Risk Pooling for Peer-to-Peer Insurance KU Leuven
Peer-to-peer insurance models, that jointly incorporate the forms of centralized insurer’s underwriting and decentralized peers’ risk sharing, are emerging. Under these innovative risk sharing forms, the risk is separated into two layers: the first below-deductible part is shared within a community, and the second above- deductible loss, exceeding the community’s risk-bearing capacity, is covered by an insurer. In this project, we plan to ...
SBO project with a primary economic finality aimed at the transfer to existing companies: SNIPPET: Secure aNd prIvacy-friendly Peer-to-Peer Electricity Trading Vrije Universiteit Brussel

SNIPPET: Secure aNd prIvacy-friendly Peer-to-Peer Electricity Trading KU Leuven
Peer-to-peer electricity markets allow users to trade electricity among themselves thereby increasing their financial well-being. Moreover, electricity exchange between nearby users can significantly reduce electricity loss on the grid. Bids and offers in such markets can be created from a heterogeneous set of generation and storage devices and flexible loads.
However, such markets also create opportunities for malicious players to ...

Smart Distribution: Multi-Agent System Based Distributed Controlfor Peer-to-Peer Microgrids KU Leuven
Control of distribution networks are facing significant challenges with the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources. The focus of this thesis is to develop active voltage control systems provided by photovoltaic (PV) and PV-battery inverters to mitigate or eliminate voltage problems of distribution networks. Various approaches that combine local and centralized voltage control techniques have been proposed in literature. These ...
The Anti-Money Laundering Regulation of Crypto-assets in Europe. A Critical Analysis. KU Leuven
The thesis studies the relationship between anti-money laundering regulation and crypto-assets. The introduction of these instruments in 2009, and of the underlying blockchain technology, has sparked a keen interest by the doctrine and regulators to respond to the emerging challenges. Significantly, the new market architecture proposed by crypto-assets, with the introduction of disintermediated and decentralized (so-called peer-to-peer) ...
Connecting advisers to boost interactive innovation in agriculture and forestry Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
