| Abstract: | This research aims to investigate how to inform an audience about the use of energy hubs and smart grids in the energy transition on the Dutch energy grid to close the knowledge gap between Enodes and their clients through the use of a visual tool. It investigated the main functions of an energy hub: producing, storing and consuming electricity. Research showed that hierarchy, balance, simplifying, staying truthful and adding information are important when creating visuals. Furthermore, an audience can be defined by its characteristics. When communicating, these characteristics have to be kept in mind to create an engaging message. To communicate the use of energy hubs in the energy transition, an interactive animation was created. The interactive video consists of three videos: an introduction video, a video targeted towards sustainability experts and a video targeted towards business owners. These are the two most important clients of Enodes. The introduction video explains the energy transition and the functions of energy hubs. The two other video provide specific information for the clients so that they have the important information about energy hubs. The interactive animation was received positively by the client, Enodes, as well as the important stakeholders; a sustainability expert and a business owner on a business park. The video was perceived as a useful tool that is able to explain the need for energy hubs as well as the functions of an energy hub. It was recognised that the visuals were simple and fit with the animations. Furthermore, the voice-over was clear and understandable. The video is a promising prototype which will help to explain energy hubs in a quick and understandable way. |
