Delft Design for Values proposal accepted

News - 04 September 2019 - Communication

Abhigyan Singh’s, IDE postdoc, proposal ‘Values in peer-to-peer energy exchanges in smart decentralised energy systems’ has been accepted by the Delft Design for Values (DDfV) Open Subsidy programme. The proposal, which has been awarded € 7,000, extends findings of Abhigyan’s PhD research. IDE's Professor David Keyson and Dr Zeki Erkin of EEMCS are co-applicants.

The team is developing a larger grant application on ideas for TKI Urban Energy. The ambition is to build a large multidisciplinary research proposal that aims to understand, facilitate, and design for a plurality of values in peer to per energy exchanges. Various industrial institutions such as Blocklab, Greenchoice, Stedin, and Rabobank have already joined forces for developing the grant proposal. DDfV Open Subsidy will help in preparing this larger grant.

DDfV's Open Subsidy programme invited researchers from TU Delft who are working on design for values to send in their project proposals. Seed funding up to € 7,000 could be requested for interfaculty projects contributing to design for values research.
