De elektrificatie van vrachtvervoer versnelt, maar legt een groeiende druk op het elektriciteitsnet van bedrijventerreinen. Netcongestie dreigt daarmee een rem te worden op de verduurzaming van logistiek transport. Dit artikel onderzoekt hoe de toekomstige laadbehoefte voor elektrische trucks en bestelwagens …

With a low-/no-emission zone coming into effect in Amsterdam city centre, Albert Heijn must switch to electric delivery vans to if it is to continue its grocery delivery service to customers’ doors. Albert Heijn intends to scale up to 750 delivery vans in the 4 large cities in the coming years [1], meaning …

This report describes the development of a prototype for a device that can charge and secure the Luna Glass, Luna’s flagship product. The assignment was to create the hardware and software necessary to facilitate a device that can charge the Luna Glass with room for future changes. The development is …

This paper investigates smart charging strategies for battery-electric construction machinery (non-road mobile machinery, NRMM) through a case study of a large-scale housing project in The Hague, Netherlands. The study develops a methodology to estimate energy demands and simulate charging profiles during …

While the Municipality of Amsterdam wants to expand the electric vehicle public charging infrastructure to reach carbon-neutral objectives, the Distribution System Operator cannot allow new charging stations where low-voltage transformers are reaching their maximum capacity. To solve this situation, …

To achieve the climate goals by 2030, Germany has introduced measures such as the expanding of renewable energy infrastructure and implementing policies that promote electric vehicles. These measures are intended to reduce the environmental footprint of the energy and mobility sectors. Light electrical …

The world of electric mobility and charging infrastructure has accelerated in recent years: from a start-up to a mature market. During the last decade, researchers at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences have contributed to making the rollout and use of charging infrastructure smarter. By analysing …

Charging infrastructure deployment has taken off in many cities with the rise of the number of electric vehicles on the road. Expansion of infrastructure is a matter of prioritisation of resources to optimise the infrastructure. This paper explores how to measure charging station performance, to address …

This study focuses on the feasibility of electric aircraft operations between the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. It explores the technical characteristics of two different future electric aircraft types (i.e., Alice and ES-19) and compares their operational requirements with those …
