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 …

De Hogeschool van Amsterdam doet al meer dan 10 jaar onderzoek naar het opladen van elektrische auto’s en de benodigde laadinfrastructuur. Een dynamische wereld waarin de ontwikkelingen heel snel zijn gegaan. Het onderzoek van de HvA is meegegroeid met deze wereld. Van AC tot DC en van plug-in hybride …

The ever-increasing electrification of society has been a cause of utility grid issues in many regions around the world. With the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Netherlands, many new charge points (CPs) are required. A common installation practice of CPs is to group multiple CPs …

Radio Kootwijk is part of Dutch history, and the impressive main Building A stands as a monument of architecture and communication in the heaths of the Veluwe near Apeldoorn. But both building and nature are in peril since preservation only is not enough to meet new standards for upkeep and improvement. …

This study used historical data from a Park & Ride facility in Amsterdam to build a validated computer (Python) model to optimize battery and grid connection sizing. The case study modelled is equipped with 8 EV chargers (16 connections), an on-site supplementary battery, and a limited capacity grid …

A lab-based test setup was developed to simulate a novel droop rate controlled DC bus charging plaza installation in the Netherlands. The system consists of multiple bidirectional DC charging points, a PV array and a bidirectional grid connection. Currently the installed system employs linear droop control …

Radio Kootwijk is a well-known architectural and historic icon near Apeldoorn, surrounded by extensive heath fields, sand dunes, and forests. Most of the old built infrastructure around it has disappeared, safe the ruins of Hotel Radio, a former workers pension. Benefiting from the natural environment …
