Skoulas, Vasileios (author)Long truck queues and congestion around terminals is a common sight, however they come with many negative externalities for all the stakeholders involved. Truck Appointment System (TAS) is the most commonly used system to face these problems, but it still has some drawbacks and limitations. Consequently, in this research an extension of the...master thesis 2024

de Koe, Luka (author)As a result of ongoing climate change, urban environments are put under increasing pressure from extreme weather events. Insufficient research is being done into the modeling of urban drought resilience. Most urban drought resilience and water network optimization models are designed for city-scale demand with regional water supply networks and...master thesis 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

Wang, N. (author)The pledge for a carbon-free energy system in 2050 requires significant investments into renewable energy sources (RES). The relevant questions are: what technologies to select, where to build them, how much the capacities are, and at what cost. In order to answer these techno-economic questions, optimization models are commonly used to sketch a...doctoral thesis 2022

Sow, Alex (author)Although there is a common understanding that the use of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) is needed in our collective attempt to decarbonise society, the type of technology that we should deploy, and where is not so clear. Stakeholders from real-world projects use the outcomes from optimisation models to aid their decision-making process...master thesis 2022

Ding, Wenlong (author), Wang, Y. (author), Chu, Pengzi (author), Chen, Feng (author), Song, Yongchao (author), Zhang, Ning (author), Lin, Dong (author)The rapid development of the economy has promoted the growth of freight transportation. The truck service areas on expressways, as the main places for truck drivers to rest, play an important role in ensuring the driving safety of trucks. If these service areas are constructed densely or provide a plentiful supply of parking areas, they are...journal article 2022

Gao, Shibin (author), Lei, Jieyu (author), Wei, Xiaoguang (author), Liu, Y. (author), Wang, Tao (author)This letter develops a new bilevel optimization model to construct false data injection attack based on pre- and post- dispatch. In order to enhance the attack concealment, the proposed bilevel model can minimize the variation of uploaded measurements between pre- and post-attack before dispatching, after which the attack can lead the system...journal article 2022

Jaspers, Barend (author)The transition towards an energy system with high shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources has significant implications for the electricity system's demand and supply of balancing services, i.e. all the services to level out frequency deviations in the electricity system. First, the intermittent character and limited predictability of...master thesis 2021

Hommes, Jim (author)The European Green Deal states that the European Union will have to cut 55% of carbon-dioxide (CO2) levels and implement a share of at least 40% of renewable energy sources in the electricity sector by 2030, compared to levels of 1990. While renewable energy technologies are effective in cutting CO2 levels, they also bring challenges like...master thesis 2021

van Hemert, Dick (author)Parcel deliveries have seen a massive grow over the past several years, mainly in the B2C sector due to rise of online shopping. Due to this growing market more transport movements in the last mile are required. These extra driven kilometers add up to an increase in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In a world where the ask for more sustainable...master thesis 2020

Wang, N. (author), Verzijlbergh, R.A. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) are characterized by intensive land-use and variable production. In existing optimization models that minimize the total cost of the energy system, location-specific VRES production profiles are often used to estimate VRES potential, but land-use and land cover aspects have been largely ignored. In this...journal article 2020
