We moeten stoppen met de gedachte dat geld geen rol speelt, als het om uitbreiding van onze energienetwerken gaat, meent Martien Visser.

This report has been established within the Flexiheat project. Flexiheat has focused on increasing flexibility in district heating systems. The intelligent district heating network is a dynamic network: an open network where different waste heat and renewable energy sources are connected, that has multiple producers and groups of consumers and facilitates the connection between different energy infrastructures (gas, heat and electricity). Eventually this will lead to an optimal deployment of the available heat sources and an increased cost-efficiency of district heating. Flexiheat aims to develop new concepts for these intelligent, flexible district heating networks. One of the strategies is to allow third party access to the network. A smart control system is developed to manage the heat flows across the network. This system makes use of dynamic pricing. In this exploration the concept of third party access in relation to the Flexiheat project will be discussed. The development of new business and price models based on the Flexiheat approach has led to an analysis of possible alternative price models for consumers.

Methods to design viable business networks (BNs) treat the concept of viability merely in terms of profitability. Further, the methods are restricted to mono-commodity (a single product or a service) BNs. However, business literature suggests that besides economic value (profit), non-economic values (e.g. lowering CO2 emission) play an important role in making BNs viable. Furthermore, BNs can also be multi-commodity (e.g. electricity, gas, heat). Hence, we aim to develop an method to determine a viable configuration of services for multi-commodity BNs. In addition, the term viability is used in an extended scope to include non-economic values.

Elektriciteitsprijzen, ook de negatieve prijzen, zijn een Noordwest-Europees fenomeen. Wat er in het kleine Nederland gebeurt speelt een geringe rol, meent Martien Visser

In tijden van corona is de energietransitie plots minder spannend. Beteugeling van het virus heeft voorrang. Eendrachtig wordt gezocht naar een medicijn of vaccin. Als ik de berichten mag geloven, gaat dat in recordtijd lukken. Laten we het hopen.

Martien Visser vraagt zich af wie eigenlijk verantwoordelijk is voor de betrouwbaarheid van de energievoorziening.
