ElaadNL Webtalks

webtalks-tot10dec

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. The next one is on 26 November and will be about electric transport from an anthropological point of view.

Electric transport from an anthropological point of view

26 November 2020 - Lotte Gardien (ElaadNL)

12.00 - 12:45 pm

Behavioural researcher Lotte Gardien investigates 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.

Make 3-stage charging the norm!

10 December 2020 - Herman Wagter (Connekt), Arjan Wargers (Enexis) and Thijs van Wijk (ElaadNL)

12.00 - 12:45 pm

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).

  • 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.

  • 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 deliver 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.
