In order to limit global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures, a lot still needs to happen. Carbon free hydrogen as an energy carrier can significantly reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the entire energy system. In this report, a concept for a spatially efficient, initial hydrogen corridor in the European Union...

Wind farms are currently built in the North Sea in the Netherlands. The grid connecting the off-shore wind farm to the main-land distribution grid must be protected against short-circuits and other electrical disturbances. In this project is studied if electrical protection of a grid is suitable for grids connecting renewable energy sources to...

Developing renewable energy sources entails new challenges which have not been faced previously by the traditional grid. One of the issues is the variability of renewable resources due to their characteristics of weather. The intermittent nature produces uncertainty in generation output, especially in solar and wind power generation. As...

Zweekhorst, Jules (author)
The growing fleet of offshore wind farms in the North Sea imposes a lot of stress on the energy grid due to its volatile power production. Accurate forecasting models that can predict the power generation of these wind parks could help grid operators to keep the energy grid stable and reduce the re-dispatch of energy. Therefore the objective of...

Weenk, Thomas (author)
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are integrated with the electricity grid have proven to be a suitable solution for reducing costs by providing flexible demand, but are often uneconomical when used solely for this purpose. Despite the research efforts showing the benefits of an energy-integrated harbor-area smart grid (HASG), the...
