Dynamic energy contracts, offering hourly varying day-ahead prices for electricity, create opportunities for a residential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to not just optimize the self-consumption of solar energy but also capitalize on price differences. This work examines the financial potential …

Electric vehicles have penetrated the Dutch market, which increases the potential for decreased local emissions, the use and storage of sustainable energy, and the roll-out and use of electric car-sharing business models. This development also raises new potential issues such as increased electricity …

In Europe, green hydrogen and biogas/green gas are considered important renewable energy carriers, besides renewable electricity and heat. Still, incentives proceed slowly, and the feasibility of local green gas is questioned. A supply chain of decentralised green hydrogen production from locally generated …

Here, we delve into Demand Forecasting via Machine Learning, dissecting how to predict future demand using time-sensitive data. Westveer highlights key forecasting models, from the basic Simple Exponential Smoothing to the advanced SARIMA, applied to an electricity production dataset. The session, encapsulating …

De belangrijkste les van de huidige crisis is volgens Martien Visser dat een vrije energiemarkt alleen tot maatschappelijk aanvaardbare resultaten leidt wanneer er ruim voldoende aanbod is, ook bij ernstige tegenslagen. “Hier ligt een essentiële taak voor de overheid. We kunnen immers niet van marktpartijen …

This research presents a case study exploring the potential for demand side flexibility at a cluster of university buildings. The study investigates the potential of a collection of various electrical devices, excluding heating and cooling systems. With increasing penetration of renewable electricity …

Decentralised renewable energy production in the form of fuels or electricity can have large scale deployment in future energy systems, but the feasibility needs to be assessed. The novelty of this paper is in the design and implementation of a mixed integer linear programming optimisation model to minimise …

There is an urgent need for energy renovation of the existing building stock, in order to reach the climate goals, set in Paris in 2016. To reach climate targets, it is important to considerably lower energy demand as well as switch to fossil-free heating systems. Unfortunately, renovation rates across …

PV systems are used more and more. Not always is it possible to install them in the optimal direction for maximum energy output over the year. At the Johan Cruijff ArenA the PV panels are placed all around the roof in all possible directions. Panels oriented to the north will have a lower energy gain …

The Johan Cruijff ArenA (JC ArenA) is a big events location in Amsterdam, where national and international football matches, concerts and music festivals take place for up to 68,000 visitors. The JC ArenA is already one of the most sustainable, multi-functional stadia in the world and is realizing even …
