Door verregaande elektrificatie van onze samenleving veranderen de ontwerpcriteria voor het elektriciteitsnet van de netwerkbeheerders. Door de netbelasting van “all-electric” (gasloze) woonwijken te meten en te modelleren bepalen we welke invloed verregaande elektrificatie in de toekomst zal hebben …

This research has been executed on behalf of the shipping company Hartman Seatrade. This research has been done due to the new rules of the IMO (International Maritime Organisation), according the sulphur emissions of ships.

When a pipeline is laid on the seabed it can be exposed to hazards of ship anchors, large fishing gear or ice keels. To prevent the pipeline of being damaged, the pipeline can be trenched. Trenching is a technique where the pipeline will be buried in the seabed to a certain depth. This can either be …

In PowerMatching City, the leading Dutch smart grid project, 40 households participated in a field laboratory designed for sustainable living. The participating households were equipped with various decentralized energy sources (PV and micro combined heat-power units), hybrid heat pumps, smart appliances, …

Flexigrow is a project which analyzes the performance of an all-electric neighborhood of energy efficient houses here in the Netherlands. The goal of this project is to determine whether or not the houses are performing as well as expected and how we might improve their performance using different infrastructure …
