On 12 September 12 a public workshop of the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) took place on the premises of Thor Central, located on the Thor Science Park in Genk, Belgium. The workshop titled “Building the flexible power systems. From analog to digital, from lorry to EV, from customers to prosumers” was co-hosted by the FPS Economy, SME, Self-Employed and Energy – DG Energy & EnergyVille.
This ISGAN public workshop gathered world-class speakers from international organizations, public authorities, utilities and research institutes to exchange views on current and future energy policies, to showcase best practices and to bring together experts in various technologies to come to a power system vision. The main focus was on unlocking the full flexibility potential throughout the power system in order to reach the ambitious targets for the deployment of renewable energy sources.
