van Geenhuizen, M.S. (author), Nejabat, R. (author)Municipalities are increasingly involved in energy transition planning. There are, however, doubts about whether municipalities are an adequate organization and scale level for this. In this context, the article aims to picture developments of local young technology firms in bringing energy inventions to market, in particular, how municipalities...journal article 2021

Mouter, N. (author), Shortall, R.M. (author), Spruit, S. (author), Itten, A.V. (author)To achieve a successful energy transition, it is vital to integrate citizens’ needs into government policies through participatory processes. However, offline participatory approaches can be overly intensive which leads to an over-representation of citizens who think that the issue is in their immediate interest. Hence, elected officials often...journal article 2021

Itten, A.V. (author), Sherry-Brennan, Fionnguala (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Meenakshi Sundaram, A. (author), Devine-Wright, Patrick (author)Providing heat is a key aspect of social life and a necessity for comfort and health in cold climates. Even though heat accounts for a large proportion of worldwide carbon emissions and is the largest energy end-use, it has remained largely untouched by efforts to decarbonize. Efforts to do so meet significant economic, social-psychological,...journal article 2021

Hoicka, Christina E. (author), Das, Runa R. (author), Zhao, Yuxu (author), McMaster, Maria Louise (author), Lieu, J. (author), Wyse, Susan (author)The rapid diffusion of demand-side low-carbon innovations has been identified as a key strategy for maintaining average global temperature rise at or below 1.5 °C. Diffusion research tends to focus on a single sector, or single technology case study, and on a small scope of factors that influence innovation diffusion. This paper describes a...journal article 2021

Hauser, S.J. (author), Zhu, P. (author), Mehan, A. (author)Since the 1860s, petroleum companies, through their influence on local governments, port authorities, international actors and the general public gradually became more dominant in shaping the urban form of ports and cities. Under their development and pressure, the relationships between industrial and urban areas in port cities hosting oil...journal article 2021

ten Caat, P.N. (author), Tillie, Nico (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author)Amsterdam aims to bring down its carbon footprint by 55% in 2030 and by 95% in 2050. For the built environment, plotted pathways towards carbon neutrality primarily revolve around the reduction of fossil based energy demand and the transition towards renewable energy production strategies. The consumption of food resources, and its significant...book chapter 2021

Jalali Sohi, A. (author), Rikhtegarnezami, M. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Societal challenges such as climate change and inefficiency of energysystems more and more crave for a sustainable environment. Research proved thatrestructuring energy systems into more sustainable forms, called “Energy Transition”, has faced challenges. How to deal with these challenges requires the cocreation between various actors with...conference paper 2021

Oorschot, L.M. (author)Op 24 september was de prijsuitreiking voor Panorama Lokaal. In zeven wijken verspreid over Nederland waren voor elke wijk drie teams bezig. Een enorme variatie aan oplossingen werd gepresenteerd. Een thema lijkt echt leidend geweest bij de meeste teams: de bewoners die er al wonen zijn aan zet. Meteen werd door Aedes en menig wethouder de vraag...report 2020

Milchram, C. (author)Smart grids within the transition to sustainable energy systems Smart grid systems are widely considered as crucial in the energy transition, because they allow for greater flexibility in bridging temporal gaps between electricity supply and demand in renewable energy systems. To do so, the systems make use of information and communication...doctoral thesis 2020

Diran, D.D.D. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Ubacht, J. (author), Slob, Adriaan (author), Blok, K. (author)The transition towards low-carbon thermal energy systems requires solid information provision to support both public and private decision-making, which is future proof and optimal in the context of the system dependencies. We adopt a data ecosystem approach to answer the following research question: How can a data ecosystem be analyzed and...journal article 2020

Hoppe, T. (author), Miedema, Michiel (author)Energy transition requires action from different levels of government. While the national and local level have received ample scholarly attention, thus far little attention has been paid to the regional level. This is remarkable because policy makers across Europe are wondering what governance of regional transition actually is and how to...journal article 2020

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We simulate climate and energy policy for the EU using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach, we named Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The agent-based model focuses on investment in power generation and studies long run effects of various interacting European energy policies, and incorporates differences between countries....abstract 2020

Bernards, Raoul (author), van Westering, W.H.P. (author), Morren, Johan (author), Slootweg, Han (author)The energy transition poses a challenge for the electricity distribution network design as new energy technologies cause increasing and uncertain network loads. Traditional static load models cannot cope with the stochastic nature of this new technology adoption. Furthermore, traditional nonlinear power methods have difficulty evaluating very...journal article 2020

The geographic and technical characteristics of renewable energy systems are fundamentally different from those of coal, oil, and natural gas. This has implications for interstate...journal article 2020
