Piskorz, T.K. (author), De Vries, Alex H. (author), De Feyter, Steven (author), van Esch, J.H. (author)Ostwald ripening can improve the long-range order of self-assembled monolayers by the growth of large domains and disassembly of smaller ones. Here, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the dynamics of the stable assembly and the coarsening of defects of physisorbed monolayers of long-chain functionalized alkanes....journal article 2018

Verzijlbergh, R.A. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), Dijkema, G.P.J. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)The integration of large amounts of variable renewable energy poses fundamental challenges to the operation and governance of the energy system. In this article we address the main institutional challenges that are caused by the integration of variable renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy in the European power system. We first...journal article 2017

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Iychettira, K.K. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)The cross-border effects of a capacity market and a strategic reserve in interconnected electricity markets are modeled using an agent-based modeling methodology. Both capacity mechanisms improve the security of supply and reduce consumer costs. Our results indicate that interconnections do not affect the effectiveness of a capacity market,...journal article 2017

Piao, L. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)DC distribution systems (DCDS) connect local generators and loads directly. By avoiding unnecessary losses in AC-DC conversion, DCDS offers higher energy efficiency. Since different parties in a DCDS may have conflicting goals, matching between power supply and demand should be done with carefully designed allocation rules and monetary transfers...conference paper 2017

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Iychettira, K.K. (author), Khan, A.S.M. (author)We present an approach to simulate climate and energy policy for the EU, using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach and a toolbox, called the Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The paper shortly reviews core challenges and approaches for modelling climate and energy policy in light of the energy transition. Afterwards, we...journal article 2017

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Iychettira, K.K. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)The effectiveness of a capacity market is analyzed by simulating three conditions that may cause suboptimal investment in the electricity generation: imperfect information and uncertainty; declining demand shocks resulting in load loss; and a growing share of renewable energy sources in the generation portfolio. Implementation of a capacity...journal article 2017

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Marcheselli, A. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We analyze the effectiveness of a forward capacity market (FCM) with long-term contracts in an electricity market in the presence of a growing share of renewable energy. An agent-based model is used for this analysis. Capacity markets can compensate for the deteriorating incentive to invest in controllable power plants when the share of...journal article 2017

(author), Nguyen, Binh Minh (author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author)The spin-orbit interaction is investigated in a dual gated InAs/GaSb quantum well. Using an electric field, the quantum well can be tuned between a single-carrier regime with exclusively electrons as carriers and a two-carrier regime where electrons and holes coexist. The spin-orbit interaction in both regimes manifests itself as a beating in...journal article 2017

(author)Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is common in older adults and associated with increased morbidity and mortality, loss of independence and high health-care costs. Standing up slowly is a recommended non-pharmacological intervention. However, the effectiveness of this advice has not been well studied. Objectives: The aim of this study...journal article 2017

De Vries, H.C. (author)In this research a workflow for upscaling polymer flooding is developed. The workflow generates pseudorelative permeabilities (pseudos) to represent flow behaviour affected by fine scale heterogeneities in a coarse grid. With this workflow, a better estimate of the difference in production from a polymer flood compared to a water flood can be...master thesis 2016

De Vries, O. (author)Amsterdam is growing fast, faster than the rest of the Netherlands. This leads to many challenges such as housing shortage and high pressure on space and amenities. For its competitiveness it important that Amsterdam keeps developing. However, it is often considered to be full. This study will show that there is a lot of space unused in the city...master thesis 2016

De Vries, M.N. (author)When looking at domains with several building densities, the resulting average concentrations caused by traffic when unknown, are often linearised between known building densities. To verify if this assumption is correct, several cases of street canyons with intersections, are simulated using the DALESURBAN model. The traffic is represented by a...master thesis 2016
