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

Goedegebure, Niels (author), Hennig, R.J. (author)A higher share of renewables and electric vehicles increase the risk of congestion in electricity distribution systems. New distribution tariff designs have been proposed to prevent congestion. However, most modeling of tariff performance assumes deterministic price information. This paper proposes a method to assess the impact of price...conference paper 2022

Sharif Azadeh, S. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Ben-Akiva, Moshe E. (author), Bierlaire, M. (author), Maknoon, M.Y. (author)Urban mobility services face the challenge of planning their operations efficiently while complying with user preferences. In this paper, we introduce a new mathematical model called a choice-driven dial-a-ride problem (CD-DARP) which is a generalization of the dynamic DARP where passenger behavior is integrated in the operational planning...journal article 2022

van der Heijden, T.J.T. (author), Lugt, D. (author), van Nooijen, R.R.P. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Participation in demand response (DR) has been explored for many large energy-using assets based on day ahead electricity markets. In this manuscript, we propose the use of multiple electricity spot markets to enable price-based DR for open canal systems in the Netherlands, where many large pumping stations are used for flood mitigation and...journal article 2022

Pelka, S. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Klobasa, M. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Household electricity use has an increasing impact on the overall energy system. Numerous proposals have been made to support households to consume electricity in a system-friendlier manner. By breaking these proposals down into functions and how they are performed, this paper identifies four distinctive governance designs: energy communities,...review 2022

Sharif Azadeh, S. (author), van der Zee, J. (author), Wagenvoort, M. (author)Sparsely populated areas tend to be poorly served by Fixed Line and Schedule (FLS) public transport systems as the operation of a regular bus line is not economically viable for such areas. Therefore, introducing a Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) to partially replace FLS can result in increasing mobility service accessibility and inclusion....journal article 2022

Bartels, Emiel Aurelius (author), Pippia, T.M. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Electrification of the heat network in buildings together with a rise in popularity of Electric Vehicles (EVs) will result in a need to make investments in the electrical energy infrastructure in order to prevent congestion. This paper discusses the influence of hydrogen in future smart microgrids on these investments. Moreover, smart control...journal article 2022

Gaona, David (author), Vermeer, W.W.M. (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)An integrated energy system consisted of PV panels, EV (electric vehicle), BES (battery energy storage), and a HP (heat pump) coupled with thermal storage tanks (TES) has been studied. The research aimed to minimize the total energy costs by scheduling the optimal power consumption of each device as response to two external signals as part of a...conference paper 2022

van der Heijden, T.J.T. (author), Palensky, P. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)In this manuscript we propose a methodology to generate electricity price scenarios from probabilistic forecasts. Using a Combined Quantile Regression Deep Neural Network, we forecast hourly marginal price distribution quantiles for the DAM on which we fit parametric distributions. A Non-parametric Bayesian Network (BN) is applied to sample from...conference paper 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

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

Okur, Ö. (author)In order to limit the amount of greenhouse gas emission, transitioning to renewable energy sources (RES) is critical. However, integrating RES in the existing power system is not straightforward since RES possess variable and uncertain characteristics. Due to these characteristics, as the penetration of RES increases, maintaining the balance...doctoral thesis 2021
