Konsman, M.J. (author), Wijbrandi, W.E. (author), Huitema, G.B. (author)Energy Flexibility is the ability of smart devices to deviate from their normal energy producing or consuming behaviour, while still fulfilling their intended purpose, with the goal of contributing to the operation of the energy system. Energy Flexibility has the potential to counteract the mismatch between production and consumption of energy...conference paper 2020

van Bergen, F. (author), Tambach, T. (author), Pagnier, H. (author)Subsurface coal seams are generally considered as important potential geological media for underground storage of carbon dioxide, but this is a more complex option than other storage options. The required number of wells and the uncertainties due to the complexity were generally considered as main barriers and large-scale projects are hence...conference paper 2011

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Biomarkers are widely used to measure environmental impacts on marine species. For many biomarkers, it is not clear how the signal levels relate to effects on the whole organism. This paper shows how species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) can be applied to evaluate multiple biomarker responses in species assemblages. To our knowledge, the...article 2009
