Yang, Q. (author), Coutino, M. (author), Leus, G. (author), Giannakis, G.B. (author)Graph-based learning and estimation are fundamental problems in various applications involving power, social, and brain networks, to name a few. While learning pair-wise interactions in network data is a well-studied problem, discovering higher-order interactions among subsets of nodes is still not yet fully explored. To this end, encompassing...article 2023

Paradies, G.L. (author), Usmani, O.A. (author), Lamboo, S. (author), van den Brink, R.W. (author)The widespread adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is a crucial element in climate policy for the transport sector. To design effective policies to stimulate the uptake of BEVs, it is essential to understand the barriers and drivers that influence consumers' choices for a BEV. To this aim, we present a computational model named CODEC, a...article 2023

Geerts, D. (author), Medina, R. (author), van Sark, W. (author), Wilkins, S. (author)The electrification of the transport industry is rapidly becoming a solution to mitigate the greenhouse emissions problem. However, this electrification faces multiple challenges related to higher operational cost and limited charging capacity. To cope with these challenges, within the European project URBANIZED, an optimization algorithm has...conference paper 2022

Bakker, K. (author), Assen, S. (author), Rasia, A. (author), Barreau, N. (author), Weeber, A. (author), Theelen, M. (author)Partial shading of PV modules can lead to degradation of the shaded cells. The degradation originates from a reverse bias voltage over the shaded cells. In order to mitigate reverse bias damage in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) modules, a good understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing the reverse characteristic is required. In this study, a...article 2022

Dussi, S. (author), Octaviano, R. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P.S. (author)Predicting the degradation of the Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) performance well in advance to avoid its failure is a rewarding yet challenging task. The complex interdependencies with well-reservoir properties and between machine components influence ESP performance and ultimately can lead to different types of failure. Predictions based...conference paper 2022

Jin, Y. (author), Scherer, L. (author), Sutanudjaja, E.H. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Behrens, P. (author)Large numbers of China's thermal power plants are in water-stressed regions. Changes in the availability of water resources due to climate change may impact the vulnerability of regional and national electricity generation. Here we explore this vulnerability for coal-fired power units (CPUs) as the generation-type most exposed to climate risk....article 2022

Phillipson, F. (author), Chiscop, I. (author)Matching electricity demand and supply by decentralised generators will be very important in the near future, where more and more electricity has to be produced sustainably. Optimisation problems that address this problem often have quadratic objective functions or constraints, due to the quadratic nature of energy loss. Where classical solvers...conference paper 2022
