Ouerghi, Ibrahim (author)The mimetic spectral element method is a relatively young method in numerical solutions of partial differential equations and actions that describe physical systems. Its advantage is that it takes the geometrical structure of the problem into account which guarantees consistency of the numerical scheme and the conservation of relevant quantities...master thesis 2023

Hoppe, T. (author), Coenen, Frans (author), Bekendam, Maria T. (author)Little is known about how renewable energy cooperatives (REScoops) try to influence energy conservation among households and the resulting impact. In this article the main research question is: What is the predictive value of renewable energy cooperatives on intention to save energy, engagement in energy-saving actions, and self-reported energy...journal article 2019

Coenen, Frans (author), Hoppe, T. (author)In recent years cooperatives for renewable energy supply (REScoops) have emerged as important new actors in energy markets. They provide their members (i.e., households) with renewably generated energy within a cooperative model that enables members to co-decide on its strategic and tactical goals, plans and business model. REScoops do not only...abstract 2018

Hugtenburg, Stefan (author)Wireless sensor networks are commonly used to remotely and automatically monitor environments.<br/>One of the main challenges in wireless sensor networks is to use the limited available energy as efficiently as possible, to ensure longevity of the network. For such networks to survive their intended deployment period no energy may be wasted on...master thesis 2017

Van 't Hof, J. (author)SCOPE: A disconnection between the production and consumption of energy use makes it difficult for people to engage with the technologies related to energy. This causes that users can only engage with technologies by consuming the functionalities related to them. This is what Borgmann has been defined as the ‘device paradigm’. The goal of this...master thesis 2016

Jensen, T. (author), Holtz, G. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Heating behavior of households is key for reducing domestic energy demand and mitigating climate change. Recently, various technical devices have been developed, providing households with feedback on their heating behavior and supporting energy conservation behavior. The impact of such devices on overall energy consumption depends on (1) the...journal article 2015

Van Dam, S.S. (author)The aim of the research presented in this thesis was to infer design-related insights and guidelines to improve the use and effectiveness of home energy management systems (HEMS). This was done through an empirical evaluation of the longitudinal effectiveness of these devices and an exploration of factors that influence their use and...doctoral thesis 2013

Zeng, Z. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author), Karabacak, D.M. (author)This paper presents an energy-efficient readout circuit for resonant sensors that operates based on a transient measurement method. The resonant sensor is driven at a frequency close to its resonance frequency by an excitation source that can be intermittently disconnected, causing the sensor to oscillate at its resonance frequency with...journal article 2013

Van Dam, S.S. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Van Hal, J.D.M. (author)Between 2008 and 2011, three different home energy management systems (HEMS)that give feedback on energy consumption were implemented in households in the Netherlands. Home energy management systems are defined as intermediary devices that can visualise, monitor and/or manage domestic gas and/or electricity consumption. Through a series of...conference paper 2012

Ebbert, T. (author)Europe's cities are full of office buildings which are technically and visually outdated. Research has demonstrated that more than 60% of German office stock is in acute need for refurbishment. Building planning needs intelligent approaches to façade refurbishment in order to tackle this enormous market. This article presents the head office...journal article 2012

Geelen, D. (author), Brezet, H. (author), Keyson, D. (author), Boess, S. (author)This paper presents a study about a serious game, Energy Battle, as a means to influence energy-related behavior in households. The Energy Battle is designed to engage home occupants in a fun way in energy conservation via a competition with other households. The challenge enabled home occupants to gain insight in their energy consumption...conference paper 2010

Papantoniou, L. (author)Climate change is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet. The warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level....master thesis 2009

Baalbergen, F. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Ferreira, J.A. (author)Diesel generators in small electricity grids are mostly not used in a very efficient way. The reason for this is twofold. First of all, the efficiency of a diesel generator is dependent on the ratio determined by the average power divided by the peak power of the generator. The smaller this ratio is, the lower the efficiency. Furthermore, some...journal article 2009

Piperno, S. (author)The Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain (DGTD) methods are now popular for the solution of wave propagation problems required for the accurate transient modeling of systems involving electromagnetic waves in many emerging technologies. While Yees explicit, energy-conserving FDTD method is still prominent but restructed to structured grids and...conference paper 2006
