Ma, Tianyue (author)Located in the large urban area named Randstad, the Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan area (MRDH) has the largest European port and the majority of Dutch greenhouse sector residing within its borders. Accounted for only 2.7% of the area in the Netherlands, the MRDH consumes 17.3% of the total energy use. However, the MRDH is almost impoverished...master thesis 2019

Montenegro Cardona, Lorena (author)The building sector uses 40% of the primary energy worldwide. Energy demand in a non-residential existing building is rising due to higher comfort conditions, population growth and the enhancement of the building services. On the other hand, renewable energy technologies are every time more accessible for the built environment, especially the...master thesis 2019

Diran, Devin (author)The transition towards a sustainable energy system in the built environment is commonly referred to the incremental adoption of a variety of available technologies, practices and policies that may contribute to decrease the environmental impact, at reasonable costs and adequate quality standards. The complexity of the transition requires a sound...master thesis 2019

Windeij, Rens (author)Climate change is an inevitable fact and governments worldwide have started to recognize this by expanding the contribution of renewable energy sources to our global energy production. Wind energy is currently one of the most attractive solutions for the transition to a more sustainable energy future. Since wind energy is not the only competitor...master thesis 2019

Nejabat, R. (author), van Geenhuizen, M.S. (author)Universities are cradles of innovation, with many start-ups involved in sustainable energy solutions. The extent in which such solutions reach the market and the kind of risk-related factors young firms encounter, are hardly known and understood. We aim to clarify market introduction and focus on the empirics of firms' risk-taking behavior...journal article 2019

Nejabat, R. (author), van Geenhuizen, M.S. (author)Many university spin-off firms today are involved in sustainable energy technology. However, to what extent and how spin-offs reach market introduction of their inventions, is not well-understood. Spin-offs may differ in many ways, like entrepreneurial orientation and competences, and opportunities in their ecosystem. To contribute to a...conference paper 2019

Putter, Yvo (author)In The Netherlands, the current heat energy system accounts for 44% of the primary energy usage and relies almost entirely on fossil fuels such as natural gas. To meet the Paris Climate Agreement goals, 4th Generation District Heating (4GDH) networks are expected as sustainable heat energy system solution. The concept relies on optimally...master thesis 2018

Diaz Rodriguez, Sebastian (author)The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources makes it difficult for electric utility companies to effectively implement these technologies in the power grid due to mismatches between supply and demand. Solid oxide cells are electrochemical devices that are receiving a lot attention as an effective power grid balancing technology, given...master thesis 2018

van Giezen, Andreas (author)Royal HaskoningDHV is currently exploring ultra-deep geothermal heating systems in the Netherlands. Within this research it was analyzed whether people show different levels of emotions when being confronted with ultra-deep geothermal energy projects, and whether there are differences in antecedents of emotions between people living in an area...master thesis 2018

Hulsman, Tom (author)With technology dependent on electricity increasingly pervading our everyday life the access to energy becomes a driver for our general development and wellbeing. While the access to energy seems as something trivial there is a growing number of people which are unable to pay their electricity bills and are disconnected from the energy grid....master thesis 2018

Perlaviciute, Goda (author), Steg, Linda (author), Contzen, Nadja (author), Roeser, S. (author), Huijts, Nicole (author)Energy projects aimed at a sustainable energy transition can trigger strong negative emotions and resistance from the public. While practitioners are increasingly realising that they cannot simply ignore public emotions, they struggle with how to deal with people's emotional responses and how to secure public acceptability of sustainable...journal article 2018

Steinebach, Koen (author)The wind energy industry is growing more than ever before and wind energy as a renewable energy source has shown quite a potential over the years. Unfortunately, the power yield of a wind farm can fluctuate largely over time, which originates from fluctuating wind speed magnitudes. Convection of air, turbulence, humidity and radiation of heat are...bachelor thesis 2017

Buise, S.A.J. (author)Energy storage plays a key role in the transit from fossil fuels, as main energy source, to sustainable ones. In this work, it is tried to find an electrode material which can eventually be used in potentially cheap, large scale rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. This application would ideally be made of abundant, safe and environmental friendly...master thesis 2017

Willems, C.J.L. (author)Huge amounts of heat are stored in sedimentary aquifers in the Dutch subsurface. The amount of heat would be sufficient to provide our national heat demand for decades without any greenhouse gas emissions. Exploitation of this type of resource started some 10 years ago in the Netherlands. In 2016, 16 geothermal doublet systems had been installed...doctoral thesis 2017

Read, S.A. (author), Lindhult, Erik (author), Mashayekhi, A. (author)Our present economy is high-energy and demand-intensive, demand met through the use of high energy yield fossil fuels. Energy efficiency and renewable energy sources are proposed as the solution and named the ‘twin pillars’ of sustainable energy policy. Increasing energy efficiencies are expected to reduce energy demand and fossil fuel use and...journal article 2016
