Fouladvand, J. (author)This thesis aims to support the design and implementation of energy-secure thermal energy communities (TEC) by investigating their technical, behavioural and institutional settings through a collective action perspective. The thesis shows that energy-secure TEC initiatives are collective energy systems with particular characteristics and...doctoral thesis 2022

Goyal, N. (author), Taeihagh, Araz (author), Howlett, Michael (author)A transition to sustainable energy will require not only technological diffusion and behavioral change, but also policy innovation. While research on energy transitions has generated an extensive literature, the extent to which it has used the policy innovation perspective – entailing policy entrepreneurship or invention, policy diffusion, and...review 2022

(author), Marence, M. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)To counteract a potential reduction in grid stability caused by a rapidly growing share of intermittent renewable energy sources within our electrical grids, large scale deployment of energy storage will become indispensable. Pumped hydro storage is widely regarded as the most cost-effective option for this. However, its application is...review 2022

Beyond promises: Realities of climate finance justice and energy transitions in Asia and the PacificAnantharajah, Kirsty (author), Setyowati, A.B. (author)Climate change is already having substantial adverse impacts across the globe, and these are projected to worsen dramatically in years to come without rapid and far-reaching measures to transition to low carbon development. Crucially, massive financial investment will be necessary to fast track a low carbon transition and the level of finance...journal article 2022

However, clean energy supplies in multi-energy building districts are still at the preliminary stages for energy paradigm transitions. In particular, technologies and methodologies for large...review 2022

(author)For efficient operation of heating and cooling grids, underground thermal energy storage (UTES) can be a key element. This is due to its ability to seasonally store heat or cold addressing the large mismatch between supply and demand. This technology is already available and there are many operational examples, both within and outside a...conference paper 2022

Setyowati, A.B. (author), Quist, J.N. (author)Transitioning to low carbon energy involves policies, institutions, and actors across different scales of governance. Indonesia's aspiration for a transition to low carbon energy is occurring in the dynamics of the re-scaling of environmental governance through decentralization processes. This article examines the interplays of actors at the...journal article 2022

Correljé, A. (author), Pesch, U.

OIE is examined here as a suitable perspective, as it combines Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy and a methodological...journal article 2022

Stolper, Louis Cornelis (author), Bergsma, J.M. (author), Pruyn, J.F.J. (author)The energy transition of Dutch shipping is a complex gradual process due to the variety in vessels, cost and lifetime of assets, uncertainty, additional costs of climate-neutral alternatives and required regulatory changes. This paper aims to create a holistic overview of both the transition barriers and enablers. A focus is placed on the...journal article 2022

(author), Montenegro, Lorena (author), Van Gorp, Geert (author)The Paris Agreement requires building retrofitting practices to be more efficient and effective. However, the current practice for building energy retrofitting is lacking behind, and one reason for that is the time-consuming process of energy credit evaluation. Energy performance assessment such as BREEAM-NL in the Netherlands could apply a more...journal article 2021
