Battery storage systems become increasingly more important to fulfil large demands in peaks of energy consumption due to the increasing supply of intermittent renewable energy. The vanadium redox flow battery systems are attracting attention because of scalability and robustness of these systems make …

Population ageing has been a focus of research since the 1960s (Michael et al. 2006), and it has become a domain of international discussions, debates and research throughout a myriad of disciplines including housing, urban planning and real estate (Buffel and Phillipson 2016, van Bronswijk 2015, Kort …

The transition towards electric mobility is expected to take off the coming years, as more EV car models access the market and charging infrastructure is being expanded. The expansion of charging infrastructure will have to accelerate to keep pace with the fast-growing need for charging. The coming years …

The built environment accounts for approximately 30-40% of the total energy consumption in the Netherlands and Germany (RVO, 2015). The INTERREG project Cleantech Energy Crossing therefore aims to facilitate the energy transition in this area by promoting cross-border collaboration. Through the realization …

We developed a dedicated Atomic Force Microscopy set-up in a hermetically closed environment, coupled with a Galvanostat/Potentiostat which will be able to perform in-situ and operando measurements at the cathode-electrolyte and anode-electrolyte interface to monitor the interphase processes. The setup …

BACKGROUND: A lack of physical activity is considered to cause 6% of deaths globally. Feedback from wearables such as activity trackers has the potential to encourage daily physical activity. To date, little research is available on the natural development of adherence to activity trackers or on potential …

As part of the National Transition Board Practice Research Raak/SIA program, the INTRALOG (intelligent Truck Application in Logistics) project investigated the practical application of zero emission Automatic Guided Trucks (AGTs) for the transport of containers in the Harbour Industrial Cluster (HIC) …

This document presents the investigation of the costs of investing in a new transformer compared to the maintenance of an existing one. A detailed research of the different technical possibilities to maintain transformers has been conducted. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) technology had …
