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, …

Background Positive Energy Districts, which incorporate energy planning at the district level, are a pioneering concept for sustainable, smart and climate-neutral urban development. This concept supports creating communities that generate more annual energy than they consume. To this end, integrative …

Urban living labs (ULLs) are experimental governance mechanisms accelerating sustainability transitions in the built environment, yet their governance implications and systemic impact are often under-examined. A comparative analysis of six ULLs is presented with a focus on positive energy districts (PEDs) …

Een van de onderdelen van het TSDCE project, WP3, betreft het meten en een veldtest op locatie. Hierbij wordt in Amsterdam op locatie gemeten, waarbij het vooral gaat om de dynamiek van veranderingen in belasting (bij remmen en optrekken). Het is gelukt om het verloop van de spanning van de bovenleiding …

Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are a promising approach to urban energy transformation, aiming to optimize local energy systems and deliver environmental, social and economic benefits. However, their effectiveness and justification for investment rely on understanding the additional value they provide …

This paper presents a case study where a model predictive control (MPC) logic is developed for energy flexible operation of a space heating system in an educational building. A Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTM) surrogate model is trained on the output of an EnergyPlus building simulation model. …

Hittemetingen, belevingsonderzoeken en een simulatiestudie geven inzicht in hitte oorzaken en effectieve maatregelen tegen hitte in typisch Nederlandse woonsituaties.

Hitteprotocol. In dit draaiboek staat de methodologie van het uitvoeren van hittemetingen volgens de methode uit het RAAK Hitte in de woning onderzoek aan de HvA.
