Electrification of residential areas is increasingly common. Major areas of development include promoting rooftop solar panels, electric vehicles and heat pumps. However, existing grid components may have insufficient capacity to support the resulting electricity flows. Battery energy storage (BES) can …

Community energy can be conceptualized as a social movement, which aims to develop a sustainable, democratic, and localist energy system. Increasingly, community energy initiatives aim to develop citizen-led heating projects. District heating projects are characterized by costly investments, a substantial …

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.

In de afgelopen twee jaar is veel veranderd op juridisch vlak als het gaat om de rechtspositie van de consument en diens aansluiting op het aardgassysteem. In deze bijdrage verkennen we de juridische mogelijkheden én onmogelijkheden van twee uitgangsposities: a. die van de burger die graag zelf actie …
