Pelka, S. (author)The potential of households to adapt their energy use to the conditions of the energy system remains largely untapped due to shortcomings in consumer governance (i.e., the organization of household energy use). A lack of price signals and services leads to uncoordinated household energy use. Various proposals exist for updating consumer...doctoral thesis 2024

van Noort, Siebren (author)The introduction of electric buses (EBs) is required in order to achieve global greenhouse emission goals. However, operating an electric bus fleet (EBF) requires careful consideration of both the mobility and energy systems in charging strategies. In literature and in real life many cases show careful consideration of only one of the systems...master thesis 2024

Kruit, Sebastiaan (author)This thesis project explores how V2X communication between electric vehicles (EV) and charging stations can be used to reduce en-route charging times. This is done using standardized V2X messages for EV charging, as well as proposing an extension to these messages to include data on the intentions of other vehicles. As individual vehicles can...master thesis 2024
