Presentatie/Lezing voor Raad van State - Sectie IV (online)

Renewable energy sources have an intermittent character that does not necessarily match energy demand. Such imbalances tend to increase system cost as they require mitigation measures and this is undesirable when available resources should be focused on increasing renewable energy supply. Matching supply …

A major target of the European Green Deal is to raise the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target to 55% compared to 1990. This high ambition includes an increase of the energy performance of buildings and additional generation of renewable energy in all sectors. The tertiary sector, including …

Although there is an array of technical solutions available for retrofitting the building stock, the uptake of these by owner‐occupants in home improvement activities is lagging. Energy performance improvement is not included in maintenance, redecoration, and/or upgrading activities on a scale necessary …

Completeness of data is vital for the decision making and forecasting on Building Management Systems (BMS) as missing data can result in biased decision making down the line. This study creates a guideline for imputing the gaps in BMS datasets by comparing four methods: K Nearest Neighbour algorithm …

The application of DC grids is gaining more attention in office applications. Especially since powering an office desk would not require a high power connection to the main AC grid but could be made sustainable using solar power and battery storage. This would result in fewer converters and further advanced …

In practice, faults in building installations are seldom noticed because automated systems to diagnose such faults are not common use, despite many proposed methods: they are cumbersome to apply and not matching the way of thinking of HVAC engineers. Additionally, fault diagnosis and energy performance …

In opdracht van EnTranCe wordt een hackaton georganiseerd tijdens de scholenchallenge waarbij een energieplan moet worden opgeleverd waarin de eigen middelbare school van de deelnemers ingezet wordt als energiehub voor de omgeving. In dit energieplan moet naar voren komen in welke mate de school een …

Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are potential high-impact climate change mitigation actions towards low carbon or even climate neutral cities. This implies that the energy performance and greenhouse gas emissions of PEDs need to be assessed. To this end, an accounting methodology, metrics, supporting …

Voor u ligt de eindrapportage van het project Transforming Regions dat binnen het zogenaamde ESTRAC-project is uitgevoerd. ESTRAC staat voor Energy Transition Centre, een langlopend (2017-2021) publiek-private samenwerking tussen Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Hanzehogeschool Groningen, TNO, New Energy …
