Yuan, Yiping (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Chen, Zhe (author), Hoej Jensen, Kim (author), Popov, M. (author)With the increasing penetration of converter-interfaced generators, the frequency containment reserve (FCR) from conventional generators keeps going down, leading to a potential risk of frequency instability under contingencies. Consequently, Converter-interfaced generators are required to provide FCR and participate in the corrective...journal article 2023

Damianakis, N. (author), Yu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Smart-Charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is able to provide frequency regulation capacity services to the System Operator (SO) upon an automation generation control (AGC) signal. While the amount of available regulation capacity is of-fered in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM), there is high uncertainty on the actual amount of reserves that will be...conference paper 2023

Theodoridis, Nander (author)With increasing urbanization and a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, new forms of urban mobility are studied worldwide. An interesting transportation method is ridesharing, where people can share parts of their rides with other passengers travelling in a similar direction in the same car. To im- prove the attraction of ridesharing systems...master thesis 2022

van Nobelen, Bart (author)The climate change is evident and a big contributor to the negative effects of the climate change is the energy production sector. Therefore, the energy production must shift towards a more environment friendly mix. Changing our energy sources to mostly renewable energy sources comes with many challenges. <br/>The way the current Dutch...master thesis 2022

Wang, Xiao Lin (author), Zhong, Yuanguang (author), Li, L. (author), Xie, Wei (author), Ye, Zhi Sheng (author)Problem definition: Warranty reserves are funds used to fulfill future warranty obligations for a product. In this paper, we investigate the warranty reserve planning problem faced by a manufacturing firm who manages warranties for multiple products. Academic/practical relevance: It is nontrivial to determine a proper amount of reserves to...journal article 2022

Monteil, Jean-Baptiste (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), DaSilva, Luiz (author)Emerging network slicing markets promise to boost the utilization of expensive network resources and to unleash the potential of over-the-top services. Their success, however, is conditioned on the service providers (SPs) being able to bid effectively for the virtualized resources. In this paper we consider a hybrid advance-reservation and spot...conference paper 2021

Lane, N.R. (author), van der Linden, J.G.M. (author), Morales-Espania, German (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)The power system is undergoing a significant change as it adapts to the intermittency and uncertainty from renewable generation. Flexibility from loads such as electric vehicles (EVs) can serve as reserves to sustain the supply-demand balance in the grid. Some reserve markets have rules for participation that are computationally challenging...journal article 2021

van der Kruk, E. (author), Silverman, Anne K. (author), Reilly, Peter (author), Bull, Anthony M.J. (author)Capacity is the physiological ability of the neuromusculoskeletal systems; this declines with age. This decline in capacity may result in the inability to stand up (sit-to-stand, sit-to-walk), which is an important movement for independent living. Compensation, as a result of functional redundancy, is key in understanding how much age-related...review 2021

Parlangeli, Luca (author)Within the main geographical contexts of the North Sea and the Scheldt estuary, the Doelpolder area stands out for the conflictual relationships between human settlements, environmental crisis, and man-made infrastructures, which are all paradigms of the so-called Anthropocene era. The site comprises the village of Doel, the natural reserve of...master thesis 2020

Dijkhuizen, Suzanne (author)With the arrival of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) concepts for traffic control systems emerge that let CAVs weave over the crossing area of an intersection. However, in the current literature, the safety of these vehicles is generally an assumption rather than a certainty. Moreover, the time period where CAVs and Human-Driven Vehicles ...master thesis 2020

Hoseini, E. (author), Van Veen, Pim (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Current literature shows that poor cost performance in projects has become routine. Research on cost performance has mostly focused on one of the involved parties, either the client or the contractor. Not many research efforts discuss the cost contingency performance of projects. This research discusses the cost performance and cost...journal article 2020

Mianabadi, Ameneh (author), Derakhshan, Hashem (author), Davary, Kamran (author), Hasheminia, Seyed Majid (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author)Due to the effects of global climate change on duration, frequency and number of drought events, the occurrence of prolonged droughts, referred to as “megadroughts” (lasting for two decades or longer) will become more probable in the future. Thus, it is crucial for countries especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world to develop...journal article 2020

Salinas Rodriquez, Sergio (author)Environmental flows (e-flows) science has significantly advanced in the last decades. In Mexico, a standard for e-flow assessments was recently published as a regulatory instrument to support water planning and management. However, the appropriateness of the technical procedure in a climate change context has not been investigated. Do the e...doctoral thesis 2019

Mitta, Sreekar Reddy (author)Nowadays renewable energy sources (RES) are growing at a rapid pace, particularly the wind energy. The high amount of wind power penetration into the power grids poses a major challenge to Transmission System Operators (TSO) in terms of the operational management, as wind power is highly uncertain. The highly uncertain nature of the wind power...master thesis 2018
