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

Berger, Tim (author)The predestined energy transition will induce major changes in the energy system. As demand for electricity is expected to rise, the electricity grid expansion by the DSO is viewed as an essential aspect in the transition. It is argued that the DSO currently face two major challenges; an increased workload, and ageing and scarcity of personnel....master thesis 2022

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The building sector is responsible for more than one-third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Netherlands has set an ambitious target to reduce GHG emissions by 95% by 2050 compared to the 1990 baseline. Several factors, such as low retrofitting rates, lead to uncertainties in achieving these targets. In the residential sector, the...journal article 2022

Pelka, S. (author), Kern, Dominik (author), George, Jan (author)Platforms facilitate the participation of households and their energy assets in the energy system. Platform services are considered attractive for households if the energy cost savings exceed the transaction cost of the service. We conceptualize different platform architecture, quantify their transaction cost and compare it to potential energy...conference paper 2022

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The building sector can contribute considerably to reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the Netherlands, the GHG emissions must be mitigated by 95% by 2050 relative to the 1990 baseline. Various factors, such as low renovation rates cause uncertainties in reaching these targets. The current study aims for investigating the barriers...conference paper 2022
