Status of energy utilization and factors affecting rural households' adoption of biogas technology in north-western Ethiopia Universiteit Gent
A Review of Fuel Cell Powertrains for Long-Haul Heavy-Duty Vehicles: Technology, Hydrogen, Energy and Thermal Management Solutions Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Long-haul heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and coaches, contribute to a substantial portion of the modern-day European carbon footprint and pose a major challenge in emissions reduction due to their energy-intensive usage. Depending on the hydrogen fuel source, the use of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) for long-haul applications has shown significant potential in reducing road freight CO2 emissions until the possible maturity of future ...
A Multi-Objective Co-Design Optimization Framework for Grid-Connected Hybrid Battery Energy Storage Systems: Optimal Sizing and Selection of Technology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper develops a multi-objective co-design optimization framework for the optimal sizing and selection of battery and power electronics in hybrid battery energy storage systems (HBESSs) connected to the grid. The co-design optimization approach is crucial for such a complex system with coupled subcomponents. To this end, a nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is used for optimal sizing and selection of technologies in the design ...
Phytoremediation, a sustainable remediation technology? Conclusions from a case study. I: Energy production and carbon dioxide abatement Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Gent
This study examines the renewable energy production of crops used for phytoremediation. Our analysis is based on a case study in the Campine region (Belgium and The Netherlands), where agricultural soils are diffusely contaminated with cadmium, lead, and zinc, with an enhanced risk for uptake of these metals in crops and leaching to the groundwater. However, the area has such a large extent (700 km2) that conventional remediation is not ...
Lithium-Ion Capacitor - Advanced Technology for Rechargeable Energy Storage Systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper presents the electrical and thermal behaviour of an advanced lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) based rechargeable energy storage systems. In the proposed study, an extended statistical analysis has been performed to evaluate the main electrical parameters such as resistance, power, capacitance, rate capabilities, variation between cells and thermal parameters. Based on the performed analysis, an electrical model has been developed for ...
Transitioning to energy efficient housing : drivers and barriers of intermediaries in heat pump technology Universiteit Gent
Phytoremediation, a sustainable remediation technology? II: Economic assessment of CO2 abatement through the use of phytoremediation crops for renewable energy production Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
Phytoremediation could be a sustainable remediation alternative for conventional remediation technologies. However, its implementation on a commercial scale remains disappointing. To emphasize its sustainability, this paper examines whether and how the potential economic benefit of CO2 abatement for different crops used for phytoremediation or sustainable land management purposes could promote phytotechnologies. Our analysis is based on a case ...
Transitioning to energy efficient housing: Drivers and barriers of intermediaries in heat pump technology Interuniversitair Micro-Electronica Centrum vzw Universiteit Gent
Since the Paris Agreement of 2015, 195 countries, including Belgium, have committed themselves to keep the earth from becoming warmer than 1,5 degrees C since pre-industrial levels. By building and renovating in a more sustainable way, greenhouse gasses can be contained. Previous studies already demonstrated the influence and decisive role of the individual homeowner in energy retrofitting. Recent research highlights that energy efficient ...
