In 2015, the UN coined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with each goal based on three pillars: society, environment, and economy. Rapid growth can result in a country not succeeding in developing all pillars simultaneously. This, in turn, can lead to a stagnation of development. Ethiopia is a clear example of such stagnation, as inject...

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...

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...

Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy rely on climate­ and weather conditions, like sun irradiation in the case of solar energy, and wind speed in the case of wind energy. These change throughout the day and with the seasons. There are periods of little wind, and during the night there is no sunlight. During periods of no...

The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect the air electrode has on the discharge performance of an alkaline silicon-air battery. Experiments are conducted to show that alkaline pre-treatment of the air electrode of up to eight hours leads to an increase in both discharge time and discharge potential of the battery. Furthermore, it...

One of the goals outlined during the Paris Agreement in 2015 aimed at 'holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C'. In conjunction with this, the Klimaatakkord of the Netherlands aims to 'reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the...

Solid state Li ion batteries have garnered attention due to their high safety and increased energy density. A key challenge towards commercialization is reduction of the high interface resistance affecting the charge transfer and in turn performance. In this thesis the aim is to analyze lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON) properties. By...
