Grid-parallel mode for grid congestion and peak shaving
The Bryntell CleanStar's grid-parallel mode creates a seamless connection between the energy system and the existing electricity grid. The generator is connected in parallel with the grid and operates at exactly the same voltage and frequency. This allows power from the grid and power from the CleanStar to work together directly to cover capacity shortfalls.

Extra power without waiting for grid upgrades
Due to grid congestion, grid upgrades often take years. This directly delays projects and processes at locations with high power demand, such as construction sites and airports. With the CleanStar's grid-parallel mode, also known as grid parallel, you can immediately increase on-site capacity without depending on the grid operator.
No penalties or exceedances (Peak Shaving)
Grid operators charge extra and impose strict restrictions during high peak loads. This often leads to:
- Higher rates during peak hours.
- High penalties for exceeding the contracted transport capacity (GTV).
- Risk of disconnection or legal action in the event of repeated capacity overruns.
The CleanStar automatically absorbs peaks in power demand (peak shaving). This keeps your energy consumption within the limits agreed with the grid operator.
Maximum efficiency
In practice, combining power from the fixed grid with the CleanStar is the most cost-effective option. The fixed grid supplies the base load at the lowest rates. The CleanStar only kicks in during peaks, when grid prices are high and the risk of exceeding the contracted transport capacity is greatest.
Continuity and scalability
The CleanStar’s grid-parallel mode ensures project continuity right away. This is also the case when the project requires more energy in the short term.
- Ready for immediate deployment: prevent delays, whatever additional power is needed.
- Modular system: multiple generators can be combined in minutes.
- Hybrid setup: connect the generator to a battery system. The CleanStar charges the battery efficiently and steps in immediately when extra peak power is needed.
- No dips or interruptions for sensitive equipment such as work vehicles or IT systems.

The sustainable alternative to diesel
Optimal power, whenever you need it
The system serves as the missing energy link during your project or business operations. The CleanStar can supply power directly, but can also, for example, charge a battery. The system is also modular and offers three powerful capacity classes.
The CleanStar is used as a sustainable alternative to diesel and a more logistically viable alternative to hydrogen. The system has no long charging times, is not weather-dependent, and combines a compact size with affordability. View the specifications of our three systems.

Mobilis
Reliable energy and continuity on the construction site. We supplied infrastructure contractor Mobilis with 250 kW of continuous power, without nitrogen deposition. This kept the construction site running autonomously.
Schiphol (TCR-KES)
Electric airport transport is already possible. A successful pilot by Bryntell and TCR-KES at Schiphol proves it. Ground support equipment, including that of KLM, was charged without any issues.
Grid-parallel FAQ
Grid-parallel FAQ
In almost all cases, a grid-parallel setup for the CleanStar must be coordinated with the grid operator (such as Liander, Enexis or Stedin). Bryntell provides support and advice for all these applications.
If the grid voltage drops, the CleanStar's control system detects it immediately. The system disconnects from the grid within a fraction of a second and seamlessly switches to island mode, supplying energy entirely on its own. This allows your business operations to continue without any noticeable interruption.
The CleanStar continuously monitors power demand and the load on your grid connection. As soon as demand threatens to exceed the contracted transport capacity (GTV), the system automatically and seamlessly supplies the missing power. The system also provides extra power during expensive peak periods. This ensures you never pay too much in high energy tariffs or unnecessary fines from the grid operator.
