The distributed and unpredictable nature of renewable energy calls for better matching of supply and demand.
It is still too much ignored in the public debate that if the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine, that electrical power must come from another "source".
Now, these are predominantly gas-fired power plants that make up the difference between supply and demand. But by directing energy flows more intelligently and/or converting to other energy carriers such as hydrogen and heat, this can be accommodated differently. Without these system innovations, we will run into the physical and financial limits of grid expansion, as we are already experiencing.
This has an impact on the security of supply and affordability of the system.
At The Green Village, knowledge and educational institutions, companies, governments and citizens research, experiment, validate and demonstrate their sustainable innovations.
The Green Village is a regulatory "open-air laboratory" on TU Delft Campus with a focus on the built environment where testing can take place at district, street and building level.
With access to TU Delft's innovation ecosystem, science is literally around the corner. People live, work and learn.
In the 24/7 Energy Lab programme, TU Delft, together with Wintersol and others, is developing a local, CO2-free energy system for the built environment.
The energy system ensures that locally generated solar energy is used where possible, stored in a battery for short-term storage, and converted to hydrogen for long-term storage, in other words bridging from summer to winter.
Non-technological aspects, which are equally important, are also explored.
These include economic, health and safety aspects, and the permitting process. This is done on the site of the already mentioned
