Featured Speakers: Steve Heinen, Future Network and Planning Manager and Duncan Head, GM Insights, Vector Limited

Steve Heinen

About the Webinar: The rapid emergence of electric vehicles can deliver energy security and environmental benefits by transitioning transportation from oil to electricity infrastructure, but will also pose new challenges to the electricity system. In order to better understand customer behaviour and network requirements for at-home charging, Vector, New Zealand’s largest electricity and gas distributor, has been carrying out an EV Smart Charging Trial with 200 EV owners over the last 2 years. The trial demonstrated that Smart Charing can successfully integrate EVs into the network while delivering customer satisfaction. The webinar will provide real-world insights and practical advice for strategists, engineers and other energy professionals around EV network integration based on the findings of the EV Smart Charging Trial.

About the Speakers: Steve Heinen is Future Network and Planning Manager at Vector. His responsibilities include architecting the network of the future and designing wire and non-wire solutions to meet future demand and customer expectations . Steve has previously worked a researcher at University College Dublin in Ireland, a global leader in integration of variable renewables, at the International Energy Agency in Paris and with ALSTOM Power. He has authored multiple journal articles and international reports such as the IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives and Smart Grid Roadmap. Steve received a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, a master’s degree (MSc ETH) in mechanical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Switzerland, and a Master’s degree in energy economics from Paris-Dauphine University, France.
