Corvaglia, Francesca (author)The growing global energy demand and correlated rise in carbon emissions is forcing us to increase the use of renewable sources. The residential sector represents a large part of the total energy consumption, and European governments are investing in distributed PV to increase the renewable share in this sector. However, on top of the solar...master thesis 2021

Terstappen, Robin (author)This thesis contributes to increasing the technology readiness level of hydrogen storage in gas reservoirs, which will be required when hydrogen has become a major energy carrier in the future Dutch energy system. It addresses the mixing processes with resident gases that occur during hydrogen storage operations in gas fields, and analyzes their...master thesis 2021

Visser, Thomas (author)The Netherlands will need to transform her traditionally fossil fueled energy system in the coming decades to achieve the goal of reducing CO2 emissions to net-zero in 2050. Therefore, an increase in renewable energy sources as solar and wind energy in the overall energy mix will be essential. However, due to the highly variable energy...master thesis 2020

Laban, M.P. (author)In this paper the suitability of compressed hydrogen gas storage in salt caverns is analysed. The presence of microbial sulfate reducing bacteria create a contamination risk of H2S inside the cavern. Key cavern parameters that influence the production of H2S are highlighted by a chemical model. The model uses empirical data provided by...master thesis 2020

Kimman, Nick (author)Fossil fuel based energy systems are the main contributor to global warming. As new regulations come into place, a transition towards a more sustainable energy system must be realised. Hydrogen usage is regarded as the key enabler of such systems. The heart of these hydrogen-based energy systems (HESs) is the hydrogen back-up system (HBS) which...master thesis 2020
