Small wind turbines face significant challenges in achieving commercial viability due to lower efficiency and higher energy costs compared to utility-scale systems and competing renewable technologies. Counter-rotating dual-rotor wind turbines (CR-DRWTs) with dual-rotational armature configurations offer …

Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to measure …

Medium-scale farms using anaerobic digestion must choose among different biogas utilization pathways, each with distinct technical and environmental implications. This study develops an integrated assessment framework that combines Aspen Plus process simulations with life cycle assessment in openLCA …

To broaden the application of biomethanation for energy storage and renewable integration, this study investigates the performance of a trickle-bed reactor (TBR) for hydrogen (H2) utilisation in biogas upgrading, using both pure Carbon dioxide (CO2) and biogas-derived CO2 as substrates for methane (CH4) …

The use of citrus fibers in the food industry has grown due to their functional, nutritional, and economic benefits. They enhance dietary fiber content, improve sensory qualities, and increase physical stability, making them suitable for various food and beverage applications. Pectin is commonly used …

De productiviteitsgroei in de bouw blijft al jaren achter en digitalisering wordt gezien als een belangrijke mogelijkheid om efficiënter, sneller en met minder fouten te werken. Heijmans Huizen B.V. wil deze digitalisering vertalen naar een papierloze bouwplaats. Er worden echter belemmeringen verwacht …

This chapter “Sustainable City Logistics” explores how cities are transitioning toward more efficient, low-emission, and multimodal logistics systems. Traditional urban freight has long depended on vans and trucks, which, while essential, contribute significantly to congestion, emissions, and noise. …

Purpose To investigate the test-retest reliability and validity of the steep ramp test (SRT), a short and practical maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer, for assessing CRF in apparently healthy adults aged 25–85 years. Methods To determine test-retest reliability, the reliability group performed …

Forecasting the thermal behavior of flexible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within energy management systems (EMS) require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time …

This study aims to identify, prioritize, and evaluate performance criteria that matter most to two key logistics stakeholders—trucking companies and receiving companies—in the context of container transportation. It further investigates how these stakeholders perceive the Connected and Autonomous Transport …
