de Waal, Jeremy (author), Rauf, Namo (author)Before the project was started, there was an energy system integrator demonstrator. This demonstrator was purely software, there was no physical interaction possible with it. It demonstrated the energy system by simulations. The objective of this project was to design and built peripherals that represents the components of an energy system....bachelor thesis 2023

Čustović, I. (author), Kuttantharappel Soman, R. (author), Pauwels, Pieter (author), Hall, Daniel M. (author)A digital twin (DT) can enhance construction management with comprehensive real-time simulations. However, research rarely considers prefabrication factories, whose processes have a significant impact on cost and duration. It remains unclear how construction DTs can achieve their expected benefits without dynamically interacting with the DTs of...conference paper 2023

Guerra, Omar J. (author), Almajed, Hussain M. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Somoza Tornos, A. (author), Hodge, Bri Mathias S. (author)As energy systems across the globe transition toward net-zero emissions, the decarbonization of hard-to-decarbonize sectors, e.g., industry and transportation, is becoming more crucial. Renewable power-driven carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) electrolysis has the potential to facilitate this transition by (1) substituting carbon-intensive...review 2023

Zhu, Haoyu (author), Özkayar, G. (author), Lötters, J.C. (author), Tichem, M. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) devices require the precise control of various media. This is mostly done using several fluid control components, which are much larger than the typical OoC device and connected through fluidic tubing, i.e., the fluidic system is not integrated, which inhibits the system’s portability. Here, we explore the limits of...journal article 2023

Guan, H. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The electric vehicle (EV) market is expanding rapidly. However, the main barriers to EV adoption are high vehicle costs, range issues, and charging infrastructure. Meanwhile, energy storage systems (ESS) appear as a promising solution to preventing grid overload during charging and reducing infrastructure costs. In this paper, the integration of...conference paper 2023
