Our energy system needs to change from one based on fossil-fuel to one based on sustainable energy. This raises significant challenges, such as enhancing the resilience of the energy system against future (price) perturbations and further optimizing the use of the existing capacity. The innovation committee of PWN and Math4NL organized a brainstorm session with mathematicians and stakeholders in energy systems. The goal of this session was to set clear future goals that need to be addressed and to stimulate new research collaborations.
The ideas and goals discussed during the brainstorm session are written down in a whitepaper and an infographic. This whitepaper has identified 4 main innovation directions where mathematics can have a decisive impact on challenges in energy systems. By spreading this whitepaper and the associated infographic, we want to stimulate collaborations to take up these innovation directions.
This infographic identifies major areas where advances in mathematics and computing can lead to immediate and long-term solutions to the challenges around energy systems in the Netherlands and beyond.
For each of the central challenges, mathematical research groups in the relevant fields are ready to contribute. If you want to read more, you can download the whitepaper and the infographic.
