Gangoli Rao, A. (author), Yin, F. (author)Aviation is the backbone of our modern society. At present, around 4.5 Billion passengers travel through the air every year and aviation is responsible for around 5 % of anthropogenic causes of Global Warming (Lee et al, 2009). With the increase in global GDP, the number of travellers is expected to increase to 7.5 Billion by 2037 and to around...abstract 2020

Faragau, Andrei B. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)Transition radiation is emitted when a source moves along a straight line with constant velocity and acts on or near an inhomogeneous medium [1,2]. Transition radiation occurs, for example, when a train crosses an inhomogeneity in the railway track, such as a transition in foundation stiffness. As the velocity of the trains becomes closer to the...abstract 2018

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We simulate climate and energy policy for the EU using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach, we named Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The agent-based model focuses on investment in power generation and studies long run effects of various interacting European energy policies, and incorporates differences between countries....abstract 2020

Feenstra, M.H. (author), Creusen, A. (author)Citizens’ participation in the energy transition seems mostly available for households with disposable incomes to invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and retrofitting. Those who cannot afford the upfront costs might not benefit from the policy interventions, like tax benefits and subsidies. The energy crisis made energy poverty...abstract 2023

de Wolff, Evelien (author), van Zonneveld, Mees (author)The aim of this report is to discuss the design of the software that creates a simulation for the national electricity grid level of the Netherlands. This is done by further developing the open-source energy system integration development kit called the Illuminator. Where the goal of this software is to create an extra case, add a Graphical User...bachelor thesis 2023

Amato, Joshua (author)In the transition towards climate neutrality by 2050 green hydrogen can contribute as a clean and widely applicable energy vector. However, domestic production by electrolysis in the Netherlands will not be able to produce enough hydrogen for the estimated demand. Import of hydrogen will thus be crucial. The Port of Rotterdam (PoR) will play a...bachelor thesis 2022

van der Jagt, Thomas (author)A variation on the random Kuramoto model was analyzed, a mean-field model which describes the behavior of coupled oscillators in a random environment. The analytic results are based on the behavior of the system in the infinite volume limit. In the analysis critical values were found for the parameters in the model which can be used to determine...bachelor thesis 2017

van Diepen, Mischa (author)The present thesis discusses two modelling endeavours that serve to provide insights into both the magnetic and structural dynamics associated with a first order magnetic phase transition. <br/>Firstly, density functional theory has been used to model the lithiation of a supercell of 2x2x2 the conventional unit cell of the ferromagnet Fe2P....bachelor thesis 2019

van der Niet, Sjoerd (author)The Curie-Weiss model is a simplification of the Ising model to show the existence of a phase transition for ferromagnetism. In this thesis, we study the behaviour of sums of these dependent variables. We prove in general that under the appropriate assumptions, we can still conclude a version of the Law of Large Numbers. We also find that if...bachelor thesis 2022

de Groot, J.J.A.M. (author)This thesis gives a thorough description of the mathematical tool called reflection positivity, which can be used to prove the occurrence of phase transitions in physical models. A major result, although already known, is a theorem that gives tractable conditions on the Hamiltonian such that the Boltzmann functional is reflection positive. In...bachelor thesis 2020

Akaouche, Anass (author), Hameed, muasser (author)This report presents an energy transition model that emphasizes the importance of prioritizing innovation. It demonstrates the potential energy savings achievable through the installation of insulation layers. Additionally, it explores the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and its influence on energy consumption within the...bachelor thesis 2023

Beyond the urgency of rethinking XX-century urbanization characterized by endless structural expansion strategy, we need to engage urban systems by means of emerging concepts of adaptability and systemic transitions due to climate change effects. Emission reduction and spatial compactness, reuse and recycle, flexibility and complex balances have...book 2022

Hellinga, C. (author), van Wijk, A.J.M. (author)For the transition of the built environment towards carbon neutrality, heating with green hydrogen can obtain a key role, especially in countries with a well developed natural gas infrastructure, like the Netherlands. Leading studies show that the existing transport and distribution gas network can be transformed for hydrogen transport at...book 2021

The COVID19 pandemic has exposed several systemic failures and injustices in the way cities are planned and designed around the world. It has also exposed the failings due to lack of planning in most places in the Global South. Careful, inclusive and participatory spatial planning is thought to greatly strengthen the capacity of societies to...book 2021

Kwon, M. (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)Local authorities (LAs) play an essential role in diffusing home energy renovation measures. However, there are rare business models developed for local authority actions. This paper aims to develop a critical review of the way that local authorities developed business models for pop-up centres where consultants can encourage home energy...book chapter 2022
