The Netherlands is aiming for the roll-out of more solar PV. However like many densely populated countries, the country is running into issues of lack of space. Opportunities around infrastructural works like highways provide space without compromising the landscape. Examples of this double use are already …

Battery storage systems become increasingly more important to fulfil large demands in peaks of energy consumption due to the increasing supply of intermittent renewable energy. The vanadium redox flow battery systems are attracting attention because of scalability and robustness of these systems make …

The aim of this research was to find out in how far the Netherlands could learn from Sweden regarding the use of manure, in order to create awareness within the equine sector on sustainable solutions. The number of horses in Europe exceeds 5 million and keeps increasing, therefore contributes to greenhouse …

There is currently a major challenge in the Netherlands: offices larger than 100 square metres must all meet energy label C by 2023, and energy label A by 2050. Approximately 56% of offices in the Netherlands do not currently meet the energy label requirements, so there is still much to be gained in …

tract Micro wind turbines can be structurally integrated on top of the solid base of noise barriers near highways. A number of performance factors were assessed with holistic experiments in wind tunnel and in the field. The wind turbines underperformed when exposed in yawed flow conditions. The theoretical …

The methodology should be a uniform approach that also is flexible enough to accommodate all combinations that make up the different solutions in 6 OPs. For KPIs A and B this required the use of sub-KPIs to differentiate the effects of each (individual and combination of) implemented solutions and prevent …

The Nieuw Statendam is equipped with a program called ENIRAM. This program calculates the optimal engine configuration and load expressed in revolutions per minute of the propellers. The issue with this program is that it only looks at the main power plants and does not take the waste heat recovery system …

This study tested the hypothesis that in human aging, a decreased intramuscular acylcarnitine status is associated with (pre-)frailty, reduced physical performance, and altered mitochondrial function. We used a cross-sectional study design with well-matched fit and (pre-)frail old males and females, …

We tested the hypothesis that in human ageing a decreased intramuscular acylcarnitine status is associated with (pre-)frailty, reduced physical performance and altered mitochondrial function. Results showed that intramuscular total carnitine levels and acetylcarnitine levels were lower in (pre-)frail …

This study evaluated the performance of anaerobic co-digestion of cow manure (CM) and sheep manure (SM) in both batch and continuous digesters at 37 °C. Synergistic effects of co-digesting CM and SM at varying volatile solids (VS) ratios (1:0, 0:1, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3) were observed in the batch experiment, …
