Vopak has the vision to become climate neutral by 2050 (Scope 1 and 2 emissions). Currently, over 99% of its CO2 emissions originate from storage terminal activities. Action must be taken to reduce these emissions by converting the current (fossil fuel-based) generation of electricity to sustainable energy.<br/><br/>This study aims to research...

In this thesis two new modulation methods are proposed for a wide output voltage range dualactive bridge (DAB) converter for bidirectional EV charging application. The objective of theproposed modulation method is to maximize the number of ZVS events over the operating range,while maintaining low current stress. The first modulation method...

High operating temperatures harm photovoltaic (PV) modules. The increase in temperature of the cells leads to lower open circuit voltage and higher short circuit current ultimately leading to a lower power output due to a negative thermal coefficient. Hence, lowering the temperature of commercial crystalline silicon modules during their...

In this thesis, a simulated annealing algorithm is implemented to optimize the efficiency of a tandem solar cell. The efficiency of a tandem solar cell is approximated by the current of the tandem solar cell. This current is determined by the simulation program GenPro4. Firstly, the general concepts of simulated annealing is described. After...

In a future energy system, chemical energy carriers that can easily be stored, like hydrogen, are of vital importance. One possible way of producing carbonneutral hydrogen is by direct solar to hydrogen conversion in a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). Silicon based multijunction solar cells are a possible candidate for the photovoltaic stack of...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies offer a renewable alternative to power generation that is based on fossil fuels; however, to meet the rising demand in electricity a substantial amount of surface area is required. This will inevitably lead to the installment of these systems on agricultural land, subsequently intensifying the land-use...

Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) employs optical elements such as mirrors to focus solar flux to a small target area with a photovoltaic (PV) receiver. CPV system design is hindered by the fact that there is no standardised workhorse model to accurately evaluate CPV topologies. The spectral irradiance standards - the backbone of PV system...

The installation of photovoltaic systems in the urban environment is becoming increasingly common. These photovoltaic systems are affected by a large fraction of reflected irradiance as well as partial shading. In a similar way these issues also have an important effect on bifacial photovoltaic power plants. Irradiance models that are able to...
