Philippo, Thijs (author)Solar and wind will displace fossil fuels as the main source of energy in a net-zero world. However, renewable energy sources provide intermittent power, hence an energy carrier that enables the balancing of demand and supply is needed. Here green hydrogen comes in place. <br/>In addition, the demand for green hydrogen is expected to rise in the...master thesis 2023

Marchand, J. (author), Perilla Guerra, A.D. (author), Garapati, M. (author), Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (author), Rueda, José L. (author)Distantly-located offshore energy hubs need to be connected to the shore via High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links to allow for an efficient bulk power exchange. A bipolar configuration of the HVDC link is suitable for a point-to-point connection, as it provides redundancy, and, therefore, a larger reliability, e.g. half of the rated transfer...conference paper 2023

Menon, Akash (author)During dynamic positioning operations, vessels typically run with an extra generator (spinning reserve) for redundancy purposes such that no single fault will cause the vessel to lose its position or heading. As a result, all other engines on the grid share the load equally to ensure that if a failure were to occur, the remaining healthy...master thesis 2019

Vonsée, Daan (author)Due to the intermittent character of renewable electricity sources and increasing decentralized electricity production, grid operators are facing challenges in balancing electricity- demand and supply within grid operations. These characteristics make it challenging for operators to forecast in- and outflowing electricity in the grid. This often...master thesis 2018

Hijgenaar, Sjors (author)The widespread introduction of (hybrid) electric vehicles has caused dynamic, local energy demand peaks. While, decentral energy generation, often using sustainable methods, creates local over-supply. Following the trends of the previous decade, the central balancing party (TenneT) will soon be no longer able to keep up. Blockchain offers an...master thesis 2017
