At the occasion of the inaugural address of Professor Zofia Lukszo, the Energy & Industry research group, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of Technology, is organizing a symposium on the theme of how to shape an “Inclusive Energy Transition”.

Professor Andrzej Stankiewicz (Process & Energy) and Andrzej Górak (Lodz University of Technology, Poland) have written the first book dedicated entirely to the area “Intensification of Biobased Processes”.

Future global warming will lead to an increase in ‘extreme sea levels’, with consequent flood risks to coastal infrastructure and human populations. An international research team from Italy, Greece, the Netherlands (TU Delft / Deltares) and the UK published this new research in Nature Communications.

Onderzoekers van Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) hebben ontdekt hoe schommelingen van wind- en zonne-energie storingen in electriciteitsnetwerken kunnen veroorzaken. Het wiskundig raamwerk ontwikkeld door de onderzoekers biedt ondersteuning bij het voorspellen van mogelijke stroomstoringen in het hoogspanningsnetwerk.

Het TU Delft Urban Energy Platform organiseerde op 30 mei het symposium Urban Energy Innovation. Het realiseren van een klimaat-neutrale gebouwde is een grote uitdaging. Op dit symposium werd besproken welk onderzoek en innovatie hiervoor nodig is.

At the 2018 PowerWeb conference experts gathered from research, industry, infrastructure, administration, and finance to exchange the latest findings, trends, results, and ideas.

Researchers have found that the bedrock below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is rising much more rapidly than expected, revealing a very different Earth structure than previously believed. This discovery has important implications in understanding climate changes in Antarctica. The team of researchers, from ten universities including TU Delft, report on their findings in Science on June 22th.
