Community energy can be conceptualized as a social movement, which aims to develop a sustainable, democratic, and localist energy system. Increasingly, community energy initiatives aim to develop citizen-led heating projects. District heating projects are characterized by costly investments, a substantial …

Rede, op samenvattende wijze gepresenteerd 21 maart 2023 door Mr Dr. Daisy G. Tempelman ter gelegenheid van haar installatie als Lector Juridische Vraagstukken binnen de energietransitie bij het Instituut voor Rechtenstudies en het Centre of Expertise – Energy aan de Hanzehogeschool Groningen. Lectoraat …

The paper describes the first implementation of the Unified Citizen Engagement Approach (UCEA), a newly developed design-oriented framework for citizen engagement in the energy transition. The preliminary testing and evaluation of several of its pathways in Groningen, the Netherlands, show that the role …

The variety of activities employed by community energy organisations has broadened considerably. Drawing on Social Movement Theory, we argue that these activities indicate that energy communities engage in ‘prefigurative’ activities; they create in their own environment the decentralized and democratic …

A prototype of an indoor monoblock heat pump was tested at multiple ambient temperatures, to determine heat output, COP and the impact of defrosting events. Component efficiencies and the ice accumulation process were analysed. Options to improve performance were suggested.

Technische, economische en maatschappelijke aspecten van duurzame waterstof. Dit rapport is geschreven als achtergrondinformatie voor twee projecten waarbij de Hanzehogeschool Groningen betrokken is: de bouw van een waterstoftankstation in Groningen en de ontwikkeling van een waterstofwoonwijk in Hoogeveen. …

Dynamic inflow effects occur due to the rapid change of the rotor loading under conditions such as fast pitch steps. The paper presents a setup suitable for the investigation of those effects for non-axisymmetric rotor conditions, namely individual pitch steps. Furthermore, insights into the relevant …
