Circular, biobased, and modular construction practices are gaining traction as cities seek to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. However, little is known about how these strategies affect construction logistics and their associated emissions. We develop an agent-based model to …

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 …

Solutions for grid congestion on business parks: Groningen Stroomt Door

In het Kenniscafé praat men elke maand met Groningse wetenschappers en onderzoekers over actuele thema's. Marten van der Laan, vertelt over zijn betrokkenheid bij het project Groningen Stroomt Door dat is opgericht om overbelasting van het elektriciteitsnet tegen te gaan. Moeten we wel ruimte maken …

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 …
