Helgason, Thorkell (author)Producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources will play a pivotal role in the energy transition. It can reduce emissions in hard-to-abate sectors and be used for grid balancing services. The energy industry is looking into multiple different system configurations to produce green hydrogen. One such system is an offshore stand-alone wind...master thesis 2022

de Groot, Lucan (author)Visible Light Communication (VLC) has been gaining interest in the industry and academia for the last decade. VLC enables a high-speed communication alternative to conventional radio such as Bluetooth or WiFi and presents a solution to the 'spectrum crunch'. More recently, the combination of energy harvesting and VLC has been explored to enable...master thesis 2022

van den Broek, Erik (author)High-fidelity models are computationally intensive to work with in many-query applications, such as the design process of small modular reactors. A reduced order model of the high-fidelity model can still accurately determine the quantities of interest with only a fraction of the computational cost, and thus can potentially solve the...master thesis 2022

Damond, Jori (author)As our electricity system becomes more complex, decentralized, and unstable, research on solutions to relieve the grid are needed. Local energy storage could contribute significantly to the solution. This study focused on one solution in particular: the neighborhood battery. Neighborhood batteries are emerging as a technical and social...master thesis 2022

Doorman, Anniek (author)Intermittent renewable energy supply changes in time and is uncertain, and needs to be balanced (i.e. matched) with demand at all times, which requires system flexibility. Congested distribution and transmission grids in the Netherlands and Germany highlights the importance of providing system flexibility. Residential, commercial and industrial...master thesis 2022

Kramer, Zino (author)This research aims to analyse the non-ohmic resistance of multiple ion-exchange membranes (IEM) in series, for a better understanding of membrane resistances. These membranes can be found in series in energy storage systems such as acid-base flow batteries (ABFB).<br/>The effect of different current densities on the ohmic and non-ohmic...master thesis 2022

Kaminski, Jonas (author)The demand for environmentally friendly aviation has increased the interest in alternative concepts, such as hybrid-electric propulsion systems. A novel conceptual hybrid-electric sizing methodology was devised, which provides a detailed engine performance prediction and an accurate sizing of the powertrain components. The performance prediction...master thesis 2022

Coerkamp, Rutger (author)The mass production of lithium-ion batteries used in, for instance, electric vehicles led to significant cost reductions. However, concerns are emerging about the availability of resources and the environmental impact of the production. Metal-air batteries use more resource-efficient materials and potentially have higher energy densities than...master thesis 2022

Rietveld, Jip (author)Renewable energy generation projects are often measured by their peak capacity. A wind farm rated at 25 MW will generate 25 MW of power under the right circumstances. This peak capacity is reached very little in practice. However, these generators are forced to purchase grid operation infrastructure that can handle this peak generation event....master thesis 2022

Dankers, Kevin (author)Batteries are an essential tool for energy transition. They provide the ability to reduce imbalances by absorbing the forecast errors for consumers and renewable energy sources. This has the added benefit that congestions occurring due to supply and demand mismatches would be prevented. Furthermore, they allow generating a stable power...master thesis 2022

Joshi, Ian (author)In a community energy project, batteries are the asset with the shortest lifespan and are therefore key contributors to cost. Understanding the influence of the battery state of health model on a control algorithm designed for redistribution of benefits in terms of financial gains in a community energy project can help elongate battery lifetime...bachelor thesis 2022

Suy, Xander (author)Urgent action is needed to decrease maritime emissions. The renewable wind energy sector must also decrease its life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Total GHG emissions from offshore wind turbines are approximately 120% more compared to onshore wind turbines. Moreover, it is estimated that Walk to Work (W2W) vessels are responsible for 3.3...master thesis 2022
