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.

Looking back
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 will briefly (in about 15 minutes) present their research and then answer questions.
ElaadNL will hold webtalks on single Thursday afternoons at noon.
The second one on 17 September was about the additional CO2 savings from smart charging and discharging of electric cars.
For the following webtalks, please register and/or request to be sent the presentations.
Electric Cars Emit Even Less CO2 than Assumed So Far
October 15th, 2020 - Auke Hoekstra (TU Eindhoven)
12.00 p.m. - 12.45 p.m. (Central European Summer Time)
More info will follow.
Questions can be asked during the presentation (via the chat) but also in advance via an email to info@elaad.nl.
