Schiphol electrifies ground equipment, even without an adequate power grid.

Grid congestion does not have to hold back the sustainability of airports. Bryntell proved this together with TCR-KES at Schiphol.

Problem

TCR-KES, a global specialist in the maintenance, management and rental of ground support equipment (GSE), needed to charge electric ground equipment belonging to companies including KLM. This includes eGPUs and electric aircraft tractors.

The problem: Schiphol's power grid could not meet demand. Without a solution, this equipment would simply be out of action.

in a hybrid setup

Solution

Bryntell deployed the CleanStar, in combination with a battery system from Greener Power Solutions. This hybrid configuration provided a stable and clean energy supply, exactly where and when it was needed.

No nitrogen deposition, net-zero CO2, independently tested.

It works similarly to traditional diesel solutions, but with ultra-low emissions. Ready to deploy immediately, with no long waits for grid upgrades.

“Our hybrid configuration of a genset and a battery makes it possible to absorb peak power and keep operations running optimally. That’s exactly what you need in a dynamic airport environment.”

What this means for
TCR-KES and KLM

In their own words

Bas Dubbelaar

KLM

“It helps us meet our electricity needs as an interim solution. We want to do our part to make things greener, and we need a lot of electricity to do that.”

Adriaan van Tets

Bryntell

“Thanks to our collaboration with TCR-KES, we were able to install a very powerful system in a compact setup in a very short time. The energy transition in aviation has been discussed for years. At Schiphol, we have shown that it is already possible with our existing technology.”

Christian Slob

TCR Nederland

“Using this sustainable energy solution can accelerate our customers’ transition to electric equipment.”

Erik de Goeij

SGHC

“Bryntell’s solutions ensure that the investments we make in electric equipment can actually be put to use.”
