Diab, I. (author), Eggermont, Rik (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The decarbonization of urban bus fleets can be made by their electrification as in-motion-charging (IMC) buses which can run as trolleybuses or in battery mode. The benefit is that IMC buses can use the existing trolleygrid infrastructure where their route overlaps with it to charge the battery and operate in battery mode outside of it....journal article 2023

Juncker, Jesse (author)The maritime sector plays an important role in energy transition because offshore vessels are used for building offshore renewables but also have high emissions. The European Union (EU) has determined that from 2025 the maritime sector must pay per ton of CO2 emission. Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) is an essential player in the maritime...master thesis 2022

RAMESH, ARAVIND RAMESH (author)Increasing emissions have led to the search for alternate power systems to provide energy for maritime applications. The recent drop in battery prices (over 200 % in the last ten years) has made battery energy storage one of the practical alternatives for fossil fuels to curb emissions and reduce the carbon footprint of the maritime sector. The...master thesis 2022

Suy, Xander (author)Urgent action is needed to decrease maritime emissions. The renewable wind energy sector must also decrease its life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Total GHG emissions from offshore wind turbines are approximately 120% more compared to onshore wind turbines. Moreover, it is estimated that Walk to Work (W2W) vessels are responsible for 3.3...master thesis 2022

Alders, Tim (author)Recent studies on various solid-state electrolytes showed that while improvements to the ionic conductivity are progressing swiftly, the understanding of the fundamental conduction mechanism is still lagging behind. We attempt to improve this understanding by providing a more complete overview of how different static (structural) and dynamic ...master thesis 2022

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Wireless charging must be highly efficient throughout the entire battery charging profile to compete in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Thus, optimum load matching is commonly used: it operates at the equivalent load that maximizes the efficiency, which depends on the coil's alignment. In this article, the optimum load is made independent...journal article 2022

Baldi, Francesco (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Kalikatzarakis, Miltiadis (author), Jeleňová, Diana (author), Collu, Maurizio (author), Race, Julia (author), Maréchal, François (author)A large deployment of energy storage solutions will be required by the stochastic and non-controllable nature of most renewable energy sources when planning for higher penetration of renewable electricity into the energy mix. Various solutions have been suggested for dealing with medium- and long-term energy storage. Hydrogen and ammonia are...journal article 2022

Corvaglia, Francesca (author)The growing global energy demand and correlated rise in carbon emissions is forcing us to increase the use of renewable sources. The residential sector represents a large part of the total energy consumption, and European governments are investing in distributed PV to increase the renewable share in this sector. However, on top of the solar...master thesis 2021

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Preventive maintenance is applied in distribution networks to prevent failures by performing maintenance actions on components that are at risk. Distributed generators (DGs) and batteries can be used to support power to nearby loads when they are isolated due to maintenance. In this paper, a novel short-term preventive maintenance method is...journal article 2021
