KIVI Innovation Drinks Twente
Omschrijving
You are invited to a brand new edition of the KIVI Innovation Drinks Twente! This edition will start with two inspiring presentations about smart grid and will conclude with an informal networking drink.
The first presentation is given by Irma Stegmann, business analyst at Jedlix.
Jedlix is a leading smart charging software start-up. Their platform and apps connect the charging of electric vehicles with renewable energy and markets. This supports the integration of renewable energy and lowers the costs to charge electric cars. The best of both worlds! They do this in a unique and innovative way by integrating with the connected systems of car manufacturers and charge point operators.
Jedlix is partnering with Tesla, Renault, BMW and many more to come. As a cleantech start-up Jedlix is backed by Dutch renewable energy utility Eneco and Groupe Renault. During the presentation on the 7th the speaker will focus on how smart charging of electrical vehicles can support smart grids.
The second presentation will be given by Martijn Schoot Uiterkamp MSc, PhD candidate algorithms energy supply & demand.
The number of electric vehicles that are connected to the (smart) grid is increasing rapidly. The current electricity grid is not able to accommodate such a large increase in electric vehicles. As a result, large-scale electric vehicle charging can cause blackouts and wearing of grid assets. To prevent these problems, smart energy management is needed to coordinate the charging of electric vehicles.
At the University of Twente, the Energy group of the chair Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems (CAES) conducts research on smart energy management in residential energy grids. This multidisciplinary group unites the fields of electrical engineering, embedded systems, computer science and mathematics to tackle the energy management problems of the future. The group actively collaborates with distribution and transmission system operators (both in the Netherlands and abroad) and participates in several smart grid field tests. More information can be found at www.utwente.nl/ctit/energy/.
Would you like to broaden your professional network or are you curious about smart grid? Get in touch, share your thoughts and broaden your network at the KIVI Innovation Drinks Twente! There will be free drinks and there is no entrance fee.
We hope to see you on the 7th of December!
