Vlasblom, Joris (author)This research evaluates and optimises the competitiveness of a combined wind, solar, and electrolyser plant in the Dutch electricity and hydrogen market. For the electricity market, this study used the EPEX spot market, where most electricity is traded. The hydrogen market is far less transparent than the electricity market; hence, a market had...master thesis 2021

Breunis, Wouter (author)The decarbonisation of the Dutch power system cannot be accomplished by electrification alone. Although offshore wind power is to play a leading part in the future Dutch power system, long-term energy storage and hard-to-electrify energy consumers are in need of other energy carriers as well. Hydrogen gas is able to provide this system essential...master thesis 2021

Shikhar, Utkarsh (author), Hemmes, Kas (author), Woudstra, T. (author)Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that are conventionally used to convert the chemical energy of fuels into electricity while producing heat as a byproduct. High temperature fuel cells such as molten carbonate fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cells produce significant amounts of heat that can be used for internal reforming of fuels such...journal article 2021

Habibi, P. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Dey, P. (author), Moultos, O. (author)Two-dimensional (2D) boron-based materials are receiving much attention as H2 storage media due to the low atomic mass of boron and the stability of decorating alkali metals on the surface, which enhance interactions with H2. This work investigates the suitability of Li, Na, and K decorations on 2D honeycomb borophene oxide (B2O) for H2...journal article 2021

van der Roest, E. (author), Fens, T.W. (author), Bloemendal, Martin (author), Beernink, S.T.W. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), van Wijk, A.J.M. (author)The fossil-based energy system is transitioning towards a renewable energy system. One important aspect is the spatial and temporal mismatch between intermitted supply and continuous demand. To ensure a reliable and affordable energy system, we propose an integrated system approach that integrates electricity production, mobility, heating of...journal article 2021

van der Heide, Ruurd (author)Most countries have shown their concern towards global warming and made commitments to decrease carbon emissions. Energy usage will have to become more efficient and generated by an increasing amount of sustainable resources. Hard-to-abate industries will require incentives to decarbonize their processes. Research shows that consumer-facing...master thesis 2020

Huijts, N.M.A. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author)Public acceptability of low-carbon energy projects is often measured with one-off polls. This implies that opinion-shifts over time are not always taken into consideration by decision makers relying on these polls. Observations have given the impression that public acceptability of energy projects increases after implementation. However, this...journal article 2019
