Piet Brouwer Electrotechnology recently successfully supplied a power supply system for the sand dredger Veluwemeer, which belongs to the RuwBouw Groep from Harderwijk.
The new installation consists of a 1000 kVA containerized diesel generator that is placed on deck and supplies the desludging system with power.
In addition, a 1000 kVA step-up transformer provides 15 kV for the suction pump system, which is connected to the desludging system via a floating cable.
The power system has been designed in such way that it can be easily supplied from the public electricity grid in the future, if required.
