Tsui, T.P.Y. (author), Furlan, C. (author), Wandl, Alex (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)Implementing a circular economy in cities has been proposed by policy makers as a potential solution for achieving sustainability in the construction sector. One strategy that has gained interest by both policy makers and companies is to develop “circular construction hubs”: locations that collect, store, and redistribute waste as secondary...journal article 2024

Casali, Y. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)Urban areas are dynamic systems, in which different infrastructural, social and economic subsystems continuously co-evolve. As such, disruptions in one system can propagate to another. However, open challenges remain in (i) assessing the long-term implications of change for resilience and (ii) understanding how resilience propagates...journal article 2024

Chen, Huan (author), Zhang, Zhaoyu (author), Guo, R. (author), Han, Xutao (author), Zhang, Xuanrui (author), Lin, Junhao (author)The gas state of the insulating gas significantly impacts the development and extent of the partial discharge (PD) in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). Correlating these two factors allows for a more comprehensive diagnosis of insulation defects. At present, the ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) method has been widely used for PD detection in GIS....journal article 2024

Finca, Andiswa (author), Linnane, Suzanne (author), Slinger, J (author), Getty, David (author), Samuels, M. Igshaan (author)Communal rangelands in South Africa are generally perceived as overgrazed owing to complexities in their histories and collective utilisation which often leads to improper management. A suitable solution has not been found in land management policies because local people’s contexts and their indigenous knowledge are ignored. Hence, this paper is...journal article 2023

Chen, Y. (author), Castro Heredia, L.C. (author), Smit, J.J. (author), Ghaffarian Niasar, M. (author), Ross, Robert (author)Partial discharges (PD) detection is an effective diagnostic method to assess the insulation condition of electrical power equipment in the high-voltage laboratory or field tests. This paper presents a non-contacting PD detection method for power equipment. The method is based on an extra high-sensitivity adapted giant magneto-resistive (xMR)...journal article 2023

Cardinali, M. (author), Beenackers, Mariëlle A. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), Pottgiesser, U. (author)In the interdisciplinary field of green space health research, there is a demand to reduce the effort to assess green space, especially for non-spatial disciplines. To address this issue, we developed AID-PRIGSHARE, an open-source script that automates over 400 QGIS processes to substantially reduces the time-intensive task of generating...journal article 2023

(author), Lahti, Kari (author), Khamlichi, Abderrahim (author), Arcones, Eduardo (author), Klüss, Joni (author), Mor, A. R. (author)On-site partial discharge (PD) measurements have turned out to be a very efficient technique for determining the insulation condition in high-voltage electrical grids (AIS, cable systems, GIS, HVDC converters, etc.); however, there is not any standardised procedure for determining the performances of PD measuring systems. In on-line and on...journal article 2023

Zhou, Y. (author), Wilmink, D. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ziar, H. (author)Integration of photovoltaics (PV) into the urban environment will play a major role in the energy transition. However, installing PV systems on building roofs can be challenging, particularly for monumental buildings with strict architectural and social value restrictions. Assessing roof surface visibility is, therefore, key to finding as...journal article 2023

Chindarkar, Namrata (author), Goyal, N. (author)Electricity access is an important issue and building capacity for it requires drawing relevant lessons from past policies. In this study, we evaluate the effect of the Jyotigram Yojana, or the lighted village scheme, a supply-side policy intervention during 2003–08 to increase rural electricity access in Gujarat, India. We hypothesize that...journal article 2023

Mier Escurra, C. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Vaessen, P.T.M. (author), Lathouwers, A.G.A. (author)One of the main difficulties in measuring partial discharges (PD) in gas-insulated substations (GIS) is the overlapping of pulses at the sensor's location, which distorts the pulse resolution and the charge estimation. This research presents a new method called “synergy,” which identifies and suppresses reflections using magnetic and electric...journal article 2023
