Kobus, C.B.A. (author)Today, the supply of energy is based on fossil fuels, which is often considered as an important cause of climate change. Moreover, the supply of energy is increasingly dependent of a few, sometimes political instable regions. An energy transition is needed for the maintenance of our welfare and environment. The needed energy transition will...master thesis 2010

Gottenbos, G.C. (author)Residential energy efficiency is an increasingly important notion in light of the increasing energy prices and increased focus on an environmentally sustainable society. DSO’s have the potential to make a great contribution to the field based on their unique market position, but are held back by regulation and market opposition. This article...master thesis 2011

Loonen, E. (author)The current European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in combination with other renewable electricity (RES-E) support schemes such as a premium feed-in tariff (FIT) or tradable green certificates system (TGC) do not guarantee a carbon neutral power sector in 2050. This study shows that many plausible high carbon emissions futures exist when no...master thesis 2012

Alsem, J.D. (author)The EU and the Netherlands have set multiple energy transition objectives for the year 2020. In 2009 the European Council has formulated long term goals to reach 80-95% greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for 2050, which comes down to an 80% CO2-emission reduction overall and a 95% CO2-emission reduction in the fossil-fuelled power...master thesis 2013

Nguyen, T.T.V. (author)This research proposes a decision support environment to assist the main stakeholders (The Municipality, Consumers, Network operators, Energy providers and Technology enablers) during the energy transition decision making process at city level. The research is a part of the TRANSFORM project’s work package three. The TRANSFORM project develops a...master thesis 2014

Chladova, E. (author)This research seeks to understand what underused industrial landscapes spatially mean to the city regions they occupy and how they can be better integrated into the daily lives of the thousands of people living or working nearby. By utilizing the transition to sustainable energy sources as the backbone for new interventions in the city fabric...master thesis 2014

Meerkerk, J.J. (author)The electrical peak demand in the Netherlands is likely to increase due to renewable energy technologies, and create a higher load demand for distribution transformers. Two technologies that increase the peak demand are solar-PV and heat pumps, for which the deployment on the distribution grid differs largely between geographical areas. In this...master thesis 2015

Dechesne, Q.D. (author)Much attention is directed towards how to rapidly decarbonise the energy system. Unlike the present energy system based on fossil fuels, an energy system based on renewable energy sources with hydrogen and electricity as energy carriers would be sustainable in terms of CO2 emissions. Whereas in certain sectors (e.g. transport) the opportunities...master thesis 2015

Vlaar, C. (author)Cities strive to move towards a more sustainable city. In the process of energy transition in the built environment, moving from usage of fossil fuels towards renewable energy is the process obstructed which results which result in little or no action. This research will focus on several cases in Europe and analyse the cases with a focus on its...master thesis 2016

Galama, A. (author)Many parties are required to activate the energy transition. It’s a challenge for everybody: citizens, businesses, governments and civil society organizations at all levels. Not just at (inter) national level, but renewable energy should also, especially, be given shape on the regional and local scale. To realize local opportunities of energy in...master thesis 2016

Wurl, J.M. (author)The energy transition is characterised by the growth of intermittent and thus non-steerable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind. The technology development in the PV sector enables consumers to move beyond passive consumption of electricity towards becoming active producers of their own energy. This led to an increasing number of...master thesis 2016

Roorda, Folkert (author)The main research question that this research seeks to answer is: What are the factors that are perceived to be important for the performance of venturing units at Dutch distribution network operators? Factors found in the literature that impact the performance of this venturing units can be divided into three parts: factors from an...master thesis 2017

Fuchs Illoldi, Jorge (author)The world’s greenhouse gas emissions have steadily increased as a result of the continued use of fossil fuels, causing climate change. Nevertheless, sustainable energy technologies implementation has increased steadily in the last decade as society attempts to transition to a sustainable, zero emission energy system. The consequences of climate...master thesis 2017

van Exter, Pieter (author)Limiting global temperature increase by 1.5 ̊C rather than 2 ̊C reduces the impacts of climate change significantly (Knutti et al., 2015; Schleussner et al., 2016). It requires a rigorous transition of the global energy system in a very short time span. Though, the published energy scenarios that focus on 1.5 ̊C are limited (Peters, 2016). In...master thesis 2017

Wiggers, Annemiek (author)Through the perspective of Urban Metabolism, that focuses on the design of flows, this project researches the flow of energy in regards to the Paris climate agreement of 2015. The energy transition towards renewable resources is considered in the terms of spatial impact and public acceptance. The energy landscape is used as a design concept that...master thesis 2017

Bazaiou, Angeliki (author)The subject of this graduation project is the energy transition within urban environments. This is pursued through, firstly, gaining an understanding of the fossil dependency and how this has affected our cities and practices. In order to overturn this effect and open the way for the urban energy transition, urban design needs to become more...master thesis 2018
