Botta, G. (author), Mor, R.K. (author), Patel, H.C. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author)Bi-directional solid oxide cell systems (Bi-SOC) are being increasingly considered as an electrical energy storage method and consequently as a means to boost the penetration of renewable energy (RE) and to improve the grid flexibility by power-to-gas electrochemical conversion. A major advantage of these systems is that the same SOC stack...journal article 2018

Khan, A.S.M. (author), Verzijlbergh, R.A. (author), Sakinci, Ozgur Can (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)To ensure security of supply and incentivize reliable investment in generation capacity, capacity markets (CMs) have been implemented or are being considered. However, demand response (DR) and electrical energy storage (EES) also contribute to system adequacy. In this paper, we analyse the change in the need for a CM if DR and EES are...journal article 2018

Bloemendal, Martin (author), Jaxa-Rozen, M. (author), Olsthoorn, T.N. (author)Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) systems contribute to reducing fossil energy consumption by providing sustainable space heating and cooling for buildings by seasonal storage of heat. ATES is important for the energy transition in many urban areas in North America, Europe and Asia. Despite the modest current ATES adoption level of about...journal article 2018

Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)The recent trend to design more efficient and versatile ships has increased the variety in hybrid propulsion and power supply architectures. In order to improve performance with these architectures, intelligent control strategies are required, while mostly conventional control strategies are applied currently. First, this paper classifies...review 2017

Oldenbroek, V.D.W.M. (author), Wijtzes, Siebren (author), van Wijk, A.J.M. (author), Blok, K. (author)In a 2050 fully renewable national electricity, heating and road transport system primary energy supply comes from non-dispatchable power generation such as solar and wind energy. Both negative and positive dispatchable balancing power plants need to balance the system. This work investigates whether parked and grid connected (Vehicle-to-Grid...conference paper 2017

Bloemendal, Martin (author), Hartog, N (author)Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is a technology to sustainably provide space heating and cooling. Particularly in The Netherlands the number of ATES systems has grown rapidly in the past decade, often with the (re)development of urban areas. To meet objectives for greenhouse gas emission reduction the number of ATES systems is expected and...conference paper 2016

Building climate energy management in smart thermal grids via aquifer thermal energy storage systemsRostampour, Vahab (author), Jaxa-Rozen, M. (author), Bloemendal, Martin (author), Keviczky, T. (author)This paper proposes a building energy management framework, described by mixed logical dynamical systems due to operating constraints and logic rules, together with an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) model. We develop a deterministic model predictive control strategy to meet building thermal energy demand. At each sampling a mixed...conference paper 2016

Baalbergen, F. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Ferreira, J.A. (author)Diesel generators in small electricity grids are mostly not used in a very efficient way. The reason for this is twofold. First of all, the efficiency of a diesel generator is dependent on the ratio determined by the average power divided by the peak power of the generator. The smaller this ratio is, the lower the efficiency. Furthermore, some...journal article 2009
