During the four weeks of this web class you will explore some of the different aspects of the BA Industrial Engineering & Management. The focus of this web class will be on smart grids.

Please note that this web class will not be offered this academic year. We hope to have a new web class ready next autumn (2025).

Web class

This web class is about smart grids. Nowadays a lot of renewable energy resources such as wind and sunlight are used. However, this poses some unique problems. Most renewable energy resources are not always available. For example, there is no sunlight during the night and some days it is more windy than other days. Smart grids integrate smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources and other devices to solve this problem. The smart grid can for example charge your car when there is an excess of energy and stop charging when there is a high demand.
