Title De energietransitie onder hoogspanning: de High Voltage Technologies Group Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet TU Delft stories Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 1 pag. Country/Territory Netherlands Date 9/04/24 Description Even geleden dachten we dat het niet meer nodig was binnen TU Delft: een groep die helemaal is gericht op het onderhouden en ontwikkelen van hoogspanning. De verwachting was namelijk dat het net in Nederland decentraal geregeld zou gaan worden, en dat huishoudens zelf stroom zouden gaan opwekken. Deels is dit waarheid geworden, maar veel van de duurzame energie komt in grote brokken, bijvoorbeeld via offshore windparken en grote zonnevelden. “Het feit is dat wij hoogspanning meer nodig hebben dan ooit”, benadrukt prof. Peter Vaessen. “Dit is ook de reden waarom we bij de TU Delft een nieuwe, heropgerichte hoogspanningsgroep hebben: de High Voltage Technologies Group.” URL https://www.tudelft.nl/stories/articles/de-energietransitie-onder-hoogspanning-de-high-voltage-technologies-group Persons P.T.M. Vaessen Title The energy transition under high tension: the High Voltage Technologies Group Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet TU Delft stories Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 1 pag. Country/Territory Netherlands Date 9/04/24 Description A while ago we thought it was no longer needed within TU Delft: a group entirely dedicated to maintaining and developing the use of high voltage. After all, the expectation was that the grid would become decentralised in the Netherlands, and that households would start generating their own electricity. This has partly become true, however, a vast amount of the renewable energy comes in large ‘chunks’, for example through offshore wind farms and large solar fields. "The fact is that we need high-voltage more than ever," Prof Peter Vaessen emphasizes. "This is also the reason we have a new, revived high-voltage group at TU Delft: the High Voltage Technologies Group."
