Wattel, M.J. (author)The Dutch electricity system is changing and subject to multiple developments. Important developments are the increasing share of distributed energy resources (DER?s) such as solar panels and the increasing use of electronics like computers and televisions. While DER?s produce DC (Direct Current) power, electronics consume DC power. Nevertheless...master thesis 2013

Wynia, Y.E. (author)Today 19% of the global population has no access to electricity. Most of these people live in rural areas. These 1,4 billion people would benefit from electricity access for five reasons: their health, education, local economy, sense of safety and communication will benefit. This thesis focuses on off-grid microgrids, with no extension to a main...master thesis 2016

Hügel, Casper (author)The volatile production of renewable energy sources is often considered a key issue in future sustainable energy systems. Drawing on microgrid research, we argue that the potential synergy between microgrid energy management and provision of flexibility services to the wider grid could be further explored. In addition, the trade-off between cost...master thesis 2018

Vral, T.G.T. (author)The thesis proposes a controller that enables microgrids to have a modular structure, to be flexible in terms of linked energy consumers and resources, and to offer the possibility of prioritized demand side management, while avoiding the need of employing a dedicated communication network. For this, the control strategy applies droop control,...master thesis 2016
