The generation of electrical power from renewable sources such as wind and solar power is on the rise. However, the nature of this power generation is characterized by a relatively high level of unpredictability, whereas the demand for electrical power continues to grow steadily. These factors – among …

Rabobank organiseert in samenwerking met ENTRANCE een Masterclass over de laatste ontwikkelingen rondom batterijopslag voor overtollige energie. Batterijen zijn essentieel voor energieopslag. Tijdens deze Masterclass bespreken we de nieuwste ontwikkelingen en praktijkvoorbeelden van batterijopslag. We …

The SteamBox is a startup that focuses on their innovative product; SteamBox. It is a self-heating lunchbox that uses steam to warm up the food inside of it. It is composed of a main container that stores the batteries as well as the heating system, and of a separate container meant for the food. When …

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 …

The intermittency of renewable energy technologies requires adequate storage technologies. Hydrogen systems consisting of electrolysers, storage tanks, and fuel cells can be implemented as well as batteries. The requirements of the hydrogen purification unit is missing from literature. We measured the …

A public webinar about the possible role of household batteries in grid congestion management.

Several studies have shown that flying electric between the so-called ABC-islands in the Caribbean (i.e., Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao) is feasible with the upcoming first generation of battery-electric aircraft. This paper presents a real-world case study that deals with the technical and operational …

Battery energy storage (BES) can provide many grid services, such as power flow management to reduce distribution grid overloading. It is desirable to minimise BES storage capacities to reduce investment costs. However, it is not always clear how battery sizing is affected by battery siting and power …
