Zapata Arango, Mateo (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Itten, A.V. (author), Blok, K. (author)Background<br/>At the COP21, cities were recognised as key actors in combatting climate change. In supporting cities, climate city networks such as transnational climate networks (TCNs) and national climate networks (NCNs) have emerged to enable cities in building capacities and formulating climate policy whilst also encouraging citizen...journal article 2024

De Vries, Laurens (author), Sanchez Jimenez, I.J. (author)Existing indicators of electricity system adequacy need to be supplemented with economic performance indicators. As power systems are decarbonized, energy storage technologies are being developed and demand is becoming more flexible. Reliability standards need to reflect the price elasticity of these sources of flexibility. During scarcity...journal article 2022

Kaandorp, C. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Sustainable energy systems can only be achieved when reducing both carbon emissions and water use for energy generation. Although the water use for electricity generation has been well studied, integrated assessments of the water use by low-carbon heat systems are lacking. In this paper we present an analysis of the water use of scenarios for...journal article 2021

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Ren, Zhengru (author), Caboni, Marco (author), Verhoef, Hans (author), van der Mijle-Meijer, Harald (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)Rain-induced leading-edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is associated with high repair and maintenance costs. The effects of LEE can be triggered in less than 1 to 2 years for some wind turbine sites, whereas it may take several years for others. In addition, the growth of erosion may also differ for different blades and...journal article 2021

Bae, D. (author), Kanellos, Gerasimos (author), Faasse, G.M. (author), Dražević, Emil (author), Venugopal, A. (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Recent advances in photoelectrochemical redox flow cells, such as solar redox flow batteries, have received much attention as an alternative integrated technology for simultaneous conversion and storage of solar energy. Theoretically, it has been reported that even single- photon devices can demonstrate unbiased photo-charging with high solar-to...journal article 2020

Pruyn, J.F.J. (author)The EEDI is one measure to identify the energy efficiency of a vessel. Besides EEDI there are many other aspects relevant when considering the energy efficiency quality of a vessel, most based on design insights. In this paper, a set of ten relevant indicators are identified to establish the performance of the vessel and pinpoint the source of...journal article 2020

van Duin, Ron (author), Geerlings, Harry (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Bank, Daan (author)Reefers are refrigerated containers commonly used for transporting perishable goods such as meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. Nowadays, reefers are responsible for 40% of the total energy consumption of container terminals, when connected to the electricity grid on shore. Every time when a large number of reefers is plugged-in after arrival,...journal article 2019

Sarkar, Chayan (author), Venkatesha Prasad, Ranga Rao (author), Langendoen, K.G. (author)With the advent of low-cost, embedded sensor-actuator devices, the applications of cyber-physical systems have spread multi-fold in domains like infrastructure, manufacturing, automation, etc. Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSANs) act as the backbone for applications in these domains. Typical WSAN deployments focus on energy-efficiency ...journal article 2019

Meijer, F.M. (author), Straub, A. (author), Mlecnik, E. (author)The housing sector is responsible for a more than a quarter of the total final energy consumption in the EU. As the majority (70%) of the EU-housing stock is owner occupied and largely consists of single family dwellings it is understandable that many countries focus their energy saving policies on homeowners. Complementary to the national...journal article 2018

(author), de Jonge, W. (author)Increasing energy efficiency of the housing stock is one of the largest challenges in the built environment today. In line with the international Paris-Climate-Change-Conference 2015, Dutch municipalities and housing associations have embraced the ambition to achieve carbon neutrality for their social housing stock by 2050. However, most deep...journal article 2018

Solcerova, A. (author), van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author), Hilgersom, K.P. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)The urban heat island effect was first described 200 years ago, but the development of ways to mitigate heat in urban areas reaches much further into the past. Uchimizu is a 17th century Japanese tradition, in which water is sprinkled around houses to cool the ground surface and air by evaporation. Unfortunately, the number of published studies...journal article 2018

Acosta, Cristina (author), Ortega, Mariana (author), Bunsen, Till (author), Koirala, B.P. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) are an emerging local energy system focusing on the collective use of distributed energy resources (DER). These socio-technical systems (STSs) have a high potential to advance the transition towards socially inclusive, environmentally-friendly energy systems and to stimulate the local economy. While...journal article 2018

Solcerova, A. (author), van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), Selker, J.S. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)A phenomenon known as the skin effect-a layer of surface water that is colder than the water beneath it-was previously described in oceanography and verified in lab measurements. Only a few measurements have been done on the skin effect in field conditions, and therefore this phenomenon is relatively unknown. This paper presents measurements...journal article 2018

Milchram, C. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author)Smart grid technologies are considered an important enabler in the transition to more sustainable energy systems because they support the integration of rising shares of volatile renewable energy sources into electricity networks. To implement them in a large scale, broad acceptance in societies is crucial. However, a growing body of research...review 2018
