LOCHEM ENERGIE – IN4ENERGYWHAT IS THE GOAL?

Make an affordable and reliable transition towards a sustainable energy supply chain possible:What is the influence of the introduction of large scale PV?

What is the expected effect?

What is the actual effect?

Verify and improve models

What is the expected effect of even more PV/wind/etc.?

LOCHEM ENERGIEWHAT IS THE GOAL?

Lochem becomes self sufficient?!

Lochem Energie becomes and energy supplier?!

04/21/23 10

AUTONOMOUS?!

There are a lot of these initiatives

Very strong coherence within the collectives

What if the a large share of the energy in the Netherlands is consumed within autonomous collectives?

AUTONOMOUS COLLECTIVES IN THE NETHERLANDS??

CURRENT SITUATION

04/21/23 13

A LARGE NUMBER OF AUTONOMOUS COLLECTIVES

??

More and more autonomous collectives originate

A lot of different stakeholders and different objectives

Local optima are no global optima

Within collectives participants are willing to cooperate for a common goal

THUS?

Netherlands exists of a lot of of (semi-)autonomous microgrids

Cooperation between these microgrids is a necessity

Cooperation within the microgrids too!

This results in an hierarchical structure for the Smart Grid management system

Different methodologies should be able to cooperate, each with their own objective

Standards and interfaces become more and more important!
