René Pot

The Battery Consultant

I have extensive experience as an all-round engineer and technical salesperson in various organizations, where I have worked with international customers and partners. I am a team player, driven, eager to learn and have a passion for innovation. I also like to share my knowledge and expertise with others in order to jointly achieve optimal results.

For the last 9 years I have been active in the lithium battery business as a technical expert. I have been able to see many applications of batteries. This sparked my passion for lithium batteries. As an independent expert, I am happy to help customers familiarize themselves with the ins-and-outs of lithium systems.

My experience

Projects I have contributed to

Battery systems for ships

This ranged from small battery systems on board pleasure boats to systems for fully electric or hybrid passenger ships and work boats.

Emissieloos Netwerk Infra

Within this organization I participated in the SCEB advisory group. This group was working on agreements and standards regarding the connectivity of installations on an emission-free construction sites.

Topics such as generators, storage, electrical connections and charging infrastructure were discussed, among others. See(in Dutch):

1,2 MWh storage system for a DC-microgrid

In this system, the energy is generated by solar panels, which are then stored in a battery container and released back to the DC grid at night. What is special about this is that this is one of the first DC microgrid systems in the Netherlands. Almost everything runs on direct current (DC), with the alternating current (AC) grid being used as a backup.

As system architect of the storage container, I have been able to learn a lot in the field of DC microgrid systems. Also see
