van Noort, Siebren (author)The introduction of electric buses (EBs) is required in order to achieve global greenhouse emission goals. However, operating an electric bus fleet (EBF) requires careful consideration of both the mobility and energy systems in charging strategies. In literature and in real life many cases show careful consideration of only one of the systems...master thesis 2024

Wesseling, Yme (author)The EU strives to lower greenhouse gas emissions. To reach this goal, many energy intensive processes in the residential sector such as heating and transportation will be electrified using heat pumps and electric vehicles (EVs) respectively. Simultaneously, a transition of electricity generation to sustainable sources will take place,...master thesis 2023

Brouwers, Marcel (author)The electrification of modern-day society keeps increasing and the demand for electricity grows along with it. Technologies like EVs and heat pumps are both part of the new types of demand, while PV systems and wind farms are meant to be our main new sources of generation. Contrary to traditional resources connected to the electricity network,...master thesis 2022

Stecca, M. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Iyer, A.K. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Palensky, P. (author)This article discusses the application of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) as power redistributors in three-phase distribution grids as an add-on functionality to typical BESS applications, such as congestion management and energy arbitrage. Combining those ancillary services into a single power unit is not yet performed in practice but...journal article 2022

Fattaheian-Dehkordi, Sajjad (author), Rajaei, A. (author), Abbaspour, Ali (author), Fotuhi-Firuzabad, Mahmud (author), Lehtonen, Matti (author)The privatization of distribution systems has resulted in the development of multiple-microgrid (multiple-MG) systems where each microgrid independently operates its local resources. Moreover, the high integration of independent distributed energy sources could lead to operational issues such as grid congestion in future distribution systems....journal article 2022

Yu, Y. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)This paper benchmarks the performance of three practical electric vehicle (EV) charging scheduling methods relative to uncontrolled charging (UNC) in low-voltage (LV) distribution grids. The charging methods compared are the voltage droop method (VDM), price-signal-based method (PSM) and average rate method (ARM). Trade-offs associated with the...journal article 2022
