Simulation of the Dutch electricity system: A software expansion for the Illuminator

The aim of this report is to discuss the design of the software that creates a simulation for the national electricity grid level of the Netherlands. This is done by further developing the open-source energy system integration development kit called the Illuminator. Where the goal of this software is to create an extra case, add a Graphical User...

Review of whole system simulation methodologies for assessing mobility as a service (Maas) as an enabler for sustainable urban mobility

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is an emerging concept that is being advanced as an effective approach to improve the sustainability of mobility, especially in densely populated urban areas. MaaS can be defined as the integration of various transport modes into a single service, accessible on demand, via a seamless digital planning and payment...

An Energy-Harvesting Facade Optimization System for Built Environments

Daylighting is the immediate exploitation of solar energy in the form of nat-<br/>ural lighting and plays an integral role in minimizing the energy footprint<br/>of a building. Smart daylighting enables us to design buildings that provide<br/>comfort and energy savings.<br/><br/>This work proposes a dynamic facade system for buildings which aims...
