Energy transition implications for demand and supply of power system flexibility: A case study of the Netherlands within an EU electricity market and trading context

Sijm, J. (author), Koutstaal, P. (author), Özdemir, Ö. (author), van Hout, M. (author)

The Netherlands is aiming for a more sustainable, low-carbon energy system. For the power system, this energy transition implies (1) a larger share of electricity from variable renewable energy (VRE), in particular from sun and wind; (2) a larger share of electricity in total energy use, i.e. a higher rate of electrification of the energy system...

Optimisation of NB-IoT deployment for smart energy distribution networks

Nair, V. (author), Litjens, R. (author), Zhang, H. (author)

A suitability assessment and performance optimisation is presented of narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) cellular technology for use in smart energy distribution networks. The focus is on the reliable and timely delivery of outage restoration and management (ORM) messages at the event of a local or regional power outage. Both the cellular NB...

Introduction and organization of book material

Catthoor, F. (author), Basten, T. (author), Zompakis, N. (author), Geilen, M.C.W. (author), Kjeldsberg, P.G. (author)

The focus of this book is on the principles and the use of the system scenario approach. This concept effectively supports the efficient realization of systems in the presence of strong dynamic behavior. The efficiency can be obtained in a multi-dimensional cost space. Realizations can involve the mapping of applications on some type of...

The advent of digital medical data has brought an exponential increase in information available for each patient, allowing for novel knowledge generation methods to emerge. Tapping into this data brings clinical research and clinical practice closer together, as data generated in ordinary clinical practice can be used towards rapid-learning...

Abstraction and abstraction refinement

Dams, D.R. (author), Grumberg, O. (author)

Abstraction, in the context of model checking, is aimed at reducing the state space of the system by omitting details that are irrelevant to the property being verified. Many successful approaches to the "state explosion problem," some of them described in other chapters, can be seen as abstractions. In this chapter, several notions of...

Network delay and bandwidth estimation for cross-device synchronized media

Mu, M. (author), Stokking, H.M. (author), den Hartog, F. (author)

Driven by the growth in mobile phone and tablet ownership, recent years have witnessed an increasing trend towards coordinated media experiences across multiple devices. The quality of experience (QoE) over such new generation applications is dictated by the quality of service (QoS) of underlying networks. Inevitable network delay and bandwidth...

Media synchronisation for television Services through HbbTV

van Deventer, M.O. (author), Probst, M. (author), Ziegler, C. (author)

Media synchronisation is getting renewed attention with ecosystems of smart televisions and connected devices enabling novel media consumption paradigms. Social TV, hybrid TV and companion screens are examples that are enabling people to consume multiple media streams on multiple devices together. These novel use cases place a number of demands...

Kahn process networks and a reactive extension

Geilen, M. (author), Basten, T. (author)

Kahn and MacQueen have introduced a generic class of determinate asynchronous data-flow applications, called Kahn Process Networks (KPNs) with an elegant mathematical model and semantics in terms of Scott-continuous functions on data streams together with an implementation model of independent asynchronous sequential programs communicating...

Plugging the gap between energy policy and the lived experience of energy poverty: Five principles for a multidisciplinary approach

Middlemiss, L. (author), Gillard, R. (author), Pellicer, V. (author), Straver, K. (author)

In this chapter, we illustrate the value of a multidisciplinary approach to energy poverty policy, drawing on insights from research into the lived experience of energy poverty in three European countries. We argue that understanding the lived experience of energy poverty is critical in designing energy policies which are fair, effective and...

Accelerated testing for chloride threshold of reinforcing steel in concrete

Polder, R.B. (author), van Put, M. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author)

Testing for the chloride threshold (also called critical chloride content) for corrosion initiation of steel in concrete has been found difficult and, at best, time consuming. Nevertheless, the chloride threshold is an important parameter in service life design of new structures and for evaluation of the remaining service life of existing...

Forever young or ageing naturally?

van Hees, R.P.J. (author), Naldini, S. (author)

Age and ageing can be felt as negative occurrences. For monuments, however, old age is traditionally considered to be a positive quality. Without a certain age, the designation "monument" hardly applies. Ageing can be seen as the work of time, which has always been valued: ageing was sometimes even artificially induced in the past. In this paper...

Portland cement production is an energy-intensive process responsible for a significant share of the total CO2 production. Its replacement with low carbon binders from by-products of industrial processes is a sustainable alternative for innovative construction materials. In addition, the combination of low carbon binders with recycled aggregates...

Extraction of soil solution by drainage centrifugation—effects of centrifugal force and time of centrifugation on soil moisture recovery and solute concentration in soil moisture of loess subsoils

Fraters, D. (author), Boom, G.J.F.L. (author), Boumans, L.J.M. (author), de Weerd, H. (author), Wolters, M. (author)

The solute concentration in the subsoil beneath the root zone is an important parameter for leaching assessment. Drainage centrifugation is considered a simple and straightforward method of determining soil solution chemistry. Although several studies have been carried out to determine whether this method is robust, hardly any results are...

Development of a smart key performance indicator for in-situ load tests

Dieteren, G. (author), Bigaj-van Vliet, A.J. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Sangers, A. (author)

In-situ load testing of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is often performed to confirm the presence of the required resistance for the intended use (Conformity Load Testing) or to support the assessments of the residual capacity by models (Supplementary Load Testing for Condition Assessment). When performing an in-situ load test, one of the...
