherlands
The Cars Jeans Stadion - a football stadium in The Netherlands - is set to become self- sustainable with the addition of energy storage and an electric vehicle (EV) charging hub. The stadium in The Hague already features a rooftop solar PV installation, which powers lighting for nighttime matches. Energy supplier Scholt Energy Services is currently working with technology provider Alfen to deliver a system by mid-2018.

provider Alfen in The Netherlands to deliver a system for the Cars Jeans Stadion. Its new power units can store the energy from PV panels and use it to charge EVs during football matches at night. The system is expected to come online by mid-2018.
Alfen said its charging hub
will consist of 20 charge points and will include an advanced load balancing platform. The charging hub will be connected directly to the energy storage system.
Sander Drissen, business development manager at Scholt Energy Services, tells WIP: “The project is truly unique in the combination of

use cases. We will use the batteries provided by Alfen to store the oversupply of renewable energy generated during the day. This energy can then be used in the evenings when it is most needed. In this way we make optimal use of the generated renewable energy. We will also smooth out the grid impact of a large number of electric vehicles that
plug in at the same location at the same time. And finally, when the stadium is not being used, we can use the storage system for energy trading to further improve our business case.” Grid operator Stedin is
supporting the project. Paul Broos, a project manager with Stedin, told WIP: “Solutions which integrate smart charging and storage will be of increasing importance to avoid sizeable grid investments as a result of the growing amount of renewable energy sources coming online in combina- tion with the rollout of electric vehicles.”
The Cars Jeans Stadion is a multi-use stadium in The Hague, Netherlands, designed by Zwarts & Jansma Architects. Completed in 2007, the stadium is used mostly for football and field hockey. It is also the home stadium of ADO Den Haag. It has a capacity of 15,000 people, and replaced ADO's former stadium Zuiderpark which was considerably smaller. The Stadium is best known as the venue for the 2014 Hockey World Cup.
