Congratulations to Elena Raycheva for having successfully presented the methodology and results of the CentIv module at the MEDPOWER 2020 conference!

The Nexus-​e team successfully held its annual strategy meeting to conclude the past fruitful year and to draw a roadmap for the future. In a hybrid format with members joining online and in-​person, the team aligned on the vision and identified tasks for the coming months and years.

Nexus-e was presented online in the virtual exhibition of the ETH Industry eWeek 2020. It was also demonstrated as a video case study under the topic “energy and construction”. During the event, Prof. Gabriela Hug answered questions regarding the case study and the Nexus-e platform.

Pranjal is currently a MSc student in Energy Science and Technology at ETH Zurich. She will conduct her Master’s thesis on the diffusion of solar PV and battery storage in Switzerland under different energy system scenarios.

Last weekend, the Energy Science Center participated in the Energy Data Hackdays 2020 in Brugg. The Hackdays provided an excellent opportunity to challenge an interdisciplinary team into rethinking ways of visualising existing energy data. In a rapid and creative process and under the guidance of ESC team members, a team of four successfully tackled the posed challenge and presented a well-​functioning prototype after only 30 hours.

The Nexus-e team welcomes Dr. Florian Landis to be in charge of the macroeconomic modelling as one of the core modules in the Nexus-e platform.
