Lubbers, Friso (author)The Dutch government has the ambition to be climate neutral by 2050. An important pillar to realizing this ambition is to place large numbers of wind turbines in the North Sea. The Dutch cabinet decided in 2022 to realize around 21 GW offshore wind capacity in 2030, but the offshore wind demand in the Netherlands after 2030 remains uncertain....master thesis 2023

Hilman Dwi Putra, Hilman (author)The Indonesian government has announced a national strategy to achieve net-zero emissions through energy transition and justice. However, there are no extensive studies that assess the impact of this strategy and the growing demand in the Kalimantan power system. Therefore, this thesis project aims to conduct a techno-economic and energy justice...master thesis 2022

van Wageningen, Noortje (author)his thesis aims to investigate the change in frequency performance of the Nordic Power System in 2030 caused by the replacement of synchronous generation by NSG. To do this, the Nordic Power System is modeled in the simulation software DIgSILENT PowerFactory 2022 SP1 for modeling and simulation. For the Nordic Power system, periods of low demand...master thesis 2022

Treurniet, Wiljo (author)To achieve the goals on greenhouse gas emissions, the energy supply and demand is in transition. Distribution power grids therefore are increasingly reaching their capacity limits due to electrification and the vast increase of distributed energy resource (DER) connection requests with large peak power output. Increasing physical grid capacity...master thesis 2022
