INCITE

INCITE (Innovative controls for renewable source integration into smart energy systems) is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network (ITN-ETN) funded by the HORIZON 2020 Programme that brings together experts on control and power systems, from academia and industry with the aim of training fourteen young researchers capable of providing innovative control solutions for the future electrical networks.

Objectives of the INCITE Summer School

The objectives of the INCITE Summer School are to provide lectures related to large-scale systems, distributed control, power electronics, power systems, and other subjects related to smart grids. All the lectures will be given by experts in the field.
The summer school is not only beneficial for improving the technical skills of the participating students, but also for establishing a network of contacts that can help them in their professional career.

Travel information

• There is an excellent train connection between Schiphol airport and Delft, with trains running every around 15 minutes. See www.ns.nl/en for the time schedule.
  Note that there are two railway stations in Delft: Delft (i.e., the main railway station, this is the recommended one and the closest one to the center) and Delft Zuid.
• To get from the main railway station to the university, you can use bus lines (40, 55, 69, or 174). See 9292.nl/en for schedules (in From, fill out "Station Delft"; in To, fill out "TU - Aula" bus stop)
• Parking space is limited at the University. Hence, if possible, we recommend you to use public transportation to get to Delft instead of taking your car.
  If you do take your own car, please follow the signs to get from the highway exit to the university.
• For traveling within Delft you could use the bus, taxi, or just walk. Moreover, it is possible to rent bicycles and probably the easiest way to do so is to use MoBikes.

• There are around 30 hotels in Delft. Some recommended hotels are:
  • Hotel Juliana - The closest to the university
  • WestCord Hotel Delft - Located outside the city center but still close to the University.
  • Hotel Leeuwenbrug - Located in the city center and very close to the train station.
  • Museumhotel - Located in the city center.
  • Hampshire Hotel Delft Centre - Located at the edge of the city center and 20' walk far from the train station .
