DiGiSect – Design and Operation of Digitalized Sector-Coupled Energy Systems

Traditional energy systems operate in silos, with separate infrastructures for electricity, heating, and transportation. A sector-coupled energy system offers greater benefits by enabling energy to flow between these sectors, enhancing flexibility and sustainability. However, designing and operating these interconnected systems efficiently remains a challenge. Digitalization plays a key role in making sector coupling feasible, alongside regulatory frameworks, market integration, infrastructure, and investment.

Both academia and industry are actively exploring innovative solutions, leveraging digital technologies for communication, information exchange, and system management.

The DiGiSect workshop brings together experts and industry leaders to share knowledge and discuss the design and operation of digitalized sector-coupled energy systems. Through collaboration, we aim to drive advancements that will shape the future of integrated energy networks.
