Powering the future - the role of balancing energy systems
On 14 November the Research Group Balanced Energy Systems organizes a symposium and the inauguration of Shima Mousavi Gargari
The energy transition represents a monumental shift in how we generate and consume power. Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires a systemic approach to the challenges of the energy transition. At HAN University of Applied Sciences, the Research Group Balanced Energy Systems focuses on a sustainable, reliable and affordable energy system for the future.
We invite you to join us for an afternoon program on 14 November, where we will discuss major issues in the energy transition like the role of grid congestion, power quality and nuclear energy. Two of the research group’s Associate Professors, Carolien Kattenbelt and Leo Polak, will lead you through this program and tell you more about the activities of the research group.
Part of the program is the inauguration of Shima Mousavi Gargari, Professor Reliable Power Supply by special appointment. In her role within the HAN Research Group Balanced Energy Systems, she will focus on asset management. The energy transition necessitates a strategic approach to asset management, particularly in addressing the intermittency of renewable sources and ensuring grid reliability and stability.
