Deljoo, A. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Klievink, A.J. (author)Public-private service networks (PPSN) consist of social and technology components. Development of PPSN is ill-understood as these are dependent on a complex mix of interactions among stakeholders and their technologies and is influenced by contemporary developments. The aim of this paper is to advance our understanding of PPSN by modeling its...conference paper 2013

Sedighi, M. (author)Broadening adoption of social network tools within the enterprise suggests a new and valuable source for insight into the social structure through organizations. While online social media tools are being evolved by enterprises in recent years, the social media are used much for knowledge sharing. This paper focuses on how enterprise social...conference paper 2013

Park Lee, E. (author)The aim of this thesis is to define the specifications of an agent-based model to study the adoption and diffusion of solar PV in the Netherlands, accounting for consumer preferences and social influences. The conceptualization of the model is based on five pillars: agent-based modeling, the theory of planned behavior, choice modeling, dif-...master thesis 2013

De Wildt, T.E. (author)Three main goals have been assigned to Dutch electricity policy: a reliable, affordable and clean electricity sector. In order to make the electricity section cleaner by decreasing GHG emissions, the SDE+ regulation has been introduced to increase the share of renewable energies in the overall electricity production. The drawback of the...master thesis 2014

Bas, G. (author), van der Lei, T.E. (author)The use of modular plants in the chemical industry is expected to make the structure of supply chains more dynamic. The models currently used to get insight in supply chains assume a predefined supply chain structure, as orders are exogenously defined. Consequently, those models cannot grasp the dynamic nature of supply chains with modular...journal article 2015

Van Tol, P.J.M. (author)This thesis aims to be a contribution to the roll-out of new energy networks by presenting and discussing ways to minimize assessed construction costs associated with these networks. It does this by providing an extension of already existing methods to estimate building costs.master thesis 2015

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Schwarz, P. (author), Slinger, J (author)Modelling and simulation aim to reproduce the structure and imitate the behavior of real-life systems. For complex dynamic systems, System Dynamics (SD) and Agent-based (AB) modelling are two widely used modelling paradigms that prior to the early 2010’s have traditionally been viewed as mutually exclusive alternatives. This literature review...conference paper 2016

Jensen, T. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Simulation modeling is useful to gain insights into driving mechanisms of diffusion of innovations. This study aims to introduce automation to make identification of such mechanisms with agent-based simulation modeling less costly in time and labor. We present a novel automation procedure in which the generation of diffusion models is automated....conference paper 2016

Jensen, T. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Agent-based modeling is useful to simulate the human role in socio-technical systems. Thereby, the complexity of such systems can be captured. For instance, it has shown to be useful at simulating innovation in socio-technical systems. We develop a next step in which laborious model building is automated. We present a working example on...conference paper 2016

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)To ensure sufficient investment in electricity generation capacity, mechanisms such as strategic reserves are being considered or already implemented. We analyze the effectiveness of a strategic reserve in the presence of a growing portfolio share of renewable energy sources (RES) with EMLab-Generation, an agent-based electricity market model...journal article 2016

Passenier, D (author), Mols, C (author), Bim, J (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author)Safety culture is often understood as encompassing organizational members’ shared attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values associated with safety. Safety culture theory development is fraught with inconsistencies and superficiality of measurement methods, because the dynamic and political nature of culture is often ignored. Traditionally,...journal article 2016

Greeven, Sebastiaan (author), Kraan, O.D.E. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)Developing model-based narratives of society’s response to climate change is challenged by two factors. First, society’s response to possible future climate change is subject to many uncertainties. Second, we argue that society’s mitigation action emerge out of the actions and interactions of the many actors in society. Together, these two...journal article 2016

Hogeveen, P. (author)Car as Power Plant (CaPP) neighborhoods are an innovative approach to achieve sustainable, self-sufficient local energy systems. A key component of CaPP systems is a fleet of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), which provides mobility but also operates as decentralized power plants. The CaPP approach still requires proof of concept, this is...master thesis 2016

Moncada Escudero, J.A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author), Junginger, M. (author), Faaij, A. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The economic performance of biofuels supply chains depends on the interaction of technical characteristics as technological pathways and logistics, and social structures as actor behavior, their interactions and institutions. Traditional approaches focus on the technical problems only. Little attention has been paid to the institutional...journal article 2017

Moncada, J. A. (author), Junginger, M (author), Lukszo, Z. (author), Faaij, A (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)Biofuel production is not cost competitive and thus requires governmental intervention. The effect of the institutional framework on the development of the biofuel sector is not yet well understood. This paper aims to analyze how biofuel production and production capacity could have evolved in Germany in the period 1992–2014. The effects of...journal article 2017

(author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We analyze the effectiveness of a forward capacity market (FCM) with long-term contracts in an electricity market in the presence of a growing share of renewable energy. An agent-based model is used for this analysis. Capacity markets can compensate for the deteriorating incentive to invest in controllable power plants when the share of...journal article 2017

(author)The Brazilian government aims to increase the share of biofuels in the energy mix to around 18% by 2030, which implies an increase of ethanol production from currently 27 bln liters to over 50 bln liters per year. Biofuel policies play an important role in ethanol production, consumption, and investment in processing capacity. Nevertheless, a...journal article 2018

van der Veer, Koen (author)Increased Feed-in of renewable energy sources and an increase of sales of electric vehicles (EVs) complicate balancing of demand and supply. EVs are considered core enablers for dealing with intermittency due to their storage potential. This does however require that these EVs are charged according to smart charging protocols, which is a vehicle...master thesis 2018
