🌍 Lunch Lecture: Challenging Energy Systems through Social Innovation 🌍 In today’s energy landscape, technology alone isn't enough to achieve sustainability. To create a more equitable and just energy system, we need to embrace social innovations—new ways of thinking, doing, and organizing that shift social relationships. Join us as Tessa de Geus, postdoc researcher at Utrecht University, explores how energy communities, participatory dialogues, and campaigns against certain energy pathways can transform the current system. She’ll also dive into the complexities and potential 'dark sides' of these innovations. 🔎 Moderated By: Francesco Lombardi 📅 Date: 17 October 2024, Thursday ⏰ Time: 12:45-13:30 (Lunch from 12:15) 📍 Location: Lecture Hall Chip, Faculty EEMCS Register asap: https://lnkd.in/e5a_M6Wz Delft University of Technology TU Delft Energy Club TU Delft | Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Yumiko Henneberry, Ph.D. Lily Li TU Delft PowerWeb Institute #EnergySystems #SocialInnovation #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #JustTransition #PowerRelations #TransformativeChange #ParticipatoryEnergy #UtrechtUniversity #POTRANSI #ClimateAction

🌍 Solar Electric Vehicles: Driving the Future of Energy 🌞🚗: https://lnkd.in/d7EARfmD As the world pivots towards renewable energy, Solar Electric Vehicles (SEVs) offer an exciting solution for sustainable transportation. By reducing reliance on grid electricity and tapping into solar power, SEVs have the potential to transform the way we move while contributing to a greener planet. But there’s more to it—SEVs also come with technical challenges like integrating solar panels into vehicle design and ensuring sufficient energy capture for practical use. 🔎 In Module 4 of the MOOC "Business Implications of Intelligent and Integrated Energy Systems," https://lnkd.in/d7EARfmD, you'll explore: How SEVs can help alleviate the burden on overstretched electricity grids. The financial and environmental impact of SEVs compared to traditional electric vehicles. Innovative developments like smart charging to balance energy demands. 🌐 Why is this topic hot today? With the global push to phase out fossil fuel cars by 2030 and rising concerns over grid capacity, SEVs represent a critical juncture between clean energy and modern transportation. The restricted capacity of our current grids underscores the importance of SEVs in easing future demand. 🎓 How can you benefit? This course provides a deep dive into the intersection of renewable energy, transportation, and grid management—equipping you with knowledge on sustainable energy systems that are becoming increasingly essential for professionals in the energy, automotive, and tech industries. Ready to be part of the future of energy? Sign up now to gain unique insights and shape the energy systems of tomorrow. 💡🔋 Course Starts: 26 September 2024 #renewableenergy #solarvehicles #energymarkets #transportation #TUDelft #cleantech #smartgrid
