Diab, I. (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)A typical approach to harvesting the excess braking energy of a railway car has been to use a storage system. However, research momentum has been growing in the direction of integrating smart loads like EV chargers into traction networks, and this can offer a more efficient and economical solution to the harvesting of braking energy. This paper...conference paper 2023

van der Horst, Koen (author), Diab, I. (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The traction substations of urban electric transport grids are oversized and underutilized in terms of their capacity. While their over-sizing is an unfortunate waste, their under-utilization creates the major hurdle for the integration of renewables into these grids due to the lack of a base load. Therefore, integrating smart grid loads such...journal article 2023

Brouwers, Marcel (author)The electrification of modern-day society keeps increasing and the demand for electricity grows along with it. Technologies like EVs and heat pumps are both part of the new types of demand, while PV systems and wind farms are meant to be our main new sources of generation. Contrary to traditional resources connected to the electricity network,...master thesis 2022

Hekkelman, B. (author)We consider energy systems in the built environment. With the transition to a more sustainable, distributed, and 'smart' energy system, such local grids are undergoing significant changes. Among other developments, the new role of end-users as 'prosumers' - users that can either produce or consume power depending on the situation - is turning...doctoral thesis 2022

van Lonkhuyzen, Joost (author)Ambitious decarbonization targets are introduced to combat climate change. According to the European Commission, sector coupling is required to achieve these targets. This includes the inclusion of renewables into sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, but also using resources more efficient, and introducing new clean fuels. Recent research...master thesis 2022

Swens, Bart (author)Electricity grids worldwide are experiencing increased peak demands and decreasing simultaneity due to higher shares of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). It is expected that many grids will soon reach their limits. One solution to mitigate these issues is exploiting flexibility in e.g. electric vehicles. In this work, a shrinking horizon model...master thesis 2022

van der Horst, Koen (author)Battery electric vehicles have gained a substantial market share in the last few years. The call for good charging infrastructure is urgent with the rapid shift from carbon-based cars toward battery electric vehicles. However, the present electrical distribution networks are not designed for large additional loads. Many cities have traction...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

Bistřický, Marek (author)This Master thesis aims at studying the technology of In-Motion Charging (IMC) trolleybuses. These trolleybuses are equipped with an on-board battery large enough to provide energy for certain parts of the route. Thanks to that, the parts of the line do not have to be covered with overhead lines. As the vehicles charge their batteries en route,...master thesis 2022
