SynergyS: A robust and societal carried energy system

In the climate deal, six missions for innovation are determined, developed in thirteen programs (MMIP’s). The MMIP13-program focuses on various parts of the energy system and develops knowledge and innovations. The SynergyS-project is part of this program and focuses on the development and testing of a smart control-system for smart multi commodity energy systems (SMCES) made for the built environment and industry.

Opportunities for businesses, grid operators, and citizens

Within the SynergyS-project we test the SMCES-system in real world situations and research how various conditions influence the reliability, robustness, affordability, safety and efficiency of the energy system. We also investigate the economic benefits of SMCES that emerges by the synergy of electricity, hydrogen and warmth. Well-governed SMCES could transform the market and offer new economic opportunities for businesses, grid operators, and citizens. The SMCES-design that is being developed, helps with the construction of a hybrid energy system with electricity, hydrogen and warmth. The experiments for the industry take place at Entrance and for the built environment at TU Delft.

Contribute to a reliable energy system

The energy system becomes increasingly complex and will change a lot in the upcoming years. For decisions about the new structure and functioning of the energy system, a transition process is necessary. For this we must take infrastructure, decision-making, management, market forces and business models into consideration. It is important that the energy system stays reliable under every situation. This research contributes to that.
