The TU/e is working on a modern, green campus. Due to the construction of the TU/e Campus and events organized in the aforementioned area, certain locations sometimes may be less accessible. Whenever areas at the TU/e Campus are less accessible, we will list the locations and dates on this page below.
Reason
The Netherlands is struggling with grid congestion due to the rapid energy transition and the growth of solar and wind energy. This problem also hinders the TU/e campus and surrounding companies. In order not to exceed TU/e's contracted power, peakshaving, among other things, is necessary.
To this end, the TU/e and EIRES have launched the GENIUS project. This project focuses on innovative solutions for the university's closed distribution system (GDS), with the aim of optimizing the use of the electricity grid, reducing CO₂ emissions and preventing TU/e from exceeding its contracted power. By using an Energy Storage System (EOS) of 3.5 MWh, the above problems can be greatly and partially solved.
Location:
The Energy Storage System will be placed by Real Estate at P9.
Work:
- Installing power facilities.
- Realizing a site layout with fencing.
- Placing storage containers for lithium-ion energy carriers.
- Placing the Energy Storage System (EOS).
Nuisance
- From September 2, 2024 (week 36), fewer parking spaces will be available at P9.
- From September 2, 2024 (week 36) to November 8, 2024 (week 45), bicyclists may be inconvenienced, but the campus will remain accessible via the bike path near Twinning Center.
