Alberts, Gijs (author)(standing) E-scooters are a promising mode of transport; the vehicles are electrically powered, light, and fit in the dense urban landscape. However, little is known about the impact of these vehicles that can be expected when introduced in the Netherlands. In this paper, effect estimations of e-scooters on travel behaviour and society are made,...master thesis 2021

Koolman, George (author)The need for proper fast charging infrastructures is one of the key challenges for the wide adoption of elec- trical vehicles (EV). The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) together with high demand tariffs can cause monthly DSO demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station’s electric bill. Therefore,...master thesis 2020

Grímsson, Grímur (author)Accurately forecasting charging demand is a major factor in energy providers’ ability to meet said demand. A number of methods have been proposed in the literature. This master thesis aims to provide a framework for energy providers to forecast charging demand due to increased EV adoption. Specifically, this research examines the effects that...master thesis 2020

WAGH, SAUMITRA (author)Although electric vehicles were first used as early as the 19th century, they have only recently gained popularity. By charging them with renewable sources, electric vehicles present a route to zero or low emission mobility. This is a significant reason for their recent popularity given the climate crisis. However, the integration of electric...master thesis 2020

Trago, Bas (author)By analysing existing agent-based model (ABM) charging behaviour formalisations, this study evaluates the impact of a new static band-width network tariff structure on charging demand. Additionally, this approach enables a comparative study to reflect upon the susceptibility and value of the ABM method. Based on the simulation results, this...master thesis 2020

Premkumar, Sreeram (author)The penetration of renewable energy sources is increasing every year and that poses a lot of challenges in the distribution system. Since they are intermittent in nature, they cannot serve the energy demand as stand alone sources without the help of storage technologies or stable energy sources. As the RES, especially the Photo Voltaic...master thesis 2020

Tomar, Saloni (author)Transport sector CO2 emissions are on the rise and responsible for nearly 30% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions (European Parliament,2019). An attractive way to reduce the CO2 emissions by transport is by changing the fuel used. Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in a clean, secure and affordable energy future (IEA). However, a clean,...master thesis 2020

Fu, Dawei (author)The current city charging network for electric vehicle (EV) is mainly composed of low-speed charging points. When the number of EVs increase dramatically in the future, the current charging network needs to be upgraded with more charging stations and fast-charging (FC) facilities. We build a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model to propose an...master thesis 2020

Abhay, Nived (author)The automotive industry plays a crucial role in battling the climate crisis and reducing emissions. Medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles alone contribute to one-fourth of global emissions in the transport sector and there is a positive trend in the demand for these vehicles. Battery Electric Trucks have the potential to transform the growing...master thesis 2020

Dreucci, D. (author)Although the idea of electric vehicles fell out of favour in the 1930s, it seems this phenomenon is now reversing and that many companies are willing to invest again on this technology. The advantages are clear: no emissions and the possibility to power vehicles by means of sustainable sources. On the other hand, a high number of simultaneously...master thesis 2020
