Energy

For this year’s final AMS Science for the City in Pakhuis de Zwijger, we’ll dive into the complex dynamics of the energy transition. For Energy & Spatial Change we’ve invited active stakeholders in Amsterdam to talk about how the energy transition changes our cities and landscapes. What are the societal, spatial and technological questions the transition to sustainable energy raises for the city of Amsterdam, the metropolitan region and the country as a whole? What is the impact of the changeover on the living environment, urban areas and rural landscapes? How much space does the transition require, and are we able to accommodate this in densely populated cities like Amsterdam?

About AMS Science for the City
Set up by Pakhuis de Zwijger and AMS Institute, AMS Science for the City, is a bi-monthly evening highlighting and discussing how scientific innovation can help solve the complex urban challenges Amsterdam faces. Upcoming and established (inter)national urban professionals from AMS Institute and its academic partners (TU Delft, Wageningen University & Research, MIT) introduce the newest research and practical solutions within urban themes like water, energy, waste, food, data and mobility.

UN predictions indicate that in 2050, the demographics of urban areas will be fairly equal to the total population of the world in 2002. With constant development of the cities, economic, social and creative opportunities increase which forms the major attraction for the inflow of population.

As per the estimates from McKinsey, the top 600 cities in the world will account for 60% GDP by 2025. In no time, the smart city industry will be a $400 billion market by 2020. But the fact still remains that urbanisation comes hand in hand with some major challenges which are faced commonly by the world’s fastest growing cities.

Energy efficiency is an integral part of a smart city. How you reduce resource consumption and how you produce resourceful innovation while you advance the city stands as the fundamental foundation for every city infrastructure.

But why talk only about energy efficiency? Well, if you have a closer look, from the sensors to the big data and vehicles to the buildings every bit of infrastructure has a link with energy. And if this energy is pulled out of exhaustive resources there wouldn’t be anything to rely on by 2050.

In the night of October 3rd, city councillor Mario Jacobs officially revealed two very special street lights in the city of Tilburg, the Netherlands. The two Soluxio solar light posts are the first off-grid solar light poles in Tilburg: a city that's one step closer to the future of smart cities.

Street lighting will play an important role in the cities of the future. A light post that generates its own energy can serve as a charging station for smartphones, notebooks or electrical vehicles or bikes. “In the future of the smart city, street lights will regulate traffic and measure air quality” says Lennert van den Berg, founder of FlexSol Solutions. The two Soluxio solar street lights could therefore play an important role in the city of Tilburg.

Like all Soluxios, the two solar street lights in Tilburg are connected to the internet wirelessly. The software and lighting scheme will receive updates through the online management platform. The masts indicate when maintenance is due automatically. Other smart city applications such as cameras or air quality sensors can be integrated in the future using the integrated data bus, giving the municipality maximum flexibility. The Soluxio is truly sustainable and ready for the future.

AEB Amsterdam, Port of Amsterdam, Senfal and Energy eXchange Enablers will jointly supply ship-to-shore power to river cruise and inland navigation vessels. The pilot project is intended to promote the use of sustainable, locally generated power in the port and to reduce costs.

The participation of AEB Amsterdam is an important step for the ship-to-shore power project, as it means that a producer of sustainable energy is directly involved in the pilot project. This mirrors the port’s ambitions: to supply locally generated sustainable electricity to customers in the port.

Information from Port of Amsterdam on the use of berths and arrival times for vessels based on self-learning software, developed by the company Senfal, is linked to a digital market place for electricity. Entrnce, as this trading platform from Energy eXchange Enablers (EXE) is called, provides a direct link between the producer of electricity and the customer.

Shore power stations make it possible for river cruise and inland navigation vessels to switch off their diesel generators at the quay. They will use the sustainable power grid, meaning no emissions are released at the site concerned. The pilot project will increase the use of sustainable power in the port, allow costs to be reduced, and also provide improved matching of fluctuations in sustainable energy supply and demand.

AEB Amsterdam is the largest supplier of sustainable energy in the Amsterdam region. “We are able to optimise supply because we produce both electricity and heat,” says the strategic adviser Peter Simoës. “Whenever there is a peak in demand for sustainable electricity, we can increase production slightly by temporarily supplying less heat to our buffer, and vice versa. This cushion makes better matching of supply and demand possible and offers scope for supplying more solar or wind energy to the port, for instance.”

