Projectcoordinator Ugent EELab/ Lemcko is active in the integration of renewable energy and energy storage in electrical distribution networks. Simulation, modelling and experimental verification are all very important to study the future challenges on the electrical net. Furthermore analysis and aggregation of loading and userprofiles are studied on different timeframes and from different perspectives (load balance, flexibility,…)

EnergyVille is a collaboration between the Belgian research partners KU Leuven, VITO, imec and UHasselt in the fields of sustainable energy and intelligent energy systems. EnergyVille develops technology and knowledge to support public and private stakeholders in the transition to an energy efficient, decarbonised and sustainable urban environment. The unique complementarity of the research partners allows us to integrate the energy system value chain in its entirety, ranging from materials and components to the level of entire energy systems, business models and strategies. Our activities are clustered in eight interdisciplinary domains: solar energy, battery storage, power electronics, power-to-molecules, thermal systems, electrical networks, energy for buildings and districts, energy strategies and markets.

VITO is an independent Flemish research institute in the field of cleantech and sustainable development. The Water & Energy Transition (WET) unit focuses, among other things, on advanced methods and optimization algorithms that are both academically advanced and practically applicable. Both in the field of building and city energy management systems (BEMS) and in the field of grid decision support - especially for European low-voltage distribution networks - VITO, in collaboration with the Flemish distribution system operator Fluvius and other European distribution system operators, has gained a significant amount of academic and practical experience. The WET department has multidisciplinary expertise in electricity networks, heating networks, smart networks, flexibility in energy consumption and large-scale integration of renewable energy sources, including assessment of the financial/commercial impact of building assets, renovation and energy installations.
