In the energy sector, a transition is made from fossil fuels to sustainable energies. Due to an irregular supply of these sustainable energies, it often occurs that there is a mismatch between supply and demand. Energy storage is a promising technique to overcome this. In this thesis, the aim is to store gravitational energy in concrete spheres...

Commercial electric aircraft operations are foreseen in the coming five to ten years. For an airport to be ready for this introduction, energy infrastructure requirements have already been subject to various research topics. Most research in this field only focused on cost minimization of the number of chargers given a fixed flight schedule....

To mitigate the effects of climate change, CO2-emmissions will have to be reduced. This can be done by substituting the use of fossil, CO2-heavy by the use of renewable, CO2-neutral energy carriers. Hydrogen is such a renewable energy carrier that can be produced in a CO2-neutral way. The potential of hydrogen is recognized by the European...

Given the urgency to shift to a cleaner energy mix, offshore wind energy is bound to be quickly deployed on a large scale in the next years. In order to meet the Paris Agreement, the current role-out rate of wind energy in the North Sea, that is 2 GW/year, needs to be increased to an average value of 7 GW/year over the period 2023-2040. This...

As part of the effort to make the Dutch waterways CO2-neutral, a consortium consisting of, among others, CRUX Engineering BV and Delft University of Technology, initiated a case study in which the thermal and mechanical performance of an energy sheet pile wall is studied. This technology allows for the extraction of energy from the water and...

The use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy for the generation of electricity are expected to increase in the coming decades. However, these sources are intermittent. Therefore Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems are needed in the near future to assure a reliable electricity supply. These systems should also be able to...

Climate change is a pressing issue and risk in our current society caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To reduce the GHG-emissions more renewable energy is needed instead of electricity and energy production by fossil fuels, which are high in GHG-emissions. The electricity production by renewable sources has increased in the last couple of...

This thesis studies the possibility of energy increase in tape-spring assemblies through stacking, defined as the practice of placing tape-springs on top of each other in parallel. consists of five chapters. Chapter 2 consists of a paper that presents a theoretical approach to stacking of tape-springs, and studies the potential of energy storage...

The integration of variable renewable energy sources (RESs) in the electrical power grid leads to larger and faster variations in the power demanded from controllable power sources. This is a problem, because flexibility of (base load) power plants is limited. Solid oxide reversible cells(SORCs) can be used as load-shifting devices to reduce...

Energy storage systems are an emerging field of interest for the future of electrical grids. With the rapid growth of renewable but intermittent sources of electricity, energy storage systems can help smooth the variations, making the grid more stable and reducing the need for maintaining an overcapacity of power production infrastructure. Among...

High temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) can potentially solve the mismatch between heat supply and demand. It can provide a large scale seasonal heat storage solution. Thereby it enables an increase in full load hours of the base heat source, which can benefit project performance on both costs and emissions. However, the...

The goal of this thesis is to identify under which boundary conditions<br/>there is a business opportunity for an innovative electric thermal energy storage, with regards to the future electricity and heat markets. To meet this target, a novel optimization model has been developed as the main tool for the analysis of the storage and its...

In a world with growing energy consumption, and concerns over climate quality, new ways of producing and storing clean energy is more relevant than ever. Storing ‘green’ gas (e.g. methane) is a new concept building on well-established fundamentals. Using renewable energy, through electrochemical processes (i.e. electrolysis), hydrogen is first...

Parkstad is planning to power most of its electrical grid by solar energy, resulting in an intermittent power supply. One of the methods to solve this intermittency is to create facilities for energy storage. The landscape differs from the rest of the Netherlands by its hilly profile. The most important difference is presence of a large...

Energy storage systems (ESS) are expected to be one of the main pillars for a future renewable based power system. Since all sectors are electrifying and variable renewable energy (VRE) is being deployed more quickly than transmission and distribution operators are able to connect them to the electricity grid. Flexible capacity on multiple...

Reducing carbon emissions in the power generation sector can be done by generating energy from renewable sources such as wind and sun. However these sources alone cannot provide a reliable electricity system and therefore an energy storage system is needed. Power-to-gas is a concept in which surplus renewable electricity is used for the...
