The world of electric mobility and charging infrastructure has accelerated in recent years: from a start-up to a mature market. During the last decade, researchers at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences have contributed to making the rollout and use of charging infrastructure smarter. By analysing …

Charging infrastructure deployment has taken off in many cities with the rise of the number of electric vehicles on the road. Expansion of infrastructure is a matter of prioritisation of resources to optimise the infrastructure. This paper explores how to measure charging station performance, to address …

This study focuses on the feasibility of electric aircraft operations between the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. It explores the technical characteristics of two different future electric aircraft types (i.e., Alice and ES-19) and compares their operational requirements with those …

Het samenwerkingsverband van a.s.r., Kropman, Hogeschool van Amsterdam en Venema E-mobility heeft een pilot DC Nanogrid ontworpen waarin de betrouwbaarheid en veiligheid gewaarborgd zijn. Speciale aandacht tijdens dit project is besteed aan zwerfstromen, kathodische bescherming en autonome aansturing …

Het veilig en autonoom regelend PV-laadplein met DC-distributie (VAP-DC) is een project waarin het ontwerpen, bouwen, testen en operationeel maken van een DC-netwerk (gelijkspanning) wordt aangetoond. Het systeem op het parkeerdek kan zonder AC (wisselspanning) opereren zoals het verzorgen van verlichting, …

The ever-increasing electrification of society has been a cause of utility grid issues in many regions around the world. With the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Netherlands, many new charge points (CPs) are required. A common installation practice of CPs is to group multiple CPs …

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 …

Underutilised charging stations can be a bottleneck in the swift transition to electric mobility. This study is the first to research cooperative behaviour at public charging stations as a way to address improved usage of public charging stations. It does so by viewing public charging stations as a common-pool …

This study used historical data from a Park & Ride facility in Amsterdam to build a validated computer (Python) model to optimize battery and grid connection sizing. The case study modelled is equipped with 8 EV chargers (16 connections), an on-site supplementary battery, and a limited capacity grid …
