A simple method for sizing and estimating the performance of PV systems in trolleybus grids

Solar PV systems have so far been the source of choice for the sustainable supply of urban electric transport networks—like trams and trolleybus grids. However, no consensus exists yet on the placement or sizing of PV systems at the traction substations, and no method is available for easy estimation of the PV system utilization performance....

A Complete DC Trolleybus Grid Model With Bilateral Connections, Feeder Cables, and Bus Auxiliaries

This paper offers a complete and verified model of DC trolleybus grids and examines the effect of the common modelling assumptions made in literature by using simulations, as well as bus and substation measurements from the grid of Arnhem, the Netherlands. An equivalent model for the overhead line impedance is offered taking into account the...

Dutch public EV charging infrastructure design: a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

Public charging infrastructure serves as essential support in facilitating the sustainable use of EVs. The growing demand for EVs brings new challenges around designing and operating the corresponding public infrastructure for the CPO. The form this infrastructure will take is uncertain due to the wide range of charging technologies available ...

A powerful transport tariff structure

The transport tariff structure determines the charges to users of the electricity grids. This allocation can give various incentives. It is unclear whether the charges set by the current transport tariff structure reflect the targets set by the government. Furthermore, increased decentralized generation is a likely future scenario. It is unknown...

Building the MisterGreen brand

The following is the graduation report of a master thesis for MisterGreen. It includes both internal and external analyses which have led to the proposal of a strategy. This strategy, in turn, has led to the development a brand strategy. The brand strategy has been interpreted by means of the realization of a design cue; a film. This film is the...

The contribution of gaming simulation to market model design: A gaming simulation case study to the preferred market model for the charging infrastructure for electric transport in the Netherlands

The charging of electric vehicles is a new market that is emerging, partially from existing markets. The emergence of such new markets requires the definition of new roles and responsibilities. Such a ‘market model’ describes the market roles (e.g. owner, operator etc) in terms of responsibilities and interactions between roles (processes)....
