Take a chance to help people living in poverty! In 2016 and 2017; I conducted two different research projects in Gitega, Kigali-Rwanda. Gitega is a neighborhood in Kigali-Rwanda where sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, timely law enforcement, maintenance of housing, transportation, …

This paper presents the results of both a qualitative and a quantitative study on the possibilities for peak shaving the energy demand of ship-to-shore (STS) cranes at container terminals. The objective is to present an energy consumption model that visualizes the energy demand of STS cranes and to show …

A detailed solar prediction is necessary in case of particular cloudiness-patterns causing undesirable large fluctuations in photovoltaic electricity production. By considering the project objectives and expected outcomes, as well as the fact that the motion of the clouds is the key element that influences …

This research is done on behalf of the company Fudura, which is, as a commercially operating organisation, part of the Enexis Group. Fudura is a nationwide organisation operating on the Dutch energy market, especially in the provinces of Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Noord-Brabant, and Limburg. As …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. Such a hybrid energy network could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational flexibility. Nowadays, the expectations on Natural Gas …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of the independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. In addition to an increase in exergy efficiency, such a Hybrid Energy Network (HEN) could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational …

Excess of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar panels is used for electrolysis of water. To store this renewable energy as methane, the hydrogen is fed to an anaerobic digester to stimulate biological methanation by hydrogenotrophic methanogens. This workpackage focusses on the best ways …

Power to methane provides a solution to a couple of two problems: unbalanced production and demand of wind plus solar power electricity and the low methane content of biogas by storing electricity via hydrogen into methane gas using carbon dioxide from biogas and methanogenic bacteria. The four-year …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy mix of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires energy systems for storing electricity. Storage of electricity as methane from (bio)hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is considered an interesting option. The surplus …
