ETIP SNET which prioritizes research and innovation in smart networks and sector coupling, is launching a full tour of Europe with regional workshops in 4 different European cities. Aachen, Lisbon, Larnaca, Riga will be centres of attention of European actors of the energy transition within the next 4 months.
Over 400 experts from across Europe are expected to meet and debate at four regional workshops about on-going local and national projects in smart energy networks. The regional workshops help projects be aware of and build on each other across borders, with increased flexibility of the electric system in order to integrate fluctuating renewables being one focus of projects across all regions.
ETIP SNET guides European R&I activities in the area of Smart Energy Networks. This covers areas such as power system management, storage and interface to other networks as heating, gas or transport networks, flexible generation, digitalisation of the power system, and customer involvement
Each of the four regions covers a different set of countries, aiming to build a complete picture about ongoing research and innovation in Europe. The regions covered and the dates of these workshops are:
- 18-19 September, Aachen: Central Region (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Poland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia), with a keynote from ETIP SNET Chair Konstantin Staschus;
- 28-29 September, Lisbon: Western Region (France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the UK), with a keynote from ETIP SNET Vice Chair Thierry Le Boucher;
