Effects of Power and Heating Sector Integration for the Future Dutch High-Voltage Electricity Grid: Development of a Representative Model of the Dutch High-Voltage Electricity Grid

We are on the verge of a global energy system revolution. By signing and ratifying global treaties, the groundwork for this revolution is laid. The objective is to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference...

Optimal design of multi-energy systems with high shares of renewable energy sources: A linear-programming approach for integrating electricity, heating, and hydrogen sectors in multi-energy systems

The large-scale integration of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) brings about challenges related to the stochastic characteristics in supply. In this light, a recent and promising approach which has received increasing attention is that of multi-energy systems (MES). A MES is defined as an energy system whereby different energy sectors...

A Technology Adoption Model in the Dutch Energy sector: The case of Digital Twins

Emerging technologies are revolutionizing organizational growth, productivity and in- vestments more than ever before. One such technology that has come into the limelight in the past few years is the Digital Twin. The so-called ’digital twin’ is a real-time virtual replica (representation) of any given physical asset/object. The full-potential...

A Systems Design Approach to Sustainable Development: Embracing the Complexity of Energy Challenges in Low-income Markets

The societal and technical problems faced by low-income markets are increasingly seen as more complex due to environmental, social, and economic concerns. The enormous negative impacts of complex societal problems and the inability of designers to deal with complexity cannot be overcome without a paradigm shift in how we understand, engage with,...

Integration of Power-to-Gas Conversion into Dutch Electrical Ancillary Services Markets

This paper investigates the viability of the integration of demand side response of large scale electrolyser facilities into electrical ancillary services markets. A review of the current structure and mechanisms of balancing markets, voltage control and congestion management in the Netherlands is presented, taking into consideration future...

A comprehensive approach to reviewing latent topics addressed by literature across multiple disciplines

This paper proposes an approach to capturing and reviewing scientific literature addressing latent topics across multiple scientific fields. As latent topics like moral values are affected by word polysemy and synonymy, a traditional keyword-based approach is often ineffective and therefore inappropriate. As a result, scientific literature...

Policy recommendations to improve data quality in the electricity chain

Data quality is essential in the modern world. The higher the quality of the data, the more information, knowledge and thereby wisdom can be retrieved. Besides better wisdom high quality data has another advantage: it can save costs since errors can be avoided. Low quality data is costing a lot of money to companies and will lead to information...

Product-Service System Design Approach for the Base of the Pyramid Markets: Practical Evidence from the Energy Sector in the Brazilian Context

In Emerging Markets, the product-service system (PSS) design approach may represent a promising solution as a socially and environmentally sound path to economic development. In addition, the energy sector has a major role for the social-economic development and is central to poverty alleviation. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the...
