In our opinion, the same code that runs your simulations for energy optimization should also run in production, when you actually control your flexible assets in real time. This will decrease your time-to-market as well as your chances of failure, and it will give you more strategic options during operations. Why? 1. After the simulation…
Heijmans Hive building (credit: DOOR architecten) Visualization of simulation progress, good for deep dives Indication of KPIs, here: business case The steering challenge: Heijmans is taking initiative in operating smart energy buildings. They begin with their modern office building, “Hive”. They’re about to install solar, (v2g) chargers, batteries and boilers. Choice of equipment is one…

Process scheduling (green) and the operation reality (violet), next to CO₂ signal CO₂ Intensity per day, grouped by day of the week The steering challenge: The Rijnland water board runs centrifuges to clean Dutch waste water. A centrifuge should process 8 tonnes of sludge per day. Rijnland has an energy contract with fixed costs, but…
Ard adds a calendar item for his Nissan Leaf car on his phone, … suspended silence… “Click” The Quasar EV charger springs into action and charges Ard’s Nissan Leaf, in expectation of him needing the car soon. The needles on our HomeAssistant app are switching, as well. V2G@Home demo in Utrecht, NL Smiles all around.…
The V2G@Home Living Lab we do together with Ard Jonker of Positive Design has closed the optimisation loop, with an eye on usability! As stated before, optimizing charging in a V2G situation with flexible tariffs, fluctuating solar and random car usage requires smart machine learning in the cloud. This meant we have to bring FlexMeasures…
