NWA Grant for research into reorganization of the Dutch energy market

To ensure that we have enough energy available at all times, the organization of the energy sector needs to change. TU Delft researchers Laurens de Vries, Kenneth Bruninx, Aad Correlje and Mathijs de Weerdt will be working on a project that revises the Dutch energy market for a CO2-neutral energy system. The project has acquired an NWA grant.

Protecting a Sustainable Future

For Marjan Popov it is clear: our society is at a crossroads. “We are undertaking perhaps the biggest engineering challenge of our time – we are radically changing the electricity grids.” According to him, the complexity of the electricity grids is comparable to the human body. “Similar to how patients are treated, in terms of taking care of their health, we should always monitor, control, and protect the electricity grids. I make this comparison because both the human body and the electricity grid are vulnerable to many different diseases, or disturbances, and some of them can have serious consequences. Therefore, undertaking comprehensive security and safety measures is an essential part of our energy transition.”
