Liu, Zhengxuan (author), Sun, Ying (author), Huang, Ruopeng (author)The increasing greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions constitute one of the most significant global environmental issues. CO2 emissions from buildings and transportation are responsible for the largest proportion of total global carbon emissions from various sectors. Therefore it is necessary to utilize clean energy sources (e.g., renewable energy,...book chapter 2024

van Hagen, L.J.A. (author), Petrick, Kristian (author), Wilhelm, Stefan (author), Schmehl, R. (author)A key motivation for airborne wind energy is its potential to reduce the amount of material required for the generation of renewable energy. On the other hand, the materials used for airborne systems’ components are generally linked to higher environmental impacts. This study presents comparative life-cycle analyses for future multi-megawatt...journal article 2023

Helmers, Eckard (author), Chang, Chia Chien (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author)Universities, as innovation drivers in science and technology worldwide, should attempt to become carbon-neutral institutions and should lead this transformation. Many universities have picked up the challenge and quantified their carbon footprints; however, up-to-date quantification is limited to use-phase emissions. So far, data on embodied...journal article 2022

Belting, Renée-Claire (author), den Blaauwen, P.P. (author), Melgar, Adriana (author), Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author)Smallholders are the backbone of livelihoods in the Global South. Yet, many remain water- and energy-insecure. For this challenge, this study presents a toolkit to stimulate the sustained adoption of renewable energy-powered water pumps for smallholder irrigation. A human-centered design method was used to co-create it. It first consisted of a...journal article 2022

Ogunleye, O.S. (author), Coenen, F. (author), Hoppe, T. (author)The need for improved energy security in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized. Currently, energy security is rather poor, while access to energy is fundamental to socio-economic development and poverty alleviation. Renewable energy could potentially contribute to resolving this because renewable sources such as solar radiation are more available...journal article 2022

De Vries, Laurens (author), Sanchez Jimenez, I.J. (author)Existing indicators of electricity system adequacy need to be supplemented with economic performance indicators. As power systems are decarbonized, energy storage technologies are being developed and demand is becoming more flexible. Reliability standards need to reflect the price elasticity of these sources of flexibility. During scarcity...journal article 2022

Schmidt, H.S. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Schmehl, R. (author), Renes, Reint Jan (author)Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems use tethered flying devices to harvest higher-altitude winds to produce electricity. For the success of the technology, it is crucial to understand how people perceive and respond to it. If concerns about the technology are not taken seriously, it could delay or prevent implementation, resulting in increased...journal article 2022

Pickering, Bryn (author), Lombardi, F. (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)Disagreements persist on how to design a self-sufficient, carbon-neutral European energy system. To explore the diversity of design options, we develop a high-resolution model of the entire European energy system and produce 441 technically feasible system designs that are within 10% of the optimal economic cost. We show that a wide range of...journal article 2022

Bier, H.H. (author), Vermeer, E.C.F. (author), Hidding, A.J. (author), Jani, K.K. (author)In order for off-Earth top surface structures built from regolith to protect astronauts from radiation, they need to be several meters thick. Technical University Delft (TUD) proposes to excavate into the ground to create subsurface habitats. By excavating, not only can natural protection from radiation be achieved but also thermal insulation,...journal article 2021

Wohland, Jan (author), Brayshaw, David (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)To reach its goal of net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050, the European Union seeks to massively expand wind and solar power. Relying on weather-dependent power generation, however, poses substantial risks if climate variability is not adequately understood and accounted for in energy system design. Here we quantify European wind and solar...journal article 2021

Khait, M. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)Alternative to CPU computing architectures, such as GPU, continue to evolve increasing the gap in peak memory bandwidth achievable on a conventional workstation or laptop. Such architectures are attractive for reservoir simulation, which performance is generally bounded by system memory bandwidth. However, to harvest the benefit of a new...conference paper 2021
