Pelka, S. (author), Kesselring, Anne (author), Preuß, Sabine (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Aligning prosumers' electricity consumption to the availability of self-generated electricity decreases CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and costs. Nudges are proposed as one behavioral intervention to orchestrate such changes. At the same time, fragmented findings in the literature make it challenging to identify suitable behavioral interventions...journal article 2024

Yap, M.D. (author), Wong, Howard (author), Cats, O. (author)Understanding how passengers perceive public transport interchanges is important to better explain current public transport mode and route choice behaviour and to better predict future demand levels. In this study we derive how passengers value a public transport interchange in a metropolitan context entirely based on recent, large-scale,...journal article 2024

Pelka, S. (author), Bosch, A. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Liesenhoff, F. (author), Kühnbach, M. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Electric vehicle (EV) users who aim to become flexibility providers face a tradeoff between staying in control of charging and minimizing their electricity costs. The common practice is to charge immediately after plugging in and use more electricity than necessary. Changing this can increase the EV’s flexibility potential and reduce...journal article 2024

Hermans, B.A.L.M. (author), Walker, S. (author), Ludlage, J.H.A. (author), Özkan, L. (author)The transition to renewable energy sources, particularly sources like wind and solar induces a dependency on weather in the supply side of electrical grids. At the same time, the move to electric mobility with uncontrolled charging induces extra peak loads on these grids. These developments can cause grid congestion or an imbalance between the...journal article 2024
