As part of a Masterclass on Small Scale LNG prof. dr. ir. J. Dam was invited to give a lecture on the possibilities in the future for LNG. The following topics were discussed;- Which technologies are maturing?- What new LNG applications can we expect in the future?- Where does hydrogen meet LNG?

During a guest lecture at the Klaipeda University prof. dr. ir. J. Dam presented his findings on Cryogenic fuels in a top-down approach. The role of small scale LNG and H2 in Coupled Hybrid Energy Networks and LNG storage systems were also discussed.

Vehicle2Grid is a new charging strategy that allows for charging and discharging of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) and Full Electric Vehicles (FEV). The discharged energy can be supplied back to the (local) energy grid, enabling for grid alleviation, but can also be supplied back to the household …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of the independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. In addition to an increase in exergy efficiency, such a Hybrid Energy Network (HEN) could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational …

As a result of the scandal of the biggest social housing supplier "Vestia" in the non-profit rented sector in the Netherlands in 2012 a change is the steering mechanism was desired. The Dutch parliamentary survey committee suggested three possible "purer" alternatives for the current hybrid system, based …

Prof. dr.ir. J. Dam gave a quest lecture at the University of Twente about LNG and it's potential. He discussed the development of LNG form it's discovery as Liquified Natural Gas till the future possibilities.

In PowerMatching City, the leading Dutch smart grid project, 40 households participated in a field laboratory designed for sustainable living. The participating households were equipped with various decentralized energy sources (PV and micro combined heat-power units), hybrid heat pumps, smart appliances, …

The two-dimensional vehicle routing problem (2L-VRP) is a realistic extension of the classical vehicle routing problem where customers’ demands are composed by sets of non-stackable items. Examples of such problems can be found in many real-life applications, e.g. furniture or industrial machinery transportation. …
