Budez Vergara, Jonathan (author)The electrical network must have adequate capacity to avoid congestion for all but the highest load levels. The most common solution to manage this congestion is to gradually invest in new infrastructure. An alternative solution for congestion management is the use of flexible loads, or demand response. In order to determine the relative value...master thesis 2019

Bronsvoort, Kristel (author)The aim of this thesis was to find the preferences of bus users in rural areas of the Netherlands for alternative public transport. Two alternatives for bus were proposed: a demand responsive transport service and a multi-modal alternative that combined express bus with bike-sharing services for last mile transport. A stated choice survey was...master thesis 2019

Zwijnenburg, Joris (author)The production of renewable energy is steadily going up, and as a result of the (almost) zero-marginal cost renewables, the marginal cost based electricity prices go down. While the need for backup generation increases due to the fluctuating availability of renewable energy, the generation units that supply electricity during demand peaks see...master thesis 2019

Alonso González, M.J. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The impact of on-demand urban transport services on traffic reduction will depend on the willingness to share (WTS) of individuals. However, the extent to which individuals are willing to share remains largely unknown. By means of a stated preference experiment, this study analyses the WTS of respondents by comparing their preferences towards...conference paper 2019

Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The emergence of innovative mobility services, is changing the way people travel in urban areas. Such systems offer on-demand service (door-To-door or stop-To-stop, individual or shared) to passengers. In addition to providing flexible services to passengers, past studies suggested that such services could effectively absorb the demand for...conference paper 2019

Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Strbac, Goran (author)Thermostatically controlled loads such as refrigerators are exceptionally suitable as a flexible demand resource. This paper derives a decentralised load control algorithm for refrigerators. It is adapted from an existing continuous time control approach, with the aim to achieve low computational complexity and an ability to handle discrete time...conference paper 2019

Voulis, N. (author), van Etten, Max (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)The European Union considers demand response to be an integral part of its future energy vision, in particular as a supporting mechanism for renewable resource integration. To achieve high demand response participation, the European Union recognises the need for adequate financial incentives for all consumers, especially for residential and...journal article 2019

Aggregator-mediated demand response: Minimizing imbalances caused by uncertainty of solar generationOkur, Ö. (author), Voulis, N. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)The high level of uncertainty of renewable energy sources generation creates differences between electricity supply and demand, endangering the reliable operation of the power system. Demand response has gained significant attention as a means to cope with uncertainty of renewable energy sources. Demand response of residential and service...journal article 2019

Mancini, Francesco (author), Nastasi, B. (author)Electrification of the built environment is foreseen as a main driver for energy transition for more effective, electric renewable capacity firming. Direct and on-time use of electricity is the best way to integrate them, but the current energy demand of residential building stock is often mainly fuel-based. Switching from fuel to electric...journal article 2019

Methenitis, G. (author), Kaisers, Michael (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author)We study mechanisms to incentivize demand response in smart energy systems. We assume agents that can respond (reduce their demand) with some probability if they prepare prior to the real-ization of the demand. Both preparation and response incur costs to agents. Previous work studies truthful mechanisms that select a minimal set of agents to...conference paper 2019

Sharmeen, F. (author), Meurs, Henk (author)In the new-generation smart mobility paradigm, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS)<br/>systems have shown the most potential to offer integrated mobility platforms. MaaS is essentially an amalgamation of services tailored to match individuals’ diverse travel demands, many of which are demand-responsive transit (DRT) or DRT-like, addressing the much...book chapter 2019

Broere, Lennart (author)Currently in the energy system of the Netherlands, lower level consumer demand flexibility is rather obsolete due to sufficient capacity limits of the distribution network and supply of capacity mechanisms by large industrial actors. However, in the upcoming 10- 20 years, the power system is in transition to become decentralised with a higher...master thesis 2018

Passenger Route Choice and Assignment Model for Combined Fixed and Flexible Public Transport SystemsNarayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The recent technological innovations have given rise to innovative mobility solutions. Public transport systems combining such services need novel models for the design of services. We develop a multimodal route choice and assignment model for combined use of line/schedule based public transport systems (fixed public transport) and demand...conference paper 2018

Fan, Songli (author), Ai, Qian (author), Piao, L. (author)Battery energy storage (BES) and demand response (DR) are considered to be promising technologies to cope with the uncertainty of renewable energy sources (RES) and the load in the microgrid (MG). Considering the distinct prediction accuracies of the RES and load at different timescales, it is essential to incorporate the multi-timescale...journal article 2018

Okur, Ö. (author), Voulis, N. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Aggregators are considered essential to extend demand response (DR) to small residential and service sector consumers. Both sectors currently have untapped load flexibility, which is considered key to support renewable resource integration. Aggregators can offer this flexibility in bulk to other power system parties. This paper addresses the...conference paper 2018

However, demand response (DR) and electrical energy storage (EES) also contribute to system adequacy. In this paper, we analyse the change in the need for a CM if DR and EES are...journal article 2018
