Brodnevskaya, Kristina (author)In the face of accelerating urbanization and the consequent surge in housing demands, particularly in European capitals, Copenhagen is at the forefront of adopting innovative urban development strategies. One such strategy is the conceptualization and eventual realization of Lynetteholm, an artificial island designed to mitigate housing...master thesis 2024

Janissen, Jeroen (author)Climate change poses a significant threat to global lifestyles, necessitating urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). The Netherlands, committed to the Paris Climate Agreement, faces the challenge of meeting ambitious emission reduction targets set by the European Union's Fit for 55 initiative. However, the integration of...master thesis 2024

Piccini, Pietro (author)ncentive-based demand response (iDR) programs serve as important tools for distributed system operators (DSOs) to achieve a reduction in electricity demand during periods of grid overload. During these programs, participants can decide to curtail their consumption in exchange for financial incentives. Deciding the amount of curtailment for a...master thesis 2024

Stoter, Jasper (author)Seaport operators are becoming more environmentally conscious and are looking to electrify their terminals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to higher energy-related costs and more congestion on the electricity grid. This thesis investigates the potential of demand response as a viable strategy to reduce energy-related costs....master thesis 2023

Lambregts, Dorien (author)The production and consumption of electricity need to be balanced at all times. Due to the ever-growing shift towards renewable energy generation, this poses an increasingly difficult challenge. Currently, supply is regulated to maintain balance. However, there is potential to improve reliability and save costs by shifting the balancing to the...master thesis 2022

Soni, Anmol (author)Amidst the discourse regarding the decentralization of urban energy systems, energy community has emerged as a solution for optimizing the electricity demand and distributed generation. Community energy projects also facilitate collaboration amongst local prosumers. An energy community is a collective of residential electricity consumers (or...master thesis 2022

Slits, Wouter (author)To match supply from intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) with demand, it is proposed in literature to introduce flexibility in the electricity market of the future. Flexibility can be provided by energy storage, demand response and cross-border transmission. In this thesis flexibility is modeled explicitly through the price mechanism of...master thesis 2022

Leal Jauregui, Pedro (author)In the context of the energy transition, the energy sector is experiencing a paradigm shift towards electrification in a decentralized model, where renewable energy sources are becoming the protagonists. However, such shift comes with several challenges. In particular for this thesis, the intermittency of renewable energy sources coupled with...master thesis 2022

Geurts, Johan (author)The goals of bus services can be split into patronage (regarding the number of people that actually use the service) and coverage (regarding the number of people that are able to use the service) goals. Current bus networks are designed primarily for the coverage goals, as a consequence the patronage is lacking resulting in only few bus services...master thesis 2021

van Tilburg, Jasper (author)Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are responsible preventing grid congestion, while accounting for growing demand and the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. Incentive-based demand response programs promise real-time flexibility to relieve grid congestion. To include residential consumers in these programs, aggregators can...master thesis 2021

Saboo, Raunaq (author)Integration of the demand responsive transport system (DRT) with the public transport system can provide an opportunity for the public transport authorities to guarantee accessibility in rural areas and address the first/last mile problem in rural areas. The literature on the institutional arrangement and organising DRT as a part of the public...master thesis 2021

van der Heijden, Hugo (author)In this thesis the potential of demand response among households in The Netherlands is studied. The methodology is based on the conceptual design of an Agent-Based Model for the adoption of domestic demand response by households. From this model the subsequent flexibility in the electricity system will be brought forward.<br/><br/>A review of...master thesis 2021

Schumacher, Merel (author)By the year 2050, the Dutch government aims to have transitioned away from natural gas and provide heating to all residential dwellings using more sustainable technologies. Heat pumps (both all-electric and hybrid models) are expected to play a large role in fulfilling this heating demand. However, because heat pumps require electricity in order...master thesis 2021

Tetteroo, Rogier (author)Virtual Power Plants can aggregate and dispatch distributed energy sources (DER) to gain revenue in the Day-Ahead market, however as a Balancing Responsible Party they can risk imbalance cost due to deviations between the Day-Ahead forecast and actual production of their renewable energy portfolio. This study analyses the ability of industrial...master thesis 2021

ten Boske, Lisette (author)In the future, the energy supply will primarily consist of energy from renewables, which makes energy producers and grid operators fear that grid security and reliability could be threatened. On top of a more fluctuating supply, energy demand is also expected to increase in the coming years, especially if heating will be electrical when gas is...master thesis 2021

van Rossum, Rik (author)With the fast-growing electricity demand, challenges arise affecting the reliability and the quality of the distribution network. The Dutch DSOs could expand the network capacity, but it is not sure if the network can be expanded fast enough. Network expansion will result in higher total consumer costs and if the network expansion rate is too...master thesis 2021

Bartels, Emiel (author)A future rise in electrical energy demand is expected due to the electrification of the thermal energy supply and the rise in popularity of the Electric Vehicle (EV). This rise in the electrical energy demand results in needed investments in the electrical energy infrastructure to prevent congestion at the transformer due to the higher peak of...master thesis 2020

Gaona Reinoso, David (author)In the residential sector, natural gas has been the main consumed energy resource for surface heating (SH) and domestic hot water (DHW) during cold seasons, and substituting this energy carrier with electricity from renewable resources imposes challenges not only in economic but also technical terms. Due to the intermittent nature of renewable...master thesis 2020

Sampimon, Max (author)This project revolves around redesigning Demand Responsive Transport services for non-digital users. The Ombudsman has identified that in the past couple of years public transport (PT) operators are replacing fixed transit lines (FLT) by Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services in low demand areas (OV-loket, 2017). DRT is more efficient,...master thesis 2020

Jorna, Nienke (author)Renewable energy sources like wind and solar, are intermittent, which means demand will not always match supply causing volatile and sometimes even negative electricity prices. For power companies it will be valuable to invest in technologies that can respond to those prices, which will result in an increasing flexibility of demand. However, to...master thesis 2020
