The variety of activities employed by community energy organisations has broadened considerably. Drawing on Social Movement Theory, we argue that these activities indicate that energy communities engage in ‘prefigurative’ activities; they create in their own environment the decentralized and democratic …

A prototype of an indoor monoblock heat pump was tested at multiple ambient temperatures, to determine heat output, COP and the impact of defrosting events. Component efficiencies and the ice accumulation process were analysed. Options to improve performance were suggested.

Technische, economische en maatschappelijke aspecten van duurzame waterstof. Dit rapport is geschreven als achtergrondinformatie voor twee projecten waarbij de Hanzehogeschool Groningen betrokken is: de bouw van een waterstoftankstation in Groningen en de ontwikkeling van een waterstofwoonwijk in Hoogeveen. …

Dynamic inflow effects occur due to the rapid change of the rotor loading under conditions such as fast pitch steps. The paper presents a setup suitable for the investigation of those effects for non-axisymmetric rotor conditions, namely individual pitch steps. Furthermore, insights into the relevant …

The goal of a local energy community (LEC) is to create a more sustainable, resilient, and efficient energy system by reducing dependence on centralized power sources and enabling greater participation and control by local communities and individuals. LEC requires transformations in local energy systems, …

There is an ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources in order to combat climate change. National power grids are suffering due to the rapid introduction of new energy sources and have other disadvantages. Local Energy Systems (LESs) are a beneficial example of an off-grid energy systems that …
