Langer, J.K.A. (author)Indonesia has been dependent on its abundant coal reserves to meet its increasing electricity demand. The Indonesian government is aware of the negative environmental effects of coal combustion and pledged to become carbon neutral by 2060 or earlier by transitioning towards renewables. In principle, it is known that Indonesia has large renewable...doctoral thesis 2024

Mayer, Jakob (author), Süsser, Diana (author), Pickering, Bryn (author), Bachner, Gabriel (author), Sanvito, F.D. (author)Net-zero energy system configurations can be met in numerous ways, implying diverse economic effects. However, what is usually ignored in techno-economic and economy-wide analysis are the distinct social-political drivers and barriers, which might constrain certain elements of future energy systems. We thus apply a model ensemble that defines...journal article 2024

Liu, Zhengxuan (author), Sun, Ying (author), Huang, Ruopeng (author)The increasing greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions constitute one of the most significant global environmental issues. CO2 emissions from buildings and transportation are responsible for the largest proportion of total global carbon emissions from various sectors. Therefore it is necessary to utilize clean energy sources (e.g., renewable energy,...book chapter 2024

van der Roest, E. (author)The transition from a fossil to a renewable energy system presents challenges in ensuring reliable and affordable energy supply. This dissertation addresses these challenges by proposing an integrated system approach to designing a renewable energy and water system on the neighborhood level. The concept, known as Power-to-H3, involves converting...doctoral thesis 2023

Shengren, H. (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Salazar Duque, Edgar Mauricio (author), Palensky, P. (author)The massive integration of renewable-based distributed energy resources (DERs) inherently increases the energy system’s complexity, especially when it comes to defining its operational schedule. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms arise as a promising solution due to their data-driven and model-free features. However, current DRL...journal article 2023

Wu, F. (author), Muller, Adrian (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)Biomass is a growing renewable energy source in Europe and is envisioned to play a role for realising carbon neutrality, predominantly using dedicated energy crops. However, dedicated biomass is controversial for reasons including its competition with food production or its land-use and emissions impacts. Here we examine the potential role of a...journal article 2023

Wang, N. (author), Verzijlbergh, R.A. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Energy system optimization models are widely used to aid long-term investment decision-making for energy systems. From a socio-technical system viewpoint, existing models focus on the cost modeling of the technical subsystem, while the indirect costs of the social subsystem are not often modeled. This paper incorporates indirect costs into such...journal article 2023

Mylonopoulos, F.M. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Coraddu, A. (author)This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the state-of-the art modeling and optimization methods for the power and propulsion systems of ships. Modeling is a tool to investigate the performance of actual systems by running simulations in the virtual world. There are two main approaches in modeling: physics-based and data-driven...journal article 2023
