Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy mix of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires energy systems for storing electricity. Storage of electricity as methane from (bio)hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is considered an interesting option. The surplus …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. Such a hybrid energy network could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational flexibility. Nowadays, the expectations on Natural Gas …

This chapter diagnoses the situation of high-tech small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Eindhoven Brainport region in the south of the Netherlands, based on desk research and additional background interviews. This region has an ecosystem with a very proliferated heritage of technology-based companies …

In order to improve the social acceptance of photovoltaic modules, the choice in panel color and size should be enlarged. Although various approaches have been reported to change the appearance of PV modules, it often adds complexity to the manufacturing process. Here an approach is presented in which …

The company Epomat and NHL Hogeschool are currently working on developing a new solar boat. This new boat will sail in the Top Class competition called “Dutch solar challenge”, a ranking dominated by highly specialized firms and universities. In order to get a better place in the competition, this solar …

Rooftop Energy (RTE) is a company that operates in the field of solar photovoltaic (PV), commonly known as solar panels. Until now RTE had completed dozens of projects in the Dutch market. The reason for this research is that the SDE segment is relatively still unknown terrain to RTE and therefore needs …

This study focuses on the possible advantage of an aesthetic appeal on the adoption of photovoltaic (PV) cells and panels. Study deals with the importance of this perception of solar panels by potential buyers. It reports the relative importance of aesthetics compared with other attributes, namely investment …
