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 …

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 …

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 …

The electricity grid is reaching full capacity, and the effects of this grid congestion are becoming increasingly noticeable in the Netherlands. As a result, in some places it is difficult, if not impossible, to build new houses. What’s more, there are now almost 10,000 (!) businesses and organizations …

Kennislunch; presentatie van het Phd-onderzoek

This research presents a case study exploring the potential for demand side flexibility at a cluster of university buildings. The study investigates the potential of a collection of various electrical devices, excluding heating and cooling systems. With increasing penetration of renewable electricity …