Robin Schipper, commercial manager Circular & Renewable Industry at Port of Amsterdam: “This pilot project provides us with very significant insights for preparing our port for the energy market of the future. In the future, you want to be able to source local sustainable energy even if there is no wind or the sun is not shining. A range of smart applications is used in this pilot project that will reduce costs for the businesses in the port area. We are aiming for green for the price of grey!”

Ambitions

The transition to more sustainable and local sources requires new market models. This pilot project, launched on the basis of the Clean Capital alliance and partly funded by the European demonstration project City-zen, is a good example of this kind of market model; locally generated energy is used locally without the interposition of a traditional electricity supplier. In tandem with innovative parties such as Senfal and EXE, it is possible to make the transition to the smart and sustainable energy network of the future.

Port of Amsterdam wants to link a wind farm and solar panels directly to users as well in the near term. The EXE trading platform also offers small producers an opportunity to enter the market and optimise trading between them. The software from Senfal is able to match electricity supply and demand, creating a single system. This steps up the innovation and sustainability of the pilot project even further to provide a genuine example of a local sustainable energy network.

Join the last Smart Data, Smart City session of this year! This time we are part of the Green IT Week, focusing on Smart Energy Infrastructure.

The network of transmission lines, substations and transformers that deliver electricity to our homes and businesses, is becoming more and more smart. The digital technology and the sensing that allow for two-way communication between the utility and its customers, is what makes the grid smart.

Smart Energy Infrastructure is not just about utilities and technologies; it is about giving you the information and tools you need to make choices about your energy use. And what about the data you provide with these energy infrastructures? In this session, we will highlight smart energy infrastructures at home and elsewhere.

From ideas in a barn to Dutch design lampposts. One of the companies that will be part of the Amsterdam delegation at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, is Lightwell. They also joined us last year! Why do they like to go again? And most importantly, who are they? We spoke to managing director Peter Paul Metz and asked him about the company.

How has Lightwell started off?

Peter Paul: ‘Lightwell started literally in a barn in a garden in Amsterdam in 2009. At that time, LED technology was rather new. Most of the public lighting was not sustainable at all. It was all old technology. Three men started Lightwell to change this. The second step for Lightwell was the collaboration with the Dutch Design School. Together with architect Friso Kramer we developed a sustainable, design lamppost full of the newest technology.’

And since then? How have you developed?

Lightwell doesn’t focus on being more sustainable only. Sustainability is a global trend and LED lighting is getting more ordinary. What is unique about us, is our ability to integrate our sustainable product with smart infrastructure. We call this Lightmotion. Our lampposts have the sustainable LED lighting and can also charge electric cars, have camera surveillance and Wi-Fi. It can also be a hub with smart sensors to measure the environment. This Lightmotion is an interesting product in the smart city. In a while, we would love to see 10 percent of the lampposts being multifunctional devices. Every location has other needs, so our lamppost can adapt to this. In one place, sensors are desired and on busier spots it could be interesting for the lamppost to be a car charger. Within a few years we got a lot of certifications, which is an important step in our development.

Why do you think it is important to join the Smart City Expo in Barcelona?

There are a lot of events in the world, but we cannot miss the Expo in Barcelona. We have to be there! It is the place where we can meet other cities and companies. Last year at the Expo, there was a lot of interest in our products, but we could not show the Lightmotion yet. This year, we don’t only have a good story, we also have examples of orders. In the Netherlands, we just sold 10 Lightmotions, lampposts that charge cars, and 10 Bikemotions, lampposts that charge electric bikes.

Want to more about Lightwell or do you have a question for Peter Paul?

The global water crisis is a soaring issue calling for a holistic approach inclusive of wise investments, innovation in technology, change in behaviour and collaborative policies. The growing water concern needs immediate attention as United Nation’s global analysis confirm that by 2025, 1.8 billion people will be residing in countries facing critical water scarcity and by then two-third of the world’s population will have minimal access to water.

We work to reduce energy consumption in all types of buildings, we have an average energy reduction of 78% compared to traditional systems. I am looking for developers/projects that want to know more about how to reduce energy consumption and be way below the 2020 EU standards.

The system works in both new construction as well as in existing buildings, in both heavy and light construction. It is also compatible with all existing heating sources, as well as solar panels, and battery cells. Innenco customizes the system based on the architecture of each object, as a standard, we will give you an exact calculation on the energy saving if you send us a blueprint of the building.

