PowerWeb Institute
The electrical power infrastructure is rapidly changing due to the growing use of distributed renewable sources and is becoming increasingly complex to manage. Today's electricity market requires an infrastructure for flexible, reconfigurable smart grids that can facilitate the producer and consumer in their changing needs. Future electricity grids ask for a multi-layered ICT approach in order to become robust. And need to be embedded in society as a socio-technological system in itself.
TU Delft PowerWeb Institute
In search of integral solutions for this changing energy market, three faculties at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) joined forces in the PowerWeb initiative. Our view on smart grids research comprises the integrated study of the underlying physical systems (hardware), the design of smart energy management systems (software), and the study of smart grids in relation to their societal and economic environment (peopleware). This will allow us to model and design ICT systems that integrate energy production and consumption services in a robust way.
The TU Delft PowerWeb Institute is one of energy pillars of the TU Delft Energy Initiative.

Nieuwe Electrical Sustainable Powerlab leidt energietransitie in goede banen
In Delft verrijst een nieuw laboratorium dat uniek is in de wereld. In het Electrical Sustainable Powerlab onderzoeken wetenschappers straks onder een dak zowel de opwekking, transport, distributie als de afname van elektriciteit door huishoudens en bedrijven. Om ervoor te zorgen dat de energietransitie naar meer duurzame energie vlekkeloos verloopt.

Baljinnyam Sereeter wins drone at PowerWeb’s PhD poster contest 2018
On 13 November the PowerWeb PhD poster contest 2018 took place at X Delft. The judges subscribed all 20 posters as high level and great passion at every 2 minute pitch. The clarity to explain your research in such a short time is a challenge, but they all did very well. First prize winner is Baljinnyam Sereeter, second prize is for Nils van der Blij and last but especially according to the audience, not least: at third place Kaikai Pan.

CWI onderzoekers maken energienetwerk stabieler met wiskunde
Onderzoekers van Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) hebben ontdekt hoe schommelingen van wind- en zonne-energie storingen in electriciteitsnetwerken kunnen veroorzaken. Het wiskundig raamwerk ontwikkeld door de onderzoekers biedt ondersteuning bij het voorspellen van mogelijke stroomstoringen in het hoogspanningsnetwerk.
