Elaad NL Webtalks 14-01-2021, 28-01-2021 and 11-02-2021
ElaadNL Webtalks
ElaadNL will organise regular webtalks on a topic in the field of electric transport and the grid in the near future. One or more experts present briefly (in about 15 minutes) their research and then answer questions. We hold the ElaadNL webtalks on Thursday afternoons at noon. These are about smart charging and discharging of electric cars with also the Call Make three-phase charging of electric cars the norm!
Lessons from testing electric cars at ElaadNL's Test Lab
14 January 2021 - Thijs van Wijk (ElaadNL)
12.00 - 12:45 pm
What lessons do ElaadNL researchers draw from testing electric cars at Elaad's Testlab in Arnhem? How do electric cars score on interoperability, smart charging and Power Quality? Trends and developments.
Questions can be asked during the presentation (via chat) but also in advance by sending an email to info@elaad.nl.
Presenting the Smart Charging Guide (english language edition)
January 28th, 2021 - Frank Geerts (ElaadNL)
12.00 P.M. - 12.45 P.M. (Central European Time)
Back to the basics. Frank Geerts (ElaadNL) will be presenting the Smart Charging Guide. What are the basic thougths and ideas about Smart Charging? Why is it necesary to use Smart Charging when charging millions of EVs? How does it work and what needs to be done to make it successful.
Questions can be asked during the presentation (via chat) but also in advance by sending an email to info@elaad.nl.
Electrification of construction: how fast will construction equipment become electric?
11 February 2021 - Nazir Refa and Jan van Rookhuijzen (ElaadNL)
12.00 - 12:45 pm
Presentation on the research results of the ElaadNL Outlook into the electrification of cranes, excavators and other construction equipment, among others.
Questions could be asked during the presentation (via chat) but also already via email to info@elaad.nl.

Make 3 phase charging the norm!
Herman Wagter (Connekt), Arjan Wargers (Enexis) and Thijs van Wijk (ElaadNL)What is 3 phase charging? What is the importance for the electric driver but also for the right balance on the grid? These questions were the focus of the last 2020 webtalk on 10 December. We talked about them with Herman Wagter (Connekt), Arjan Wargers (Enexis) and Thijs van Wijk (ElaadNL).

Electric transport from an anthropological point of view
Lotte Gardien (ElaadNL)Behavioural researcher Lotte Gardien studies the adoption of smart charging by EV drivers for ElaadNL. Before joining ElaadNL in 2011, she was already doing research at the intersection of people and climate for her studies in Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University. In this webtalk, she presents the preliminary conclusions of her research and takes an anthropological look at electric driving and the EV driver.

Electrification of container transport in inland shipping
Niels Poiesz (Stedin) and Jan van Rookhuijzen (ElaadNL)Waterborne transport lends itself perfectly to electrification. What opportunities and challenges can we expect from electric inland vessels in the next decade? Researchers from Stedin and ElaadNL present the results of the ElaadNL Outlook on this topic in this Webtalk.
With an expert panel of:
- Martin Quispel - EICB
- Leon Sluiman - ENGIE
- Willem Dedden - ZES

The road to the Energy Hub
Luuk van Loosdrecht and Rein Boshuisen (both of Stevin) and Paul Broos (ElaadNL)An energy hub is a location where a lot of energy supply and/or demand comes together. Think of a motorway service area with fast chargers for cars, a truck charger and local generation. But all these facilities are not there at once. For each facility, the grid operator receives a new expansion request. How can the grid operator proactively ensure sufficient capacity without having to repeatedly bury kilometres of cables? We answered these and other questions during a webinar on energy hubs on 29 October 2020. More info on the Energy Hub can be found on Stevin's website, among others: www.stevin.com/energy-hub.

Electric Cars Emit Even Less CO2 than Assumed So Far
Auke Hoekstra (TU Eindhoven)English lecture on how to compare the CO2 emission of electric cars and cars with an internal combustin engine.

The rise of electric vans in the Netherlands
Ruud Noordijk and Nazir Refa (both from ElaadNL)Now that electric passenger cars are conquering Dutch roads, the question comes up more often: where are the electric delivery vehicles? Researchers from knowledge and innovation centre ElaadNL come up with three scenarios predicting that e-delivery vehicles will catch up. In their analysis, they also look at the impact of a (rapidly) growing number of electric delivery vehicles on the required infrastructure.

Additional CO2 savings from smart charging and discharging electric cars
Linda Punt (Erasmus University student, Stedin and ElaadNL trainee)Smart charging (Smart Charging) of electric cars can save tons of extra CO2. If electric cars additionally supply stored sustainable power back to the grid (Vehicle to Grid, V2G), the additional CO2 gain can be almost doubled. Linda Punt used various data sources on charging and on renewable energy and put them into models to say something about this. What? You can hear about that in this webtalk!

The electrification of heavy transport in the Netherlands
Nazir Refa and Jan van Rookhuyzen (both of ElaadNL)
Researchers at knowledge and innovation centre ElaadNL expect a sharp growth in the number of electric trucks in national and international logistics from 2025 onwards. Because these e-trucks will charge at very high powers, a new charging network needs to be constructed along European transport corridors, among others. Governments, grid operators and the logistics sector are working together in the National Charging Infrastructure Agenda (NAL) to ensure the smooth electrification of heavy transport.
