To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, countries around the world are pursuing electrification policies. In residential areas, electrification will increase electricity supply and demand, which is expected to increase grid congestion at a faster rate than grids can be reinforced. Battery energy storage …

This report aims to provide clarity on the legal framework surrounding the regulation of flexibility in the Dutch electricity grid that solves or reduces the congestion issues in the Netherlands. Congestion in the Dutch electricity grids1 has rapidly increased over the past two years. Local grid operators …

The energy community movement has grown considerably over the past ten years. Energy communities are also expanding their activities. However, room for new energy projects is limited because of grid congestion. Therefore, citizen energy communities (CECs) are looking for ways to reduce the pressure on …

Dynamic energy contracts, offering hourly varying day-ahead prices for electricity, create opportunities for a residential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to not just optimize the self-consumption of solar energy but also capitalize on price differences. This work examines the financial potential …

The intermittency of renewable energy technologies requires adequate storage technologies. Hydrogen systems consisting of electrolysers, storage tanks, and fuel cells can be implemented as well as batteries. The requirements of the hydrogen purification unit is missing from literature. We measured the …

Dat onze energietoekomst onzeker is, zal iedereen beamen. In feite vormt de energietransitie één groot experiment. De auteurs van het concept Nationaal Plan Energie (NPE) stellen volgens hem dan ook terecht dat het “toekomstbeeld inherent onzeker is en afhankelijk van tal van aannames.” We weten domweg …

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 …

Wat voor samenleving willen wij? Met een onzeker, gestrest energiesysteem waarin het energiegebruik van burgers en bedrijven gestuurd wordt door de wispelturige productie uit zon en wind? Of kiezen we voor een, ongetwijfeld wat duurder, vriendelijk energiesysteem met People in Power en waarin iedereen …
