CardioSync: Heartbeat-Based BLE Synchronization for Batteryless IoT Devices

Batteryless Internet of Things (IoT) devices powered by energy harvesting enable sustainable and maintenance-free operation, but face challenges in achieving synchronised bidirectional communication between intermittently-powered nodes. This thesis presents CardioSync, a novel framework that leverages the human heartbeat as a shared clock to...

The feasibility of the energy-only market in a highly renewable European power system

The Netherlands policy on electricity steers towards a carbon neutral power generation in 2050. Among<br/>the studies that focus on long term power system research, none use the starting point of a 100%<br/>renewable power system in 2050. It is unknown if such a system is technically feasible given the<br/>variability of wind and solar. The...

Modeling the interplay between storage and flexibility in power systems

The need for a more resource-efficient and low-carbon electricity sector has boosted the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in power systems, especially of wind and solar energy. However, their intermittent output hinders the match of electricity demand and supply which is required for the smooth operation of the electricity grid....
