Windmills and solar panels are great ways to generate green energy. But what if there is no wind? How can we stock up on solar energy to get through a cloudy day? Hadi Hajibeygi is determined to find the answer to this burning question. He looks into how to use our subsurface as a battery to safely store and retrieve hydrogen.

The rapid transition to renewable energy threatens to cause major problems to the very expensive electricity grid in the Netherlands. In his quest for solutions, Professor Peter Palensky is now working on a “digital twin” to make it possible to study the grid effectively.

TU Delft researcher Dr. Rene Pecnik has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for his research into energy conversion

Deze zomer meldde het IPCC dat de gemiddelde temperatuur wereldwijd sinds 1850 met 1,1°C is toegenomen, maar dat de toename boven land ruim een halve graad hoger ligt. Hoe somberder de voorspellingen over de gevolgen van klimaatverandering worden, hoe serieuzer wetenschappers nadenken over geo-engineering, ofwel het kunstmatig op grote schaal afkoelen van de wereld door bijvoorbeeld deeltjes in de stratosfeer te brengen.

On 7-8 November Sergio Grammatico from the 3mE faculty will be the keynote speaker at the Energy-Open Workshop 2019 in Groningen. He will talk about "Equilibrium seeking in electricity markets".
