EUR 4 million for research on green energy market

How can you set up a reliable energy system on the road to 2050 whose sources – solar and wind power – are variable? The answer will probably be a combination of market design, grid arrangements and energy policy. But the question remains how to do this. This is also the subject of the extensive MODES (Market Organisation of the Dutch Energy System) research programme that was awarded NWO funding of almost EUR 4 million this July.

The main applicant is Laurens de Vries, Professor of Complex Energy Transitions at the Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management (TPM). Other applicants from TU Delft are Kenneth Bruninx (TPM), Aad Correljé (TPM) and Matthijs de Weerdt (Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science). There are also 17 co-applicants from various universities and universities of applied sciences in addition to more than 50 partners working in government and industry.

MODES will investigate the affordability, sustainability, fairness and transparency of different future energy systems. It will research feasible market designs for electricity and green hydrogen from offshore wind farms. And it will also simulate the impact of policies on the future energy market.

The research into the design of future energy systems is part of the National Science Agenda (NWA), which was put together by Dutch citizens. Believing that knowledge is key to societal impact, the NWA encourages knowledge production through collaboration between government bodies, researchers and civil society organisations.
