ISGAN Webinar - Storage technologies for transport and insular systems in the SINNOGENES project

ISGAN Virtual Learning invites you to an informative webinar focused on the implementation and benefits of hybrid power systems in insular environments. This session will feature insights from the SINNOGENES EU project’s pilot on the island of Ikaria, Greece. We will delve into technology integration, challenges, and potential grid enhancements.

Additionally, we will highlight the significance of adopting AI technology and simulation to facilitate the management of transport fleets and the synergy with the energy networks, in a hydrogen-oriented environment located in Geneva, Switzerland.
Furthermore, the webinar will explore prospective modelling of the European energy system to elucidate the role of specific technologies in meeting future energy needs. We will present the Artelys Crystal Super Grid modelling tool, showcasing its effectiveness in analyzing the role of storage technologies in providing flexibility to the European energy system, as part of the SINNOGENES project.

The speakers:

	Nikos Andriopoulos, Researcher, Independent Power Transmission Operator
	Quentin Matthewson, Technical project manager, Transports Publics Genevois
	Georgios Spanos, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas
	Grégoire Thillaye du Boullay, Project Manager, Artelys France

Intended audience

Policy makers, utility managers, TSOs, DSOs, renewable energy professionals, PTOs, PTAs engineers involved in power system planning and operation and in software development, and academic researchers in energy studies, public transport, and AI.
