Hermans, B.A.L.M. (author), Walker, S. (author), Ludlage, J.H.A. (author), Özkan, L. (author)The transition to renewable energy sources, particularly sources like wind and solar induces a dependency on weather in the supply side of electrical grids. At the same time, the move to electric mobility with uncontrolled charging induces extra peak loads on these grids. These developments can cause grid congestion or an imbalance between the...journal article 2024

Xiao, J. (author), Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Communication-based distributed secondary control is deemed necessary to restore the state of islanding AC microgrids to set points. As its limited global information, the microgrids become vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which by falsifying the communicating singles, like the angular frequency, can disturb the power dispatch in the microgrids...journal article 2024

Diab, I. (author), Damianakis, Nikolaos (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)This paper proposes a shared multi-stakeholder PV system for traction substations and nearby residential loads to reduce the need for storage, AC grid exchange, and curtailment. The residential stakeholders offer both the base electrical load and the solar panels installation space needed by the traction stakeholder, who brings the peak load...journal article 2024

Zöllner, András (author)The renewable generation capacity, particularly solar and wind power installations, has increased steadily in the Netherlands over the course of recent years. Due to the local, small-scale nature of these power plants (compared to conventional power plants), a large share of this generation capacity is installed into the medium- and low-voltage...master thesis 2023

Ban, Hanyuan (author)Gaussian process regression (GPR), a potent non-parametric data modeling tool, has gained attention but is hindered by its high com- putational load. State-of-the-art low-rank approximations like struc- tured kernel interpolation (SKI)-based methods offer efficiency, yet lack a strategy for determining the number of grid points, a pivotal factor...master thesis 2023

Versteegen, Robin (author)The growing number of dementia patients in the Netherlands has many consequences. Many people with early stage dementia live at home and are cared for by relatives. This creates a lot of pressure and stress for both the patient and the informal caregiver. A well-known and popular solution to this problem is farm-based day care, which is...master thesis 2023

van Loo, Joey (author)All over the world, cities are attempting to emit less carbon to limit the possibly detrimental effects of human-induced climate change. One way to limit carbon emissions is by reducing fossil fuel car use and transitioning to forms of low-carbon mobility. Electric vehicles (EVs) are an exponentially popular low-carbon transport solution,...master thesis 2023

Egberts, G. (author)Burns can make patients’ lives quite miserable. Apart from prominent and thickened, or hypertrophic, scars, the skin may be characterized by contraction. When this contraction is so severe that the patient loses joint mobility, it is called contracture. Then a patient may have difficulties with sports or other daily activities. The consequence...doctoral thesis 2023

Dekkers, Mees (author)The Paris Agreement seeks to limit global temperature rise and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The UN's Sustainable Development Goal 7 emphasizes sustainable energy access, with smart grids playing a crucial role. These grids adapt to user behavior and interconnect various components. While smart grids address challenges in integrating...master thesis 2023

Wiesman, Sam (author)The Dutch energy transition is alive and kicking, however problems arise because of this same transition. Transmission grid congestion is one of them, whereby the grid cannot handle all the extra electricity from wind and solar power, combined with the extra demand due to electrification. Furthermore, business parks have a large potential for...master thesis 2023

Zandstra, Joery (author)Currently, the electricity grid in the Netherlands is reaching its capacity, resulting in congestion issues. One of the factors that causes the electricity grid to become overloaded is the increasing use of EVs (electric vehicles). A situation in which a large number of EV users in a certain area charge their EV at the same time can...master thesis 2023
