#23 Dutch Israeli Mini-Symposium on Energy System Integration (15 Feb)
Objective
Stimulate information exchange and explore opportunities for collaboration ranging from R&D to market application between IL and NL on the topic of energy system integration.
Background
This symposium focuses on the coordinated planning and operation of the energy system across multiple energy carriers, infrastructures, and consumption sectors, for a more efficient, circular, and reliable energy system. The system as a whole is central here, not specific parts. Energy systems integration is characterized by decentralization, electrification, new market mechanisms (such as peer-to-peer trading and active market participation of prosumers) and is driven by digitization. Relevance of this topic has increased dramatically in recent years due to the rapid phasing out of old and introduction of new energy sources, carriers, and consumers into the energy system, leading to concerns regarding the resilience and reliability of our energy system.
Target audience
Energy providers, grid operators, policy makers, (academic) researchers
