- Wat is er aan de hand met ons energiesysteem?Hoge prijzen, lege gasbuffers, netcongestie… Het lijkt wel of er de laatste tijd iets goed mis is met ons energiesysteem. Maar wat is er nu eigenlijk aan de hand? Nederland is in een transitie van fossiele brandstoffen naar duurzame energie. We zijn enthousiast …

Salderen van zonnestroom gaat verdwijnen. Vrijwel alle partijen hadden de beëindiging van saldering opgenomen in hun verkiezingsprogramma. Daarmee komt de business case voor thuisaccu’s van zo’n 10 kWh in zicht, stelt Martien Visser.

Binnenkort kunt u weer kiezen voor langlopende energiecontracten met vaste prijzen. Aan de andere kant van het spectrum zijn er de dynamische energiecontracten met prijzen die elke dag en zelf elk uur variëren. Wat gaat u kiezen? Natuurlijk komen er ook andere opties. Voor de eenvoud beperkt Martien …

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 …

The emission of greenhouse gasses is a trending subject worldwide. Also the maritime industry is looking for alternative options for zero-emission transport. Nedstack provides fuel cells as a solution for this challenge. This research is a first glance at the possibilities to create a feasible retrofit …

The majority of Dutch peatlands are drained and used intensively as grasslands for dairy farming. This delivers high productivity but causes severe damage to the provisioning of ecosystem services. Peatland rewetting is the best way to reverse the damage, but high water levels do not fit with intensive …

Plastic is one of the biggest contributors to pollution of the planet. Due to the low recyclability of oil-based plastics, most plastic is being disposed into the environment. According to plastic oceans, 10 million tons of plastic are dumped into oceans annually. Currently, researchers are developing …

Terwijl we inmiddels bij elektriciteit en gas met centrale planning werken, wil de minister de benodigde investeringen in de waterstofinfra juist aan de markt overlaten. Martien Visser waarschuwt voor onbalans in het energiesysteem.

The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) sector is responsible for a large part of the total worldwide energy consumption, a significant part of which is caused by incorrect operation of controls and maintenance. HVAC systems are becoming increasingly complex, especially due to multi-commodity …

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …
