Expansion EVIV - LEAP to a model for long-term exploration of the Flemish energy system. University of Antwerp
Residential heating using heat pumps and hot water storage tanks - Tank sizing to minimize environmental impact in a renewable energy context KU Leuven
Global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission is expected to have long lasting effects on the environment, ecosystems and human society in the near future unless emissions are decreased. Electrifying residential heating loads through the use of heat pumps, can contribute to reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions. The addition of a dedicated thermal energy storage tank can provide additional flexibility to the ...

The essential modeling challenges towards an optimized electricity generation system in a CO2-constrained society. KU Leuven
The research project studies the pictorial roots of the hermits’ representations in earlier Eastern and Western art, their textual sources and the interplay with their cultural context in the years 1250 to 1550 along four axes: (a) the hermits’ solitude between contemplation, vision and temptation, (b) hermits’ relationship to nature, culture and society, (c) hermitic life and the ideal of poverty and self-limitation, and (d) solitude and ...
Plasmonic metal nanostructures for enhanced light-matter interaction ate the nanoscale. KU Leuven
Grid-integrated charging systems for electric vehicles. KU Leuven
The number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) on the road is growing significantly, which allows to reduce the consumption of greenhouse gas emitting fossil fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. This is due to the increased primary energy efficiency of electrically powered vehicles compared to conventional vehicles on the one hand, and the primary fuel flexibility for electricity generation on the other hand. The absence of tailpipe emissions ...
Inverter control in smart grids. KU Leuven
The integration of intermittent renewable energy sources in the distribution network is a challenge for the network operators. In the past, the operation of the low voltage network needed limited attention from the operators. They could guarantee a sufficient voltage quality with a limited effort. The introduction of solar panels has created new network situations. Energy can flow from the low voltage network towards the medium voltage ...
