In the Netherlands, energy cooperatives are increasingly active in the production of renewable energy. Many cooperatives have concrete plans to invest in energy projects, such as solar fields and wind turbines. Unfortunately, in the coming years there will hardly be any room for such projects in the …

Aardgas blijft nog lang de ruggengraat van onze energievoorziening, stelt Martien Visser. Het mondiale gasverbruik is het afgelopen decennium jaarlijks toegenomen.

As a result of “disruptive” technology, labour changes and we easily lose sight of the deep interweaving of work, career and self-development. Little or no consideration is given to the psychological consequences of job loss, attribution style reversal and its consequences for an individual or his family. …

This thesis is concerning effective use of fuel on board the ALP STRIKER. The recent transfer from heavy fuel oil, to the more expensive marine gas oil led to ongoing discussions about the effective use of fuel on board. The goal was to find the optimum propulsion configuration on board for any attainable …

Met de energietransitie doorgaan op de bestaande weg lijkt volgens Martien Visser onbegaanbaar en in elk geval riskant. De nieuwe energiewet krijgt van de Raad van State forse kritiek en er komt een nieuw kabinet. Dat schept ruimte die wet nog eens op de hand te nemen. Want terwijl de energietransitie …

This chapter discusses several aspects related to engineering methods in wind turbine design codes. Current engineering models for rotor aerodynamics topic are built around the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory. The Blade Element Momentum theory in itself is very basic, e.g., it is derived for two-dimensional, …

In this presentation a new EA Wind Task is presented, i.e. an international cooperative project on the field of aerodynamic wind turbine measurements organised under auspices of the IEA

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …

Ook deze keer gaan we online, het is niet anders! Na een aantal interessante en ook gezellige ‘echte’ bijeenkomsten moesten we immers vanaf maart 2020 online verder.Met de bijeenkomsten en de Webinars hebben we geprobeerd jullie zoveel mogelijk te laten zien wat de sector te bieden heeft en wat het tot …

BACKGROUND: A guideline for occupational health professionals (OHPs) is developed which provides them with knowledge and skills to optimize their guidance to people with a chronic disease. OBJECTIVE: Developing a training programme to acquire and apply knowledge and skills provided by the guideline, …
