Nuij, Gert-Jan (author)The CCNR will ensure that in 2050 inland ships do not emit any emissions. A PEM fuel cell system running on pure hydrogen could be a solution. However, the new system imposes some difficulties on the design of the inland ship. A calculation model is created to evaluate inland ships with this system and research these difficulties. The...master thesis 2021

Vonhoff, George (author)The demand for air travel is increasing as more people gain access to commercial aviation. As the current generation of aircraft makes use of fossil fuel combustion, this growth results in an increase in the global emissions. This is at odds with the worldwide efforts of reducing the adverse effects of climate change. Therefore, advanced...master thesis 2021

Penmathsa, Akhil (author)Flame flashback is a failure mode in the operation of lean premixed combustion system. Due to higher flame speeds and lower quenching distances, hydrogen-rich fuel mixtures are prone to boundary layer flashback (BLF), where mixture flow speeds are low compared to the local flow velocity. Research at TU Munich (Eichler 2011) has resulted in new...master thesis 2021

Nelissen, M.M. (author)In the future, fossil fuels will be replaced by renewable sources. Hydrogen seems to be a promising energy carrier (fuel). A lot of research has been conducted on the combustion of hydrogen, but the effect of the high diffusivity of hydrogen compared to other species (differential diffusion) was often not included in simulations of turbulent...master thesis 2021

Van Der Slikke, Deanne (author), Guerra, Karla (author), de Jong, W. (author), Haro, Pedro (author)Hydrogen is believed to be an important energy vector in the transition to a more sustainable future. However, there is a scarcity of relevant studies analysing the realistic potential for hydrogen production in specific European regions. In this study, the potential for biomass-derived hydrogen is comprehensively analysed considering a...journal article 2021

Wang, X. (author), Shipurkar, U. (author), Haseltalab, A. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Claeys, Frans (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Ship hybridization has received some interests recently in order to achieve the emission target by 2050. However, designing and optimizing a hybrid propulsion system is a complicated problem. Sizing components and optimizing energy management control are coupled with each other. This paper applies a nested double-layer optimization...journal article 2021

(author)Many Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) applications require vertical take-off and landing and very long-range capabilities. Fixed-wing aircraft need long runways to land, and electric energy is still a bottleneck for helicopters, which are not range efficient. In this paper, we introduce the NederDrone, a hybrid lift, hybrid energy hydrogen-powered...journal article 2021

Roos, Daniëlle (author)To reduce the CO2 emissions of the maritime industry, several alternative fuels are being researched to possibly achieve this goal. The absence of an infrastructure for alternative fuels in the current port environment is one of the barriers towards implementation of these high potential fuels. The goal of this thesis project was to create an...master thesis 2020

Burgers, Iris (author)Australia has a high potential for production of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. Due to the stochastic operating conditions, excessively produced energy can be used to produce hydrogen by electrolysis to store the energy, known as power-to-gas. This hydrogen can be injected into the existing natural gas pipeline network, providing both...master thesis 2020

Tomar, Saloni (author)Transport sector CO2 emissions are on the rise and responsible for nearly 30% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions (European Parliament,2019). An attractive way to reduce the CO2 emissions by transport is by changing the fuel used. Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in a clean, secure and affordable energy future (IEA). However, a clean,...master thesis 2020
