In 2050 moet ons land volledig af van fossiele brandstoffen. Al onze energie komt dan van duurzame bronnen. Maar wat als de zon niet schijnt of de wind niet waait? En hoe maak je het elektriciteitsnet geschikt voor tweerichtingsverkeer als consumenten ook producent van energie worden?

Van burgemeester tot aardrijkskundestudent. Door middel van de Tinus Hammink Tafel maken uiteenlopende doelgroepen kennis met het elektriciteitsnet. Ze leren wat er gebeurt als ze een deel van het systeem aanpassen én met welke stakeholders ze rekening moeten houden.

Anomalies in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems of buildings can lead to performance degradation, energy inefficiencies, and occupant discomfort. Automated anomaly detection is essential to prevent these issues. Machine learning based anomaly detection techniques are effective …

The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …

The transition towards sustainable and just food systems is ongoing, illustrated by an increasing number of initiatives that try to address unsustainable practices and social injustices. Insights are needed into what a just transition entails in order to critically engage with plural and potentially …
