Congestion Management in NL Workshop (2025) Structured Discussions Session Voting Data

This dataset contains the results of the Structured Participatory Discussion session in the "Workshop on Congestion Management in the Netherlands" in October 2025. The discussion session followed the related topics introduced in the preceding lectures (see https://ees-tue.github.io/congestion-management-nl/program/). Participants responded to a series of choice and ranking questions using Mentimeter. Each question included contextual/ oral explanations before voting, ensuring that the responses reflect informed perspectives on congestion management challenges and possible solutions in the Dutch/EU electricity system. There are three main topics in the whole discussion session, which are the technical research gap, policy reception, and end users&amp; energy community. The questions were designed in a step-by-step manner to progressively capture participants’ views, expectations, and assessments across these thematic areas.<br>Description of the files included<br> <em>Workshop on NL Congestion Management.pdf</em>This file contains the slides used during the discussion session. It includes:All questions/slides shown to participantsThe direct visual outputs generated in Mentimeter during the workshop (e.g., bar charts, word clouds, rankings)This document provides a clear overview of the structure of the session and the immediate results as presented in the workshop.<br> <em>Workshop on NL Congestion Management.xlsx</em>This Excel file provides the detailed voting results exported directly from Mentimeter. It contains two sheets: <em>Voters</em>– anonymized individual-level responses, listing each participant’s selections for each question.<em>Session</em> – contains per-question summary statistics, including respondent counts and aggregated vote distributions.This spreadsheet allows users to perform their own analysis, such as comparing question results, examining response patterns, or integrating the data into broader studies on congestion management and stakeholder behavior.<br>Relevance and Potential Applications of the DatasetThe dataset provides a concise overview of stakeholder perceptions across several themes relevant to congestion management in the Dutch/EU electricity system. As such, it may serve as a valuable complement to technical analyses and can support research, policy development, and scenario studies that require insight into stakeholder views and preferences. In addition, social scientists, policymakers, and practitioners involved in the energy community may also find the dataset informative for understanding how different groups perceive congestion-related challenges.

本数据集收录了2025年10月荷兰拥塞管理研讨会中结构化参与式讨论环节的成果。本次讨论环节基于前期讲座中介绍的相关主题展开（详见https://ees-tue.github.io/congestion-management-nl/program/）。参会者通过Mentimeter（Mentimeter）工具完成了一系列选择与排序类问题，投票前均配有情境说明与口头讲解，确保反馈能够体现针对荷兰/欧盟电力系统拥塞管理挑战与可行解决方案的基于充分信息的见解。本次讨论共涵盖三大核心主题：技术研究缺口、政策接受度，以及终端用户与能源社区。所有问题均采用循序渐进的设计思路，逐步获取参会者在上述主题领域内的观点、期望与评估。

### 收录文件说明
1. **《荷兰拥塞管理研讨会.pdf》**
该文件包含讨论环节使用的演示幻灯片，具体内容包括：向参会者展示的全部问题与幻灯片、研讨会期间通过Mentimeter生成的直接可视化输出（如柱状图、词云、排序结果等）。本文档清晰呈现了本次讨论环节的流程结构与现场即时成果。
2. **《荷兰拥塞管理研讨会.xlsx》**
该Excel文件直接从Mentimeter导出，包含详细的投票结果，内设两个工作表：
- **《受访者》（Voters）**：经匿名化处理的个体层面应答数据，记录每位参会者在各问题中的选择。
- **《会议环节》（Session）**：包含按问题分类的汇总统计数据，包括受访者人数与聚合投票分布。
该表格可供用户开展自主分析，例如对比不同问题的结果、探究应答模式，或可将数据整合至拥塞管理与利益相关者行为相关的更广泛研究中。

### 数据集的价值与潜在应用场景
