Living Lab Scheveningen has been working on the subject of smart energy grids for several years and is building its own smart network on the Northern Harbour Head. Through this tender, we want to purchase the lion's share of the digital infrastructure and its management for the project period up to and including 2025.

Living Lab Scheveningen has been working on the subject of smart energy grids for several years and is building its own smart network on the Northern Harbour Head. Various municipal users, such as the Port Control Centre, an event power point and solar panels for municipal real estate, are already using the grid and the smart measurement at a high level of detail.

The next step is to further expand the electricity grid with physical and digital infrastructure, and the necessary governance through an energy cooperative in which the intended users are united, namely the municipality and some beach entrepreneurs. In December 2022, a collaboration was therefore concluded with Stedin to make the grid 'semi-autonomous', with data infrastructure, dashboarding, prediction models, control mechanisms and management software. With this we want to unlock the flexibility in the electricity grid in order to offer a solution for transport scarcity on the electricity grid and to better integrate sustainable energy generation into the local network. This experiment provides important information to achieve the realization and operationalization of these types of semi-autonomous networks, with possibilities for scaling up throughout the city and region where Stedin is active, as well as as an example for other network operators.

Through this tender, we want to purchase the lion's share of the digital infrastructure and its management for the project period up to and including 2025.
