We find ourselves at a crossroads; without immediate and deep emissions reductions, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be impossible. For the Netherlands to achieve its climate targets, Dutch municipalities have been delegated the crucial task of the heat transition. Prior research reveals that the Dutch energy transition and...

The heating and cooling sector is one of the biggest sectors at this moment due to drastic fluctuations in climate parameters. Even though this sector helps in making sure everyone gets comfortable temperatures at the home, office, etc., there are environmental consequences attached to them. These consequences are in terms of emissions of...

In response to climate change, the marine sector is increasingly focused on the energy transition. New marine power plants operating more efficiently and on cleaner fuels are receiving significantly more attention. While the transition to different power plants and fuels results in reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions, waste heat...

The Nuclear Research and consultancy Group (NRG) performs CFD simulations to improve the safety of nuclear installations and conducts research leading to new computational methods. One of the problems encountered in nuclear installations is that vital parts of the reactor, such as the fuel rod bundle, corrode over time. Corrosion leads to...

Geothermal energy in the Netherlands is growing in general, however, medium deep geothermal (200 - 1500 m depth) is lagging behind while the potential at these depths could be very high. Development is held back by little geologic knowledge of this interval as well as legislative constraints. Better understanding of the reservoir characteristics...

This thesis sets out to support decision-making processes throughout the Dutch urban heat transition. Over the last few years, calls from both academic literature and practise have emerged stating that participation throughout these processes is of utmost importance. Not only to gain acceptance for implementation plans in the making, but also to...

Emerging economies produce 70-90% of the world’s steel, cement, and chemicals, which are essential for development. However, performance indicators such as carbon intensity and energy use per GDP reveal that industrial development trends in emerging economies are not sustainable. The ideal of industrial development that sustains and improves...

With variable renewable energy on the rise, large-scale energy storage is needed to assure grid stability. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a new player in the large-scale energy storage landscape, but might prove a cheap, safe and reliable option, with low permitting barriers. TES is not geographically limited, generally compact and has a low...

In an attempt to find alternatives for solving partial differential equations (PDEs)<br/>with traditional numerical methods, a new field has emerged which incorporates<br/>the residual of a PDE into the loss function of an Artificial Neural Network. This<br/>method is called Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN). In this thesis, we study dense...

European and Dutch environmental goals prescribe that national emitted CO2 levels need to be reduced. Therefore, the Dutch government chose to transition the whole Dutch residential sector to gas-free living by 2050, to decrease CO2 levels. Homeowners are responsible themselves for adopting a sustainable heating system, where specifically heat...

Coffee farmers and producers in Kerala (India) face a serious obstacle in their pursuit of a self-sustaining coffee processing technology and fuel deficiency. Research indicates that coffee, as one of the largest industries, generates a huge amount of waste, namely Spent Coffee Grounds (SCGs). This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and...

The need for more efficient aircraft has spawned the conception of a variety of novel engine and aircraft architectures, such as the combined-cycle engine proposed by researchers at Delft University of Technology. To evaluate the potential benefits of these concepts comprehensively, in-depth performance simulations are required. Furthermore,...

The aviation industry is responsible for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, emitting over one billion tonnes of CO2 in 2018 (Ritchie, 2020). The International Air Transport Association (IATA) committed to net-zero aviation by 2050 (International Air Transport Association, 2022). The first steps toward net-zero aviation can be taken in the ground...

High operating temperatures harm photovoltaic (PV) modules. The increase in temperature of the cells leads to lower open circuit voltage and higher short circuit current ultimately leading to a lower power output due to a negative thermal coefficient. Hence, lowering the temperature of commercial crystalline silicon modules during their...

District heating systems (DHSs) have the potential to play a big part in the energy transition. The efficient operation of DHSs is therefore also an important subject of study. The operation of DHSs where combined heat and power (CHP) plants are used are particularly interesting, because CHPs can operate with high efficiency.<br/><br/>In this...

Laser-assisted automated fiber placement (LAFP) is a promising additive manufacturing technique for the production of large aerospace components. Thermoplastic prepreg tapes will be placed ply-by-ply on top of a mould and in-situ consolidated. This is beneficial for higher production rates. The mechanical performance of thermoplastic composite...

Energy demand for heating and cooling makes up 73\% of total energy use of buildings [2]. This figure is expected to increase over the coming decades, as demand for cooling energy may rise in the Netherlands due to climate change. The heating and cooling of buildings are at relatively low temperature compared to the industry and thus allowing...

As the environment is changing temperatures are changing, becoming more extreme. This is expected to affect the oceans and its transport, specifically the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The Labrador Sea is a part of the AMOC, where overturning in depth and density space occurs, due to deep convection. Deep convection is the...

By placing multiple Peltier elements in a linear arrangement while two water flows run past the elements, a temperature increase can be realised in one flow while the other flow is cooled down. In this study the heating of domestic hot water with Peltier elements as solid state heat pumps, and a heating network was investigated. A numerical...
