Hall, Alize (author)A method to help renewables flourish is mitigating the variability that is inherent in natural resources. To do so, we explore the intricacies of the relationship between airborne wind (AWE) and solar energy to uncover the possibilities of future energy-generating hybrid power plants (HPP). Which leads to steering away from fossil fuel reliance,...master thesis 2023

Langer, J.K.A. (author), Roosenboom-Kwee, Z. (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ashqar, Ziad (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Praktiknjo, Aaron (author), Blok, K. (author)Geospatial analysis is useful for mapping the potential of renewables like solar PV. However, recent studies do not address PV’s bankable potential for which project financing can be secured. This paper proposes a framework that incorporates project finance into geospatial analyses to obtain the bankable potential of renewables. We demonstrate...journal article 2023

Daswani, Gaurav (author)Fossil fuels play an important role as an energy source in the world. The high use of fossil fuels does not come without environmental and climate challenges. The development of renewable energy technology is seen as one of the solutions to tackling these challenges because of its non-carbon-emitting characteristic. Renewable energy technologies...master thesis 2022

Reuchlin, Sweder (author)Currently, in remote off-grid locations, electricity is primarily generated using diesel generators, which is expensive and has significant carbon emissions. Alternatively, these remote locations have a huge potential for utilizing renewable energy sources. In such locations, airborne wind energy (AWE) systems could have an advantage over...master thesis 2022

Diab, I. (author), Scheurwater, Bram (author), Saffirio, Alice (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Reducing the environmental impact of transportation requires the successful integration of renewable energy sources into the electrical transportation networks. However, the mismatch between renewable generation and the intermittent bus schedules causes temporary absence of loads and creates considerable excess energy, potentially rendering...journal article 2022

Romero Olvera, Ana (author)With the increased market share of bifacial modules, it is becoming increasingly important to have sensors that provide information about the irradiance falling into both sides of the modules. Such instruments give more information about the performance of PV modules. They can optimize the material, tilt, and orientation of PV modules according...master thesis 2021

Salokhe, Devyani (author)PV systems in urban environments frequently get shaded by nearby objects, which greatly reduces their yield. A potential solution for such situations is the use of reconfigurable PV modules. They are a type of modules which can reconfigure themselves under varying illumination conditions to ensure optimum yield at all times. The individual PV...master thesis 2021

Meenakshi Sundaram, Aarthi (author)With increasing urbanization it has become increasingly important to focus on reducing emissions at a residential level. Decisions of households to adopt emissions reducing technologies are influenced not just by economic factors, but by the type of social networks they are embedded in. There is however little insight into the relationship...master thesis 2021

Tönis, Max (author)By signing the Paris Climate Agreement, The Netherlands has committed itself to curtail its CO2- emissions in order to keep global warming well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Pivotal to achieve these targets is the phase-out of CO2-intensive electricity generation technologies and investments in renewables. Current investments aiming to...master thesis 2021

Sulaeman, Ilman (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Future office buildings are expected to be integrated with energy intensive, inherently DC components such as photovoltaic panels (PV), electric vehicles (EV), LED lighting, and battery storage. This paper conceptualizes the interconnection of these components through a 750 V DC nanogrid as against a conventional three-phase 400 V AC system. The...journal article 2021

Kalloe, Nikhil (author), Bos, Jorrit A. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author), Palensky, P. (author)The last decade has seen an immense growth in renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) plants due to environmental concerns. Due to this rapid growth, solar PV plants are starting to have a larger influence on power system stability and thus their dynamic behavior cannot be ignored in stability studies. The lack of well...journal article 2020

De Winter, Niels (author)Reducing the cost and CO2 emission for the power generation for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plant by using inverter based generation is the main challenge posed in this thesis. Both factors can be decreased by using inverter based generation instead of the conventional gas powered power plant for generating the power for a islanded...master thesis 2019

Carvajal Rodriguez, Juan (author)Costa Rica’s electric grid is dominated by renewable sources, mostly by hydropower 74% and with geothermal 12.4% and wind 10.6%. Hence, in dry season when the water levels drop significantly, there are difficulties to supply the national electricity demand (CENCE, 2016). Despite this and the added fact that the country’s has enormous solar...master thesis 2017
