Walraven, E.M.P. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)Renewable energy sources introduce uncertainty regarding generated power in smart grids. For instance, power that is generated by wind turbines is time-varying and dependent on the weather. Electric vehicles will become increasingly important in the development of smart grids with a high penetration of renewables, because their flexibility makes...conference paper 2016

Mlecnik, E. (author)The volume uptake of highly energy-efficient buildings is challenged by transformations in the energy system and the introduction of demand response strategies. In the near future buildings will be able to manage their demand and generation according to local climate conditions, user needs and variable energy prices. As buildings become...conference paper 2016

Höning, N.F. (author)In contemporary societies, industrial processes as well as domestic activities rely to a large degree on a well-functioning electricity system. This reliance exists both structurally (the system should always be available) and economically (the prices for electricity affect the costs of operating a business and the costs of living). After many...doctoral thesis 2016

Koliou, E. (author)With the grasp of a smart grid in sight, discussions have shifted the focus of system security measures away from generation capacity; apart from modifying the supply side, demand may also be exploited to keep the system in balance. Specifically, Demand Response (DR) is the concept of consumer load modification as a result of price signaling,...doctoral thesis 2016

Walraven, E.M.P. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles raises important challenges related to the operation of electricity grids. For instance, the amount of power generated by wind turbines is time-varying and dependent on the weather, which makes it hard to match flexible electric vehicle demand and uncertain wind power...conference paper 2016

Koirala, B.P. (author), Chaves Avila, J.P. (author), Gomez, T. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are emerging as a modern development to re-organize local energy systems allowing simultaneous integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and engagement of local communities. Although local energy initiatives, such as ICESs are rapidly emerging due to community objectives, such as cost and...journal article 2016

de Reuver, G.A. (author), van der Lei, T.E. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Grid operators increasingly have to collaborate with other actors in order to realize smart grid innovations. For routine maintenance, grid operators typically acquire technologies in one-off transactions, but the innovative nature of smart grid projects may require more collaborate relationships. This paper studies how a transactional versus...journal article 2016

Fuchs, P.S. (author), Lele, A. (author), Venkatesha-Prasad, R.R. (author)The Indian Energy grid is growing rapidly and there is a large simulation to improve not only the grid reliability, but also provide power for all by 2027. To this aim the Government of India has launched the Restructured Accelerated Power Development Program (RAPDRP). In India, residential loads contribute to about 27% of the total power...conference paper 2015

Wagter, L.N. (author)This thesis examines the process of smart grid development in order to optimise the resident involvement in this process. It is a case study of the project Nieuwveense Landen in Meppel with inspirational influences from other smart grid projects. Smart grid housing is the concept of locally obtaining and using energy. Energy exchange within the...master thesis 2015

Aarsen, R. (author), Janssen, M. (author), Ramkisoen, M. (author), Biljecki, F. (author), Quak, W. (author), Verbree, E. (author)In case of a calamity in the Netherlands - e.g. a dike breach - parts of the nationwide electric network can fall out. In these occasions it would be useful if decentralised energy sources of the Smart Grid would contribute to balance out the fluctuations of the energy network. Decentralised energy sources include: solar energy, wind energy,...conference paper 2015

Roller, R. (author), Roes, J. (author), Verbree, E. (author)Floodings represent a permanent risk to the Netherlands in general and to her power supply in particular. Data sharing is essential within this crisis scenario as a power cut affects a great variety of interdependant sectors. Currently used data sharing systems have been shown to hamper interoperability between stakeholders since they lack...conference paper 2015

Walraven, E.M.P. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)In many planning domains external factors are hard to model using a compact Markovian state. However, long-term dependencies between consecutive states of an environment might exist, which can be exploited during planning. In this paper we propose a scenario representation which enables agents to reason about sequences of future states. We show...conference paper 2015
