TPM Resilience Ignite Talk: dr Guillermo Borragán

15 September 2022 16:00 till 17:00 | Add to my calendar

We are delighted to invite you to our monthly TPM Resilience Ignite Talk! In this monthly uplifting TPM Resilience Lab Ignite Talk dr Guillermo Borragán will tell us all about sustainable charging solutions.

This is an online talk!  You can join us online through zoom: https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/97599636620

Short abstract

New climate goals and policies promoting the electrification of services are expected to significantly accelerate the sales of electric vehicles in the period 2025-2030. As a highly urbanized region, Flanders and its cities require from a smart(er) integration of local energy systems and mobility services in urban settings. Providing sufficient collective parking and charging infrastructure for a wide variety of e-mobility services is, therefore becoming a growing need. In addition, a parallel challenge is also ensuring that these services are powered by renewable energy sources. The present study has collected data among Flanders drivers to shed light on the factors reflecting preferences for future parking and charging services. Issues such as charging load profile, heterogeneity of user preferences or barriers to integrate renewable charging are analysed and discussed to optimise the implementation of tailored charging algorithms. The outputs are part of a larger effort to develop the necessary knowledge to accelerate the integration of energy and mobility systems into an urban mobility hub.

We will start with a short talk followed by ample time to dive deeper based on your questions.

Bio Guillermo Borragán (M) – Ph.D.

Guillermo Borragán is a cognitive environmental scientist with experience integrating technology to the development of sustainable territories. His work focuses on the integration of human factors to the design of energy efficiency programs and energy and climate plans. With a background at the crossroads between cognitive science, energy, and data science, he contributes to ensure the long-term success of these strategies by exploring the individual and collective elements that promote community engagement. Before joining VITO/EnergyVille in 2019, he completed a PhD in neuroimaging signal processing and human performance using neuroeconomic models. As part of his postdoc experience in Paris, he engineered data-oriented digital solutions to integrate user demand-response into local smart grids. Besides, he also led a project developing dynamic algorithms to offer energy efficiency tailored advice to households. He has participated in numerous international conferences and he is author of several peer-reviewed publications. During the last years, he has participated in EU research projects related to the energy performance of smart buildings and neighbourhoods (X-tendo, Digital Building Logbook, ePANACEA, SRI). He is now involved in two projects commissioned by the Flemish government on the modelling of end-user uptake of low-voltage technologies.
