Wang, Te (author), Li, Zongkun (author), Ge, W. (author), zhang, Z.H. (author), Zhang, Yadong (author), Sun, Heqiang (author), Jiao, Yutie (author)Compared with a single reservoir, the risk in cascade reservoirs has the transmission and superposition effect, which increases the complexity of its risk consequence assessment. In view of this problem, the direct consequence (DC) and potential consequence (PC) were defined as two parts of the dam breach risk consequence of cascade reservoirs....journal article 2023

Ovaere, Marten (author), Kenis, Michiel (author), Van den Bergh, Kenneth (author), Bruninx, K. (author), Delarue, Erik (author)Since 2015 available cross-border transmission capacity is determined using flow-based market coupling (FBMC) in the day-ahead electricity markets of Central Western Europe. This paper empirically estimates the effect of introducing FBMC on day-ahead electricity price convergence and cross-border exchange volumes. In the month following the...journal article 2023

Yang, Zhe (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Zhang, Qi (author), Chen, Zhe (author), de Jesus Chavez, Jose (author), Popov, M. (author)The traditional fault control strategy of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources (CIRESs) may bring about a lower sensitivity level or misoperation of fault component-based directional elements. To overcome this problem, a new control scheme is proposed to adjust sequence impedance angles of CIRESs by computing suitable current...journal article 2023

Amoozandeh, A. (author), Herder, J.L. (author), Radaelli, G. (author)Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) can serve as subsystems for a variety of machineries and robotic systems. A compliant CVT mechanism based on the warping of twisting beams is presented here. The design works based on the demonstrated fact that the twist on one side of a beam can be transferred via sectional warping and propagate...journal article 2023

Deijkers, Emma (author)COVID-19 has had a great impact worldwide. One of its many effects was that offices had to be closed, which negatively affects the economy and people’s mental health. It is important that a safe way to keep offices open is found. Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) are an important way to do this. However, to pick the right NPIs for one’s...master thesis 2022

Wang, Te (author), Li, Zongkun (author), Ge, W. (author), Zhang, Yadong (author), Jiao, Yutie (author), Sun, Heqiang (author), Zhang, Hua (author)Because of the risk transmission and superposition among dams in cascade reservoirs, the analysis and probability calculation of dam risk become more complex compared with a single reservoir. By analyzing the main risk sources and actionmechanisms, the disaster-causing factors, disaster-transmitting body and disaster-bearing body in the cascade...journal article 2022

Slits, Wouter (author)To match supply from intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) with demand, it is proposed in literature to introduce flexibility in the electricity market of the future. Flexibility can be provided by energy storage, demand response and cross-border transmission. In this thesis flexibility is modeled explicitly through the price mechanism of...master thesis 2022
