The Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth (2013, Social and Economic Council) is a long term policy perspective, to bind a sustainable energy supply to sustainable economic growth in the Netherlands. In this agreement, two major targets are directly related to energy. Firstly, an annual saving in final energy consumption of 1,5% is to be achieved, resulting in a saving of 100 PetaJoule by 2020....
Electrification of transportation, communication, working and living continues worldwide. Televisions, telephones, servers are an important part of everyday life. These loads and most sustainable sources as well, have one thing in common: Direct Current. The Dutch research and educational programme ‘DC — road to its full potential’ studies the impact of feeding these appliances from a DC grid. An...
As the impact of our actions on the climate become more and more clear and environmental awareness is rising, the quest for increasing efficiency and lower environmental impact becomes very important. Efficiency is particularly important in the field of electricity consumption, which keeps on rising as electrification of our transportation, houses, offices and more continues worldwide. These loads...
Instead of using a passive AC power grid for low power applications, this paper describes a smart plug for DC networks that is capable of providing the correct power to a device (up to 100W) and that allows for communication between different plugs and monitoring of energy consumption across the DC network using the Ethernet protocol in conjunction with a signal modulator to adapt the signals to the...
Electrification of transportation, communication, working and living continues worldwide. Televisions, telephones, servers are an important part of everyday life. These loads and most sustainable sources as well, have one thing in common: Direct Current. Together, they change the behavior of our electricity grid, not all effects are beneficial. In densely populated areas the AC transport and distribution...
