Met de energietransitie doorgaan op de bestaande weg lijkt volgens Martien Visser onbegaanbaar en in elk geval riskant. De nieuwe energiewet krijgt van de Raad van State forse kritiek en er komt een nieuw kabinet. Dat schept ruimte die wet nog eens op de hand te nemen. Want terwijl de energietransitie …

This chapter discusses several aspects related to engineering methods in wind turbine design codes. Current engineering models for rotor aerodynamics topic are built around the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory. The Blade Element Momentum theory in itself is very basic, e.g., it is derived for two-dimensional, …

In this presentation a new EA Wind Task is presented, i.e. an international cooperative project on the field of aerodynamic wind turbine measurements organised under auspices of the IEA

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …

Ook deze keer gaan we online, het is niet anders! Na een aantal interessante en ook gezellige ‘echte’ bijeenkomsten moesten we immers vanaf maart 2020 online verder.Met de bijeenkomsten en de Webinars hebben we geprobeerd jullie zoveel mogelijk te laten zien wat de sector te bieden heeft en wat het tot …

BACKGROUND: A guideline for occupational health professionals (OHPs) is developed which provides them with knowledge and skills to optimize their guidance to people with a chronic disease. OBJECTIVE: Developing a training programme to acquire and apply knowledge and skills provided by the guideline, …

In face of climate change and urbanization, the need for thermally comfortable outdoor urban spaces is increasing. In the design of the thermally comfortable urban spaces and decision making about interventions that enhance thermal comfort, scientists and professionals that work for cities use meteorological …

In dit hoofdstuk worden communicatieve interventies over de energietransitie gepresenteerd, volgens het onderzoeksmodel Van A naar Duurzaamheid, dat de volgende stappen omvat: urgentie, bewustwording, actie & collectief handelen, maatschappelijk draagvlak en in dialoog met de samenleving. evenals diverse …

Large wind turbines have recently had the energy sector’s attention given their reliability, cost-effectiveness, competitive power, and the maturity of their technology. Unfortunately, large wind turbines usually face obstacles regarding their social acceptance near rural or residential areas. On the …

Wind turbines are usually clustered in wind farms which causes the downstream turbines to operate in the turbulent wakes of upstream turbines. As turbulence is directly related to increased fatigue loads, knowledge of the turbulence in the wake and its evolution are important. Therefore, the main objective …
