Knowledge & Skills
Our team has developed expertise in the field of smart grids, particularly involving two major projects the team has worked on or is currently working on:
Flexipac (http://www.flexipac.ulg.ac.be/)
Smart micro-cogeneration (http://www.bems.ulg.ac.be/index.php?option=com\_content&view=article&id=74%3Asmartmicrocogen&catid=5%3Aprojets&Itemid=10&lang=fr)
We have expertise in smart networks, problems related to intermittent renewable energy production, adjustable loads, flexibilization, heating systems (heat pumps, CHP) that allow for flexible operations with or without energy storage in the building or using traditional storage solutions.
Our team also supervises Master’s theses on the topic of smart grids.
