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

Sprangers, Wesley (author)The increase of the average world temperature, as a result of greenhouse gasses, is one of the greatest challenges the world is currently facing and will be facing in the future. One of the many efforts to reduce the increase of carbon dioxide, is to decarbonize the gas network by replacing natural gas with renewable gasses like green gas. Since...master thesis 2020

Stegmann, Irma (author)Increased use of the distribution grid due to the uptake of distributed energy resources and the expected penetrations of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) could lead to congestion problems in the distribution grid. Congestion refers to issues related to the overheating of components or voltage issues in the distribution network. Avoiding these issues...master thesis 2017

Hylkema, Bouke (author)Intermittent generation behaviour of wind and solar power units requires Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to activate balancing power to maintain a stable grid frequency. With the current strong growth in installed renewable energy capacity in The Netherlands, it is therefore expected that the volumes of activated balancing power will grow...master thesis 2017

Vunderink, S (author)Within several testing grounds in The Netherlands, Decentralized System Operators (DSOs) test a variety of smart grid solutions in order to anticipate on expected peak load increase; Most future energy system scenarios point out issues related to the functioning of the grid. Examples are blackout risks and large voltage fluctuations, which occur...master thesis 2017

Wanders, T.W.H. (author)The European Union aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050. For the Netherlands, a reduction of 80% implies that a limited amount of 30 Mton CO2 per annum may be emitted in 2050. Such a reduction could especially affect the Dutch refining industry as it is a large emitter of CO2 with a total of 11 Mton of...master thesis 2017

Oei, A.H.G. (author)In the context of the ongoing energy transition away from fossil fuels the Dutch government sees great potential in the district heating sector as a key sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the heat provision sector. In addition, because of the fuel-flexibility of heat production facilities for district heating, district heating may...master thesis 2016

Abi Morshed, F. (author)Traditionally, the transmission network transported electricity over extended distances from local large scale electricity generation plants to distribution networks that transported electricity to end consumers (Ekanayake, 2012). In order to ensure that such a system remains operational, a Distribution System Operator (DSO) maintains, operates...master thesis 2016

Wynia, Y.E. (author)Today 19% of the global population has no access to electricity. Most of these people live in rural areas. These 1,4 billion people would benefit from electricity access for five reasons: their health, education, local economy, sense of safety and communication will benefit. This thesis focuses on off-grid microgrids, with no extension to a main...master thesis 2016

Kreijkes, M.M. (author)The Dutch energy system is greatly dependent on natural gas. In 2013 the primary energy consumption in the Netherlands was for 43% supplied with natural gas (CBS, 2015a). With this proportion of natural gas the Netherlands has the highest share in national primary energy consumption of Europe (Eurogas, 2014). The reason for this large share of...master thesis 2015

Van den Hil, E.J. (author)Sustainability has gained considerable interest at all levels in society during the last decades. Climate change has been a large contributor to this mentality change. As current energy systems are inefficient and contribute to climate change, a transition towards more efficient energy systems is sought. The share of local produced energy in the...master thesis 2015

Dechesne, Q.D. (author)Much attention is directed towards how to rapidly decarbonise the energy system. Unlike the present energy system based on fossil fuels, an energy system based on renewable energy sources with hydrogen and electricity as energy carriers would be sustainable in terms of CO2 emissions. Whereas in certain sectors (e.g. transport) the opportunities...master thesis 2015
