North-sea Energy Plan for Transition to sUstainable wiNd Energy KU Leuven
High-voltage direct current (HVDC), applied in point-to-point links or meshed grids, is the only technically and economically feasible solution for the transition towards a future system with a large share of offshore wind energy. However, the technology implies a paradigm shift for the Belgian grid with respect to transmission system planning, protection and control. This project aims at building up the knowledge needed around these grid ...
Facilitating the transition to a sustainable energy system through consumer-centric energy market design: a game-theoretic modelbased approach KU Leuven
In this project, we contribute to the scientific literature on energy market design in three fields:
First, most future consumer-centric electricity market designs require extensive communication between consumers and, e.g., a market operator on, e.g., behind-the-meter flexibility and detailed load data. This may lead to excessive communication requirements and privacy concerns. We study alternative, pareto-efficient market designs, ...
Transition in Energy through a directional role for the Tertiary Sector Ghent University
TERTS stands for Transition in Energy through a Directional role for the Tertiary Sector. The partnership wants to achieve an energy transition in the tertiary sector
a unburdening process (facilitating and stimulating) from local authorities and / or other actors (eg interest groups, etc.) to make private investments in energie efficiency (EE) and to make the use of renewable energy (RE) effective.
The objective of the project ...
Body weight, body composition and energy balance related behaviour during the transition to parenthood KU Leuven
Understanding critical periods during which people are at risk to gain weight or display unhealthy changes in energy balance related behaviour (EBRB), i.e. eating, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, can facilitate the development of weight gain prevention programs. Although the transition to parenthood is associated with pregnancy-related weight gain and retention in women, evidence on the effect of having a first child on men’s body ...

Advanced Data Analytics ensuring cost-efficient security of supply and balancing throughout the BELgian energy transition KU Leuven
To ensure a reliable and profitable energy transition, investments such as
operational decisions must be based on representative models that draw
fully part of the current DIGITALIZATION of modern electrical systems.
The main objective of the ADABEL project is to take advantage of the available data
(mainly public) to improve the assessment procedures of
SUITABILITY, short-term BALANCING and SAFETY
SUPPLY (linked ...
Opportunities and pitfalls for a farm in the energy transition KU Leuven
The emergence of agrivoltaics, the dual use of land for both crop production and electricity generation using PV modules, creates opportunities for farmers to generate additional income by supporting the energy transition. A number of test sites, with different structures and different modules, have already been built in Flanders, but the first measurement results show that construction and implementation need to be improved. This PhD ...
Facilitating the transition to green energy through the development of high impact, reproducible, and explainable data science tools. KU Leuven
The latest developments in artificial intelligence methods and models can help address different facets of the energy transition and climate change mitigation. There is a large need for correct alignment of supply and demand of renewables. How do we operate charging infrastructure in a way that does not overwhelm the electric grid? What will increasing amounts of renewables mean for the power grid? And how does climate change affect the ...
Hydrogen Storage and Carriage as Opportunity for Renewable Energy Transition Ghent University
To reduce Europe-wide CO2 emissions and to escape the dependence of European countries on fossil fuels, it will be necessary to
replace current primarily fossil energy sources with more climate-friendly, renewable energy sources. Hydrogen offers such a
possibility to ensure Europe-wide energy production through renewable energy sources. However, the use of hydrogen as an energy
carrier also requires a safe and well-developed ...
