This report describes the creation and use of a database for energy storage technologies which was developed in conjunction with Netbeheer Nederland and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences. This database can be used to make comparisons between a selection of storage technologies and will provide a method for ranking energy storage technology suitability based on the desired application requirements. In addition, this document describes the creation of the energy storage label which contains detailed characteristics for specific storage systems. The layout of the storage labels enables the analysis of different storage technologies in a comprehensive, understandable and comparative manner. A sampling of storage technology labels are stored in an excel spreadsheet and are also compiled in Appendix I of this report; the storage technologies represented here were found to be well suited to enable flexibility in energy supply and to potentially provide support for renewable energy integration [37] [36]. The data in the labels is presented on a series of graphs to allow comparisons of the technologies. Finally, the use and limitations of energy storage technologies are discussed. The results of this research can be used to support the Dutch enewable Energy Transition by providing important information regarding energy storage in both technically detailed and general terms. This information can be useful for energy market parties in order to analyze the role of storage in future energy scenarios and to develop appropriate strategies to ensure energy supply.

Van Hall Larenstein is een duurzame University of Applied Sciences, waar studenten worden opgeleid tot ambitieuze en innovatieve professionals en praktijkgericht onderzoek wordt uitgevoerd om een belangrijke bijdrage te leveren aan een duurzame wereld. Samen met partners uit het werkveld draagt VHL met onderzoek en kennisvalorisatie bij aan innovatieve en duurzame ontwikkelingen. De focus ligt hierbij op circulaire landbouw, water, gezond voedsel & gezonde voeding, bodem en biodiversiteit. Vanuit de verschillende lectoraten zijn deze thema’s uitgewerkt in onderzoekslijnen. Thema’s die de uitdagingen raken die onderdeel zijn van dé internationale duurzaamheidsagenda voor 2030: de Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). In dit boekje staan diverse aansprekende en illustratieve voorbeelden van afgesloten en lopende projecten uit binnen- en buitenland die gekoppeld zijn aan de SDG’s. Resultaten leveren niet alleen een bijdrage hieraan, maar ook aan het onderwijs.

This paper extends the 'go-with-the-flow' method to explore enclosed environments, like oil reservoirs, pipe lines that transport liquids, and industrial tanks for processing chemicals, where sensing nodes cannot establish communication with the external world. Nonetheless, large quantities of highly miniaturized, thus power-constrained sensor nodes are injected into these environment and flow through them along with the medium, monitoring their environment but also reconstructing their time-varying position from mutual communication, but without any communication to external base stations or beacons. The relative trajectories of nodes yield essential insights of the fluid flow in the otherwise inaccessible environment. We present a functional implementation of a ranging protocol accommodating size and energy constraints. Our simulation chain models node movement from different types of flow dynamics. It comprehensively assesses not only the performance of the communication and ranging protocols, but also of the reconstruction algorithm. Our assessments cover a wide range of different environments and flow profiles, including highly dynamic ones.
