Deep Statistical Solver for Distribution System State Estimation

Whereas in the past, Distribution Systems played a passive role in connecting customers to electricity, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) will have to take in the future a more active role in monitoring and regulating the network to deal with the new behaviors and dynamics of the system brought by the energy transition. State Estimation, a...

An improved approach for on-board distribution system robustness estimation in early-stage ship design

Distribution system robustness estimation is crucial in performing a substantiated trade-off in early-stage ship design. To improve the current robustness estimation, a maritime robustness approach (de Vos, 2018) is compared to and verified by a general network robustness approach (Van Mieghem, 2010). The first studied approach is verified by...

An analysis of the effect of regulation, investment uncer­tainty and actor network on the investment behaviour of Dutch distribution system operators

This thesis represents the culmination of six months of research into the investment behavior of Dutch DSO’s in the context of the energy transition. Through a combination of interviews, analyses of annual reports and a qualitative analyses based on principal-agent theory, I tried to find the effect of the actor network, regulatory regime and...
