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 …

Throughout society, dialogues about Artificial Intelligence (AI) are dominated by a range of technophobic or techno-solutionist narratives. Both these narratives share a technological focus. To develop responsible AI, however, it is important to look at the systemic ecological and societal underpinnings …

City governments increasingly experiment with civic participation in the procurement and the realization of smart city technologies in order to improve the incorporation of human values. In this paper, a model is proposed with the level of participation, the continuity of participation and the extent …

Mediawijsheid staat niet op zichzelf, er is sprake van een generatiekloof. Dat stelt Bart Wernaart, lector Moral Design Strategy bij Fontys Hogeschool Economie en Communicatie (FEC). “Ik heb een redelijk groot vertrouwen in het techno-morele kompas van onze studenten.”

Leipzig-based German media theorist Annekatherin Kohout has written a ‚cultural studies’ history of the nerd figure. Nerds, Eine Popkulturgeschichte was published in 2022 by C.H. Beck in Munich. I was drawn to this study as I’ve been surrounded by nerds, geeks and programmers that have been building …

Er is in Nederland een duidelijke tendens naar het plaatsen van zonne-energiesystemen in de gebouwde omgeving, in plaats van grote installaties in het landelijk gebied. Onderdeel van deze ambitie is het maximaal benutten van de gehele gebouwschil voor energie-opwekking. In dit project is gericht op transparante …

Omdat netcongestie en gelijktijdigheid van het energiesysteem steeds grotere uitdagingen worden naarmate de adoptie van zonne- en windenergie toeneemt, zien we in toenemende mate dat de duurzame energie opweksystemen niet tot hun volledige potentieel benut worden. Dat geldt voor wind- en zonneparken …
