Modelling alkaline silicon-air batteries: A finite element model

Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy rely on climate­ and weather conditions, like sun irradiation in the case of solar energy, and wind speed in the case of wind energy. These change throughout the day and with the seasons. There are periods of little wind, and during the night there is no sunlight. During periods of no...

Hourly Matching of renewable electricity production with demand of large-scale electricity consumers

This research aims to provide a method for large-scale commercial electricity consumers to procure towards 100% hourly matched renewable electricity. A problem with the current electricity balancing system is that the energy produced by Variable Renewable Energy sources (VRES), such as wind and solar PV, has a weather-dependent production...

A PV Powered BWRO Desalination Installation with Energy Recovery and Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage

This MSc. Thesis project was performed at the Sanitary Engineering Department of the TU Delft as part of the Sustainable Energy Technology program. It is one of the unique research projects performed in the field of renewable driven Reverse Osmosis desalination, producing fresh water with only renewable energy sources as driving force.
