How is Elia Group contributing to a sustainable future? ⚡ As the owner of two grid operators in Belgium and Germany, it has been working with Eraneos to build eCO₂grid, which measures and models the carbon intensity of the electricity available across the grid using Google’s #VertexAI. This will help companies make informed decisions about their energy supply and help them reduce their carbon footprint. Find out more in our blog post here ↓

#hetkanwel https://lnkd.in/eV42PNQw Interessant overzicht van de gestage groei van #duurzame #opwek. Mooie groeicijfers! "Renewable sources contributed 32.4% of total OECD electricity production in August 2024, representing a 7.6% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by significant increases in solar (+27.3% y-o-y) and wind (+5.5% y-o-y) generation. The continued growth in solar generation saw double-digit increases across all regions year-on-year: OECD Americas +32.2%, OECD Europe +28.8% and OECD Asia Oceania +16.8%. Wind generation in OECD Asia Oceania increased by 40% year-on-year to 5 TWh, or 2.8% of total generation in the region. OECD Europe generated the largest amount of electricity from wind in August 2024 (37.9 TWh), an increase of 5.5% year-on-year".

Are you frustrated with existing software solutions that don’t fit your organizations needs? Do you have a hunch or idea you want to test out but don’t know where to start? Moving Data Insights will be demonstrating how to implement data analytics + AI while minimizing financial risk at the AI Summit Nov 7 in Eindhoven. Check us out to see the value and learning that can be generated by building a proof of concept (PoC) in 1-month. Here’s what that time will look like: • Week 1: Data discovery & goal alignment • Week 2: Data integration & model building • Week 3: Al & ML model building • Week 4: POC deployment (reports, dashboards, web apps, etc.) By the end of the PoC, you’ll feel empowered to make decision on data analytics + AI. We begin each week with a learning module specifically tailored to your project. Ready to start now? Setup a meeting with me to discuss your needs. https://lnkd.in/exfjpfhN

Sales & Ops field trip – exploring our Grid Hubs! 💪 😁 Last week, I joined our operations team at one of our grid hubs. It was inspiring to see the logos of our partners, Atlas Copco Rental Solutions and Bredenoord, on the battery systems. By integrating mobile batteries from various suppliers, we create an ideal solution for battery owners and grid connection locations with excess capacity. Grid hubs are a great strategy for rental businesses to manage seasonality. 🌞 🌦 Many of our partners on Skoon Energy’s platform specialise in temporary energy solutions, for specific markets. Clean energy systems therefore often have lower utilisation during certain months. For instance, companies might experience a quieter summer, as construction firms take breaks and grid congestion decreases despite higher electricity needs. It’s impressive to see these batteries on-site generating revenue (after cost deduction) of up to €4,000 per MW per week! For more details on the numbers, I recommend this post by Renno Welberg, CCO of our partner Eddy Grid: https://lnkd.in/dHH_62Rh. So - Why Am I Sharing This? We’re expanding and actively seeking new locations in the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond with available capacity in their energy contracts. If your company has this, we can turn your large grid connection costs into profits while helping balance the national energy grid.

Prompting = Teaching = Learning AI pair programming is not just a powerful tool for writing code, but also for learning complex subjects. 'Teaching' Cursor to build a music app taught me a lot about music theory. The possibilities are endless. I used to question the wisdom of teaching AI everything we know, but now I wonder if we’re learning more than we’re teaching.

🥶 Winter (2030) is coming!! 🥶 TNO published a report on Friday on the role of smart devices on low voltage congestion management (link). It gives the (rather obvious) conclusion that grid congestion can be prevented using energy flexibility and smart devices. In some cases, additional measures will be necessary. Link to the report in the comment section. Main highlight is the overview on the required flexibility needs of detached houses by 2030. The graphs show that in the Winter 50 % of detached houses require more than 50 % of the flexibility potential that is available (orange/red zone). This is a huge challenge and opportunity for our industry! Based on our own data and (rough) estimations currently about 15 % of EVs are engaged in smart charging services in the Netherlands. The adoption rate therefore needs to increase about fourfold while the total amount of (B)EVs is growing about threefold! A twelvefold increase in basically five years. Some other conclusions that can be drawn from the report: The report shows the use (and limitations) of existing protocols and basically confirms the clear need to aggregate device APIs. Luckily, we at Jedlix (Part of Kraken) are getting to +85 % control coverage and managed APIs on EVs by the end of 2025 (more on that in another post). EU directives (RED III) to enforce access will help to set the right foundation. It also means there is more need and opportunities for additional residential flex. V2G, home batteries, whatever works at a reasonable price. The waiting time is over. Other measures will come forward if V2G is not available on a proper scale! Energy suppliers probably have the best position to service EV drivers in those services, but obviously this is not an exclusive domain. Excited to see many of our partners like Eneco, Vattenfall, ENGIE Energie Nederland NV, NextEnergy, Kia Nederland and Hyundai Motor Nederland being involved and taking responsibility even though grid incentives are unclear and everything but standardized. We have no time to lose to set the right conditions to build the smart fleet. With time of use DSO rates it will become easier to engage more users with an attractive offering, although we have to wait till 2028. Why not speed up this development? Not doing anything will mean something has to give and it won’t be pretty. Expect serious restrictions from the DSOs, high costs for end users who cant participate and (indirect) limitations on EV sales. Building up a smart charging fleet is basically an investment to stay in control of these developments. Whether you work with us or do something else,

Theory of Constraints (TOC) in ICT Service Management by Michel Stijlen The subtitle of this presentation is "Deliver more, faster and more reliable ICT services and projects". Michel shows the buy-in process to implement TOC to ICT Service Management, starting with the objective of an ICT department and then showing the dilema that ICT services face. In this presentation Michel shares the elements (injection, what for and how) of the solution (50% reduction in lead times, properly assign task priorities, aggregation of work) to significantly increase the performance of an ICT department.
