van Heel, M.E. (author), Pretelt, Manuela (author), van Gelder, M.H. (author), van Oel, C.J. (author)Background: The COVID-19 pandemic placed healthcare design at the heart of the crisis. Hospitals faced challenges such as rapidly increasing their intensive care unit capacity, enabling physical distancing measures, quickly converting to telehealth and telework practices, and above all, keeping patients and staff safe. Improving flexibility...journal article 2024

Bielefeld, S.E. (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author)Electrification of processes and utilities is considered a promising option towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the chemical industry. Therefore, electricity demand is expected to increase steeply. Since the sources of future low-carbon electricity are variable in nature, there is a need for strategies to match availability...journal article 2023

Verbist, Flore (author), Panda, Nanda Kishor (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Palensky, P. (author)With a growing share of electric vehicles (EVs) in our distribution grids, the need for smart charging becomes indispensable to minimise grid reinforcement. To circumvent the associated capacity limitations, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of different levels of network constraints and different dynamic tariffs, including a dynamic...conference paper 2023

van Heel, Liesbeth (author), Pretelt, Manuela (author), Herweijer, Milee (author), van Oel, C.J. (author)The COVID-19 pandemic placed healthcare design at the heart of the crisis. Hospitals faced challenges such as increasing their ICU capacity and enabling physical-distancing measures to prevent infectious spread. They also needed to co-house suspected COVID patients and nonCOVID patients with different requirements and enforce separate entrances...journal article 2023

Gusain, D. (author)The transition to sustainable energy iswell underway and is introducing changes on both sides of the electricity balance scale – generation and demand. On the generation side, emissions-free renewable generation resources such as wind and solar are replacing the pollution-emitting thermal power plants. On the demand side, energy sectors...doctoral thesis 2022

Piao, L. (author)Direct current distribution systems (DCDS) are a promising alternative to alternating current (AC) systems because they remove AC--DC conversion between sources and loads that cause energy losses. Compared to AC systems, a DCDS has higher power capacity, energy efficiency and reliability, and no need for synchronisation---suitable where a large...doctoral thesis 2022

Pickering, Bryn (author), Lombardi, F. (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)Disagreements persist on how to design a self-sufficient, carbon-neutral European energy system. To explore the diversity of design options, we develop a high-resolution model of the entire European energy system and produce 441 technically feasible system designs that are within 10% of the optimal economic cost. We show that a wide range of...journal article 2022

Alpizar Castillo, J.J. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Renewable energy power plants and transport and heating electrification projects are being deployed to enable the replacement of fossil fuels as the primary energy source. This transition encourages distributed generation but makes the grid more weather-dependent, thus reducing its inertia. Simultaneously, electrical network operators face...journal article 2022

Okur, Ö. (author)In order to limit the amount of greenhouse gas emission, transitioning to renewable energy sources (RES) is critical. However, integrating RES in the existing power system is not straightforward since RES possess variable and uncertain characteristics. Due to these characteristics, as the penetration of RES increases, maintaining the balance...doctoral thesis 2021

Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Subramanian, Arun (author), Van Der Veen, Aliene (author), Kok, Koen (author)In this paper, a co-simulation framework is presented to assess the impact on the distribution network of provision of support services (i.e. voltage support) by smart residential users. Such users are capable of providing flexibility by increasing/decreasing generation/consumption controlling the operation of an available set of flexible...conference paper 2021

Reyes, O. Soto (author), Taneja, P. (author), Pielage, B. A. (author), Van Schuylenburg, M. (author)This paper presents a study carried out to first assess the impact of the Panama Canal expansion (PCE) on selected Caribbean ports, and thereafter, to examine how the ports can adapt in order to seize new opportunities created by the expansion. An applied case of long-term dynamic planning and flexibility in engineering design is presented for a...conference paper 2019

Piao, L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Direct Current Distribution System (DCDS), a promising alternative to existing AC systems, connect customers to DC energy sources without AC/DC conversion. The unique features of DC, including the power-voltage coupling effect, impose different requirements to DCDS operation compared to AC. Addressing a liberalized energy market, this paper...conference paper 2019

Pelka, Sabine (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), Deissenroth, Marc (author)With an increasing wind and photovoltaic share, the German generation mix becomes more weather-dependent. Backup technologies can help to bridge scarcity moments. These rare moments with high prices are the main events for their cost recovery. However, the uncertain revenue flow combined with long payback periods leads to high investment...conference paper 2019

Piao, L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Direct current distribution systems (DCDS), which connect local prosumers directly to community grids without AC/DC conversions, are a promising alternative to AC systems. While regulations call for market-based operation, existing markets for AC systems do not meet DC requirements and cannot be applied to a DCDS. This paper develops a design...conference paper 2018
