The increasing penetration of renewable energy (RE) and hydrogen technologies is reshaping the operational requirements of modern decarbonised energy systems, necessitating advanced control strategies to coordinate renewable generation, hydrogen storage, and heterogeneous end‐use demands. This paper …

Indoor service robots need perception that is robust, more privacy-friendly than RGB video, and feasible on embedded hardware. We present a camera-free 2D LiDAR object detection pipeline that encodes short-term temporal context by stacking three consecutive scans as RGB channels, yielding a compact YOLOv8n …

The urgency of the energy transition is increasing. Grid congestion is a growing issue and the effects of climate change are becoming more apparent. To accelerate the energy transition we need to learn more from each other and share knowledge more effectively. In the Learning Communities System Integration …

This paper investigates smart charging strategies for battery-electric construction machinery (non-road mobile machinery, NRMM) through a case study of a large-scale housing project in The Hague, Netherlands. The study develops a methodology to estimate energy demands and simulate charging profiles during …

While the Municipality of Amsterdam wants to expand the electric vehicle public charging infrastructure to reach carbon-neutral objectives, the Distribution System Operator cannot allow new charging stations where low-voltage transformers are reaching their maximum capacity. To solve this situation, …

"In the first quarter of 2025, 42.5% of net electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources. In June 2025, solar was the largest source of EU electricity for the first time, with multiple countries producing record amounts of solar power. At least 13 member states set new monthly solar …

To achieve the climate goals by 2030, Germany has introduced measures such as the expanding of renewable energy infrastructure and implementing policies that promote electric vehicles. These measures are intended to reduce the environmental footprint of the energy and mobility sectors. Light electrical …

Solutions for grid congestion on business parks: Groningen Stroomt Door

The global clean energy transition goals require commitment from every country. Different locations however present different technical and economic viability for increasing the penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) resources to meet national targets. This work presents a comparative economic …

This work describes the design, implementation and validation of an autonomous gas leakage inspection robot. Navigation with centimeter level accuracy is achieved using RTK GNSS integrated using the ROS 2 and Nav2 frameworks. The proposed solution has been validated successfully in terms of navigation …
