Design of concrete spheres for energy storage at the ocean bed: An optimisation of the conceptual design

In the energy sector, a transition is made from fossil fuels to sustainable energies. Due to an irregular supply of these sustainable energies, it often occurs that there is a mismatch between supply and demand. Energy storage is a promising technique to overcome this. In this thesis, the aim is to store gravitational energy in concrete spheres...

Quays Rather Than Boilers: Extracting Heat From Water and Soil Through Energy Sheet Piles

As part of the effort to make the Dutch waterways CO2-neutral, a consortium consisting of, among others, CRUX Engineering BV and Delft University of Technology, initiated a case study in which the thermal and mechanical performance of an energy sheet pile wall is studied. This technology allows for the extraction of energy from the water and...