You can contact me via email: peter.martensson@innenco.com

Hey, are you interested in learning about vertical farming and have a few hours a week to help us out? We are looking for people who want to learn how to grow food indoors in our brand new vertical farm. We'll train you and make you part of our team of vertical farmers. In return we hope you will help us seed, monitor, grow and harvest the farm. (and of course take some great healthy food home). We just organized the first volunteer meeting last week, but it's not too late to take part in this project.

If you are interested, get in touch through info@a-lab.nl.

Here in A Lab we are very aware that the coming 20 years or so will have far-reaching consequences for the earth and its inhabitants. As a community, we want to tackle these challenges head-on, using the latest technologies to help us become more sustainable and less wasteful. Community-funded projects such as the A Lab Vertical Farm allow us to utilize our members' skillsets in a way that is both useful to us and interesting to outside observers.

The community funded and run A Lab Vertical Farm explores the way we will grow food in the 21st century. How can new technologies help us build a more sustainable, clean and safe ecosystem around food production and consumption? The crops from this farm will be used by The Coffee Virus. The data collection will add to our future knowledge base. Next to this, the farm will also educate 500 children about the future of food and healthy living.

In the Smart City, citizens, data and technology are the biggest enablers. That is why Amsterdam Smart City and Datalab joined forces to organize six ‘Smart Data, Smart City’ events in 2017. On the 21st of September, event number four took place. Curious about the content or feel like continuing the discussion? Read on!

This event focused on one of the Amsterdam Smart City projects that aims to make housing in Amsterdam more sustainable. Leading questions on this night were: how can data support the transition towards sustainable housing? What other purpose could that data serve? Where do challenges exist and what is the role of residents in this transition?

Marc Schoneveld, representative of the Datalab Amsterdam, presented several internet sources where you can find data. He noticed that not a lot of sources covered the energy-theme. With this statement, the starting point of the discussion was set.

Jasper Kol, initiator of Woonconnect020, gathers around a network of energy suppliers, energy advisors and contractors to create a simple, accessible web-based application that enables consumers to improve the sustainability of their homes within three mouse-clicks. His pitch and enthusiasm excited the audience. It also raised some ethical questions.

Because; why is it important to have data? Is it that important to have everything measured before you start isolating or putting solar panels on rooftops? Some initial questions from the audience, answered by Melchior Kanyemesha from Amsterdam Smart City.

Look at your street. All houses are made up from brick and mortar, all contain windows, front doors, a roof. Look closer, and you see differences in age, window size, ceiling heights et cetera. Gathering these characteristics creates a suitable environment for cooperation, whereby multiple houses can be made more sustainable simultaneously if they share similarities. For instance, when knowing 50.000 windows have the same dimensions, price arrangements can be made to efficiently swap single to double glazed windows.

Call to action

We need to collect characteristics of houses in Amsterdam, but to what extent? And perhaps more importantly, who needs to collect this data and for what purpose? We invited Ruurd Priester, research fellow at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) to moderate a discussion with an expert panel of four to discuss these questions.

The panel consisted of Pepijn Post from The Sustainables, Sanne Hettinga from Geodan, Tim van Kempen from BackHOOM and Paco de Mulder from BuildingID. Their companies are searching for a central database containing detailed information about houses so that the current tailored approach to improve sustainability can be upgraded to a collectivistic approach.

What followed was a heated debate around the practical to do’s and tools that need to be developed. Within this debate, the panel shared its experience in the field and interaction with citizens, causing the discussion to focus more about the role of citizens (instead of the role of data).

This brought the audience to the centre of attention. Some praised the approach that gathers as much data as possible: being able to scan a house and know exactly what solution would fit best. To some, this approach was too technical, ignoring the social context of implementation. Someone referred to a neighbourhood-wide sustainability project in Leusden, whereby a large group of homeowners agreed to invest in sustainable solutions. Striking was the main incentive for people to improve their houses. People do not improve sustainability for financial, ecological or ideological reasons. People were not per se convinced by spread-sheet data. People do it because ‘the neighbours have one too’. This trickle-down approach should be carried out more according to some in the audience.

Continue the discussion

Since a lot of topics were discussed, there simply was not enough time to conclude certain debates. Perhaps that is why many people stayed afterwards for a drink. For those who want to make any remarks on the discussion topics, we invite you to place a comment below answering one of these questions:

- What does your government need to do to accelerate the uptake of sustainable solutions?

- What role does the private sector need to take?

- How can we accurately gather data without violating privacy laws?

- Do you think the ambition to become disconnected from the gas-grid is too ambitious/not ambitious enough?
