Hennings, Clara (author)The mitigation of climate change and the transition to a more sustainable and circular use of resources are two of the largest challenges of our time. To this end, the European Commission proposed the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) and Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) in March 2023 as further pillars to its Green Deal. While the NZIA focuses on...master thesis 2023

Zöllner, András (author)The renewable generation capacity, particularly solar and wind power installations, has increased steadily in the Netherlands over the course of recent years. Due to the local, small-scale nature of these power plants (compared to conventional power plants), a large share of this generation capacity is installed into the medium- and low-voltage...master thesis 2023

Ralph, Ben (author)Offshore wind is a rapidly maturing renewable energy technology and is expected to play a central role in future energy systems. It has the potential to generate more than 420,000 TWh per year worldwide, an amount approximately equal to eighteen times the global electricity demand today. While many of the most abundantly resourceful sites are at...master thesis 2023

Ramos Lourenço de Armada, Oyono (author)In the mission to slow down global warming, the replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy resources is key. A tipping point in the adoption of renewable energy resources is notable, as they are becoming economically more viable. Offshore wind energy is considered essential in realizing the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. However...master thesis 2022

van Driel, Sabina (author)As the threat of climate change continues to rise, society is put under an increasing pressure to produce less greenhouse gas emissions. However, the Netherlands is struggling to make progress in the energy transition, with only 8,6% of the final energy consumption being generated by renewables in 2019 (CBS, 2020b). To fix this renewable energy...master thesis 2021

Grzebyk, Daniel (author)An increasing number of photovoltaic (PV) systems are being installed worldwide and residential sector is responsible for a large part of this growth. Small scale PV systems do not have complex measuring devices and their breakdowns are not spotted immediately by the system owners. This might lead to prolonged time without generating power and...master thesis 2020

Tober, Joeri (author)A highly accurate model is presented that predicts boundary layer flashback (BLF) for lean premixed hydrogen combustion. In contrast to existing models, that fail for lean hydrogen mixtures, the present model includes the effect of flame instabilities. The model is applied to study the effect of burner geometry on flashback tendency. A diverging...master thesis 2019

Groenendaal, Julius (author)In a socio –technical system, such as the energy system, a network of actors is responsible for developing, monitoring and managing the technical system bounded by institutions on different levels. The network of actors is the social dimension, where the technical system is the technical dimension of the socio -technical system. The development...master thesis 2018

Solomon, Dan (author)Exergy investment in producing hydrocarbons is a relatively small fraction of the energy of the oil produced; yet it can reduce energy consumption in the order of percentages. In areas of high insolation or high wind speed, it can be considered that part of the exergy required for these purposes can be retrieved from sustainable energy sources....master thesis 2017

Drenth, Sil (author)Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) is a field of engineering that utilizes tethered aircraft for the generation of electrical power. The potential for the application of AWE in deep-water offshore environments on top of floating foundations is enormous. Where conventional wind turbines would require a very stable platform to reduce motions at the...master thesis 2017

Insam, Elisabeth (author)Remote areas throughout the world often face great difficulties with regards to a cost-effective production of electricity and drinking water. To date, it is mostly done by means of diesel generators which are however subject to volatile market prices, high operational cost, logistical supply problems and environmental concerns. Stand-alone...master thesis 2017
