Balancing of the heat and electricity network as it is done nowadays and relevant challenges that need to be faced in the future, with the increase in intermittent renewable energy sources that produce energy on decentralized scale levels.

This report presents the experimental and numerical work carried out by ECN and Hanze University of Applied Sciences on methane sorption on activated carbon, as part of their activities within the EDGaR Energy Storage project. Eleven different activated carbon types were tested. It was found that MaxSorb …

Undergraduate students who seek a bachelor degree in Dutch universities of applied sciences are supposed to learn also research skills so that they can provide innovative solutions to real problems of the society and businesses in their future careers. Current education and textbooks on research skills …

The increase in renewable energy sources will require an increase in the operational flexibility of the grid, due to the intermittent nature of these sources. This can be achieved for the gas and the electricity grid, which are integrated by means of power-to-gas and vice versa, by applying gas and other …

Onderzoeksbureaus als Van Teeffelen en Hobeon voorspelden de HBO-jurist een gouden toekomst bij onder meer advocatenkantoren, rechtbanken, verzekeringsmaatschappijen en banken, Wat is er misgegaan?

Methane storage in adsorbed form is a promising way to effectively and safely store fuel for vehicular transportation or for any other potential application. In a solid adsorbent, nanometer wide pores can trap methane by van der Waals forces as high density fluid at low pressure and room temperature. …

A growing number of older patients undergo cardiac surgery. Some of these patients are at increased risk of post-operative functional decline, potentially leading to reduced quality of life and autonomy, and other negative health outcomes. First step in prevention is to identify patients at risk of functional …

This report examines the possibilities of using a solar chimney in a highland tropical climate to promote thermal comfort, air‐quality and energy consumption. The study is carried out using modeling and simulation techniques and is conducted at the Federal University of Viçosa in Brazil. A model is …
