Van de Korput, R.J.A. (author)CHP-Belduco is a Combined Heat and Power plant, which was built on the site of Belchem, a chemical company in Flanders, Belgium. The purpose of the plant is to deliver steam and other utilities to the chemical plants on the site. In order to do that efficiently, the combination of heat and electricity is used. The plant is owned and managed by...master thesis 2012

Alarcón, D.M. (author)In many developing countries governments are not able to provide energy access to its inhabitants, especially those living in rural areas and with the lowest incomes. For these 4-5 million people around the world, who live with less than $2 a day, often referred to as the Base of the Pyramid (BoP), electricity is deficient and unreliable....master thesis 2012

Fremouw, M.A. (author)We do live in interesting times. Social, political and financial turmoil, peak oil and nuclear accidents all contribute to the realisation that perhaps things need to change in our energy system. Providing the right type of energy at the right place at the right time is of course the answer. As the potential yields of renewable energy sources...master thesis 2012

Meijer, L.J.J. (author)A continuous population growth and increasing energy demand combined with depleting traditional energy reserves puts a pressure on conventional methods of electricity generation. The desire and ambition to create a more sustainable society paves the way for the ‘renewables’. Hydropower or Hydroelectricity already plays a significant role in...master thesis 2012

Muris, V.L.C. (author)Industrial buildings, used as warehouses or distribution centres, are characterized by large doors which are opened temporarily or for longer periods. A new technique - called Ambergy - is investigated which prevents unnecessary energy loss through open overhead doors in heated industrial halls. This technique consists of a smart coupling...master thesis 2013

Noom, M.N. (author)A tethered wing can be used in two different ways, to lift payload or to provide traction power. The latter is the basis of several innovative technical applications, such as kite-assisted ship propulsion and pumping-kite wind energy conversion. This thesis presents a theoretical analysis of traction power generation by a tethered wing. The...master thesis 2013

Biemans, B.C.B. (author)This thesis looks into the possibility to produce geothermal energy in the Roer Valley Graben. The locations in this area are limited due to the low permeability of the deep Triassic layers. Fractures can enhance the heat production by increasing the effective permeability and decrease the pressure that is needed to produce the heat. However,...master thesis 2014
