Major NWO Grant for Digital Twin Energy-System Studies
A consortium project, 'Understanding Large and cOmplex Power sYstems' (UTOPYS), led by TU Delft, has received €16.5 million from NWO's Large-Scale Research Infrastructure (LSRI) programme.
The project aims to build the world's largest research cluster for real-time energy system studies, creating a digital twin that dynamically represents complex electricity systems.
- Allows researchers to simulate and study tomorrow's grid before it is built
- Enables realistic, repeatable experimentation on technical behaviour, market rules, and resilience under various scenarios
The new research infrastructure will be the first of its kind worldwide.
Electricity systems worldwide face pressures from the electrification of transport, heating, and industry, driving unprecedented loading and congestion.
Author's summary: NWO grants €16.5 million for a digital twin energy-system study.
