Deep Dive: Digitale transformatie van energiediensten
Het elektriciteitsnet speelt een cruciale rol in de energievoorziening van de toekomst. Met de snelle opkomst van hernieuwbare energiebronnen en nieuwe verbruikers zoals zonneparken, oplaadstations voor elektrische voertuigen en batterijopslagsystemen, wordt het steeds belangrijker dat al deze systemen naadloos communiceren met het elektriciteitsnet en zijn actoren. Dit is de enige manier om optimale energie-uitwisseling te bereiken.
In deze Deep Dive-sessie combineren we lezingen van experts met demonstraties om een uitgebreid inzicht te geven in hoe technologieën en diensten op elkaar inwerken. Deelnemers krijgen inzicht in de nieuwste ontwikkelingen op het gebied van netintegratie en leren over innovatieve oplossingen voor het beheer van energiestromen.
Deze sessie zal doorgaan in het Engels.
Programma
10.00: Welkom met koffie
10.30: Introductie tot EDIH-EBE door Michel Huys
Expert talks:
10.45: Flexibility for distribution networks, Md Umar Hashmi, EnergyVille/KU Leuven
As distribution networks integrate more distributed energy resources (DERs) and face intermittent load-generation patterns, maintaining operational integrity becomes challenging. Flexibility is essential for this transition. This presentation explores key aspects of flexibility operations, including identifying network needs, modelling approaches, harnessing behind-the-meter flexibility, activation bottlenecks, and fairness. We highlight the importance of flexible solutions for efficient and equitable grid management.
11.30: Ancillary services in power system and digitalisation, Abhimanyu Kaushal, EnergyVille/VITO
System operators require ancillary services to maintain secure and reliable power system operations. This presentation provides a brief overview of the key ancillary services and explores the benefits of sharing these services across countries. With the growing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), their participation in ancillary services is becoming increasingly relevant. However, several barriers—technical, regulatory, and market-related—limit their effective involvement. The presentation will highlight these challenges and discuss how digitalization can play a crucial role in enabling DERs to contribute to ancillary service provision across interconnected power systems.
Demonstration:
12.00: Connectivity and Control of Energy Assets, Rick Loenders, EnergyVille/KU Leuven
Seamless communication is essential for system interoperability, primarily achieved through standardization. In this demonstration, we will explore the communication protocols that govern various energy assets and illustrate how they control power. We will examine scenarios from both the plant and grid operator perspectives, incorporating photovoltaic systems (PV), batteries, electric vehicles (EV), and grid monitoring mechanisms.
