8 Smart Grids Flanders Activities 1. Project initiation 2. Information dissemination 3. Networking By means of Thematic groups (each 5x/year) Crea-events Workshops Study days Website (members/not-members)/newsletters

9 Thematic groups 5 sessions/year each: each focused on a specific theme Multidisciplinary: technical, market-related & regulatory Smart grids is more than only technology! Location: hosted by SGF member or linked to event Timing: am 4 to 5 speakers From different stakeholders: manufacturers, regulators, system operators, energy suppliers, service companies, market platforms, research institutes, etc. Sometimes international: learning from best practices Limited audience facilitates interaction & questions

10 Thematic groups 0 oktober december januari maart juni september november januari Grid intelligence Grid connected vehicle Home intelligence

11 Project initiation Scope Stimulate innovation by cooperation in Flanders Flemish companies to international cooperation How 1. Active generation of ideas (open) 2. Selection of ideas 3. Tailored guidance (closed open) 4. Dissemination of results (open)

12 Agenda 1. Smart Grids Flanders: an intro 2. The electricity grid: context 3. The electricity grid: evolutions 4. What are Smart Grids?

13 The traditional grid Electricity Central generation Industry Residential area Buildings

14 Traditional grid in balance Generation & consumption in balance Consumption is partly predictable Synthetic load profile Generation is planned Peak load (control) Medium load Base load Also balance with failure (N-1-safety)
