In this article we examine the experiences of the first and second author who have changed themselves to become newly attuned to the sun, or who have “become solar”. Motivated by calls to approach solar design in novel, less technocratic ways, we reflect on their one-year journey to gain a new relationship …

Floating photovoltaics (FPV) is emerging as a promising renewable energy technology which enables the production of electricity on surface waters. While this technology could potentially make an important contribution to the energy transition, the current uncertainty about the water quality effects of …

Decentralised renewable energy production in the form of fuels or electricity can have large scale deployment in future energy systems, but the feasibility needs to be assessed. The novelty of this paper is in the design and implementation of a mixed integer linear programming optimisation model to minimise …

Louter investeren in netverzwaring is volgens Martien Visser niet de oplossing. “Laten we in plaats daarvan veel meer gaan werken aan het stimuleren van de vraag op momenten met veel aanbod.”

Several carbon-neutral towns are investigating novel technological solutions to enable a green energy transition that incorporates increasing proportions of locally generated energy. More efficient integrated energy solutions for electricity, heat, water, waste, and transportation infrastructure must …
