Please note that this is a physical activity at the Energy Academy building.

Traditionally, the energy system has a relatively simple chain with limited links and players: energy is produced centrally and brought to the end user. The energy transition is leading to new developments in the energy system. The system has more decentralized energy generators, more diversity in supply, and energy behavior and demand are becoming more complex. Are you able to create a system? Put theory into practice during this masterclass. 

  • Get to know the complexity of system integration 
  • Join the Serious Game with an interdisciplinary team 
  • Learn what it takes to create an energy system on the North Sea 


The masterclass starts with a lecture about system integration. This is followed by a Serious Game about system integration on the North Sea. During this game, the players are challenged with both a variable production and demand for energy. Furthermore, restrictions for placing installations are taken into account, which can include for instance military areas for naval transportation. 

This activity can be used for the following certificates:

  • Energy Academy Certificate
  • Energy Transition Challenged
  • Thu 4 November
  • 14:00 - 17:00 (CET)
