The need to reduce carbon emissions calls for more use of renewable generation, particularly distributed resources. The intermittency of renewable generation, and concerns about energy security, require us to become more independent of central grid operation by use of local or regional (micro-grid) electricity …

Tijdens de jaarlijkse Gaia gebruikersmiddag, georganiseerd door Phase to Phase, presenteerde Lech Bialek het Flexigrow project. Hierbij werd de doelstelling, methode, voorlopige resultaten en ook de aanbevelingen voor de toekomst besproken

Projectpresentatie gegeven n.a.v. een uitnodiging vanuit Equiulibrium, een studievereniging. Msc. G. Hofstede verteld over wat je als onderzoeker in huis moet hebben en over het project BioPower2Gas, welke is genomineerd voor een RAAK-award 2018.

Lech Bialek van Hanzehogeschool Groningen presenteerde begin september aan Netbeheer Nederland. Het doel hiervan was om te informeren over het Flexigrow Project en de voorlopige resultaten hiervan en aanbevelingen die hij op basis hiervan kon doen aan het Netbeheer.

A few years ago the Dutch government set goals for sustainability. These goals include switching to fully sustainable energy production by 2050. Using only conventional sustainable energy production methods like solar panels and wind turbines will not result in achieving the set goals, so alternative …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. Such a hybrid energy network could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational flexibility. Nowadays, the expectations on Natural Gas …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of the independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. In addition to an increase in exergy efficiency, such a Hybrid Energy Network (HEN) could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational …

Excess of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar panels is used for electrolysis of water. To store this renewable energy as methane, the hydrogen is fed to an anaerobic digester to stimulate biological methanation by hydrogenotrophic methanogens. This workpackage focusses on the best ways …

Power to methane provides a solution to a couple of two problems: unbalanced production and demand of wind plus solar power electricity and the low methane content of biogas by storing electricity via hydrogen into methane gas using carbon dioxide from biogas and methanogenic bacteria. The four-year …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy mix of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires energy systems for storing electricity. Storage of electricity as methane from (bio)hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is considered an interesting option. The surplus …
