The need to create a more flexible and modern electricity system, which additionally can attribute to energy savings, has been started in the Netherlands in the 1990’s beginning with the introduction of liberalization and unbundling of those corporations responsible for electricity production and transport. Creating a more flexible and modern...

Electric driving is currently a hot item in the Netherlands. Yet, it is surrounded by uncertainty result-ing in companies adopting a wait-and-see attitude regarding the introduction of electric vehicles (EV). This paper’s aim is to study what motivates companies in the Netherlands to introduce EV in their organisations. Interviews are conducted...

This thesis examines the application of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) in civil engineering projects. VDV is a method which makes use of the multi-screen iRoom to allow stakeholders simultaneously describe, present and evaluate projects on product, organisation and process perspectives (Kunz and Fischer 2012). This thesis addresses the...

While agent-based models (ABM) are increasingly used to study overall system behaviour of various systems, they can also be hard to use by people and organisations that are not familiar with this modelling paradigm. Creating usable agent-based models is thus an important aspect to consider while constructing agent-based models. However, an ABM...

A financial feasibility study into the development of a 'sustainable fuel from digested manure' system for the Salland region within the Province of Overijssel in the Netherlands. This is a specific variant of a green gas hub system, which produces sustainable fuel as end product. To deal with challenges and uncertainties in the development the ...

CHP-Belduco is a Combined Heat and Power plant, which was built on the site of Belchem, a chemical company in Flanders, Belgium. The purpose of the plant is to deliver steam and other utilities to the chemical plants on the site. In order to do that efficiently, the combination of heat and electricity is used. The plant is owned and managed by...

The electric power network has to be able to cope with extensive changes in the near future, like distributed generation (DG) and electricity produced from renewable energy sources (RES). The conventional technologies, which are used in the electric power network of the Netherlands, are not sufficient to cope with these changes. This research...

Large infrastructure promotors progressively outsource parts of their organization to contractors. For them, outsourcing brings along a dependency on contractors for the realization of their objectives. With control over outsourced processes declining, these large organizations risk failure to capitalize on the economic and ecologic potential of...

De Groot, N.C. (author)
The design of complex technological systems required an early outlook of institutional issues. The paper suggests a design methodology to combine institutional design and engineering design. The design methodology is applied to a case study of tidal power development in the Klabat bay, Indonesia. In the case study it is shown that there are...

Process technology is in development for the long term. This thesis presents an agent concept, part of an agent-based model, specified to the conceptual level, that deals with technical complexity of process technology, and can help to assess the economic value of combinations of connected process technology.

Agent-based modelling is a popular and suitable tool for exploring the possible states of so-called socio-technical systems. These systems consist of both technical artefacts (the physical infrastructure, e.g. pipelines), and many social artefacts (relevant actors and institutions, e.g. end-users and governments), which are intertwined with each...

The emergence of green gas is a promising development within the Dutch gas market. Green gas is biogas with natural gas quality and can lead to a significant (up to 70%) greenhouse gas reduction. It therefore contributes to several sustainable energy targets and might partly solve some economical and geopolitical issues within the gas market....

The expected increase in future demand of biomass feedstock in Rwanda cannot be met because of constraints at the supply side. This has a negative effect on the energy security for Rwandese in the future and the income generated for the Rwandan population involved in biomass feedstock production. There are, however, opportunities to stimulate...

Decision-making for flood defense while facing a considerable change in driving forces demands other methods than the traditional approach of forecasting and optimal policy selection. Exploratory modeling can be a candidate for helping adaptive policymaking to deal with the uncertainties that confront decision-makers. In adaptive policymaking...

Smart grids are introduced as a promising concept to facilitate the future energy supply system without excessive distribution grid reinforcement, while maintaining the same level of reliability. Load management is expected to enable a higher grid capacity utilization, thereby deferring or eliminating the need for asset reinforcements and...

The introduction of large numbers of Electric Vehicles (EV) poses significant challenges to the power infrastructure. The combination of expected consumer recharging behaviour and the technical characteristics of the EV’s recharging power demand could potentially lead to significant increases in peak demand and cause overloads. Conventional...
