The volume of biogas produced in agricultural areas is expected to increase in coming years. An increasing number of local and regional initiatives show a growing interest in decentralized energy production, wherein biogas can play a role. Biogas transport from production sites to user, i.e. a CHP, boiler …

This paper presents insights and perceptions of stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of residential smart grid pilot projects in the Netherlands, adding to the limited information that is currently available in this area, while expectations about the potential benefits of smart …

Since the introduction of the Global Positioning System (GPS), many civil and military applications have become dependent on the continuous availability of GPS-derived position and timing information. Examples comprise financial transaction systems, electrical power grids and combat management systems. …
