Energy transition in the Kalimantan power system: Combining spatiotemporal power system modelling with energy justice analysis

The Indonesian government has announced a national strategy to achieve net-zero emissions through energy transition and justice. However, there are no extensive studies that assess the impact of this strategy and the growing demand in the Kalimantan power system. Therefore, this thesis project aims to conduct a techno-economic and energy justice...

Effects of Power and Heating Sector Integration for the Future Dutch High-Voltage Electricity Grid: Development of a Representative Model of the Dutch High-Voltage Electricity Grid

We are on the verge of a global energy system revolution. By signing and ratifying global treaties, the groundwork for this revolution is laid. The objective is to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference...

Analyzing investments in the power system using optimization modeling

The energy transition requires significant investments in new power generation, storage, and transmission technology to achieve emission reduction targets while ensuring a stable supply of electricity. However, the increasingly complex, uncertain nature of the power system creates challenges for investors and requires advanced research and...

Hydrogen gas production from offshore wind: A cost-benefit analysis of optionality through grid connection

The decarbonisation of the Dutch power system cannot be accomplished by electrification alone. Although offshore wind power is to play a leading part in the future Dutch power system, long-term energy storage and hard-to-electrify energy consumers are in need of other energy carriers as well. Hydrogen gas is able to provide this system essential...

Interconnecting Geographically Distributed Laboratories for Smart Grid Testing & Validation

There is a convergence occurring between the energy demands of modern society and the sustainability requirements of the environment in which we live in. The combination of these factors is driving the development and implementation of an updated power system with integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). This calls for an update of the...

Modeling and Scheduling of a Controllable Electrolyser in an Industrial Grid

Natural gas has been a significant source of energy for the Netherlands for a long time, but due to developments such as climate change awareness and increased seismic activity in the Groningen area, the Dutch Government has decided to shift away from natural gas and look for alternatives. Hydrogen gas is such a contender, as it can partly use...

Modelling and Assessment of Restoration in Electrical Power Systems with High Penetration of Power Electronic Converters

Power outages can damage severely critical infrastructures such as telecommunication networks, financial services, water supplies and hospitals and completely shutting down production at companies. While most power blackouts usually last from some minutes to few hours, some can last days or even weeks. Furthermore, it is likely that these kinds...

RTDS/RSCAD Type-3 Doubly-Fed Induction Wind Turbine Generator Model: Internship Report

In the future, it is expected that the European Power Grid will be integrated with several sources of renewable energy producers (mainly wind/solar), alternating their maximum/minimum production periods per year. All involved parts of the European Power System (generation and consumption units) will increasingly be connected to the network...

Fundamental Study of Small-Signal Stability of Hybrid Power Systems

In the modern world, the load demands on the electrical grids are increasing at a very high rate. Due to increasing power demands and deregulation of the electrical power, the power systems are operated to their maximum capacities.<br/>Many renewable sources are integrated to the conventional grids to meet the increasing load demands. The HVDC...

Cost benefit analysis of different offshore grid topologies in the North

European countries are showing their willingness to reduce their greenhouse gases emissions in the coming years. For example, the Paris agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is one of the most crucial steps that countries have signed recently. The aim is to cause a lower global temperature increase,...
