de Waal, Jeremy (author), Rauf, Namo (author)Before the project was started, there was an energy system integrator demonstrator. This demonstrator was purely software, there was no physical interaction possible with it. It demonstrated the energy system by simulations. The objective of this project was to design and built peripherals that represents the components of an energy system....bachelor thesis 2023

Stoter, Jasper (author)Seaport operators are becoming more environmentally conscious and are looking to electrify their terminals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to higher energy-related costs and more congestion on the electricity grid. This thesis investigates the potential of demand response as a viable strategy to reduce energy-related costs....master thesis 2023

van Nobelen, Bart (author)The climate change is evident and a big contributor to the negative effects of the climate change is the energy production sector. Therefore, the energy production must shift towards a more environment friendly mix. Changing our energy sources to mostly renewable energy sources comes with many challenges. <br/>The way the current Dutch...master thesis 2022

Saini, Raghav (author)Engineering has a significant cultural component in addition to its widespread perception as an engine of innovation and economic growth. This cultural component corresponds to how users and communities react or adapt to technological innovations and their influence on the advancement of such innovations. Hence, it is critical to prioritize the...master thesis 2022

Siemensma, Ruben (author)As the share of renewable energy generation increases, the need for energy storage also increases. Therefore, there is a need for better storage representation in the current energy modelling tools. In the present day,<br/>the longer-term energy storage systems are not fully represented since, for existing storage systems, the self-serving...master thesis 2022

Visscher, Just (author)The Dutch government's "Green deal 173" increases the challenge of electrification of mobility. The "Green deal 173" states that city centres will be emission free as from 2025 and whole cities will be emission free as from 2050. Emission free cities are in need of electric buses in the city centres. Thus, the need for charging infrastructure...master thesis 2022
