Research Group Energy in Transition
Around one-third of our national energy consumption takes place in buildings for heating, cooling, lighting and electrical equipment. But in spite of all the clever gadgets, innovations and creativity, gas consumption in homes built in 2010 is no lower than in homes from 1995. How can we ensure that sustainability is more than just a slogan or hype? And how can we truly make the entire energy chain sustainable?
The research group is developing knowledge related to the ‘greenification’ of the energy chain in the built environment. Its focus is on system modelling and simulation for energy and indoor climate systems. Models are developed, tested and optimised for practical and educational use and all focus on buildings, greenhouse and otherwise, as well as on energy supply issues in the built environment.

Peter van Duijsen
Prof. Dr. Peter van Duijsen [Prof. of Practice, IIT Guwahati, India] has worked with computer simulation and power electronics for nearly 35 years. After receiving his Masters in Electrical Engineering, and working at the Technical University of Delft, he founded Simulation Research and developed the simulation program CASPOC. He received a PhD degree in 2003 in the field of Modeling and Simulation of Power Electronic Systems. Currently he heads the research and development department at Simulation Research. From 2013 until 2019 he was part-time researcher at the Technical University of Delft where the focus is on electric machine control, wireless power transfer for EV charging and DC grids for Fast Charging. Since 2008 he is a lecturer at the Korean University of Technology, since 2020 Researcher at the DC-LAB at the THUAS University of Applied Sciences in Delft and appointed as Professor oP at the IIT-Guwahati-India since 2021. Dr. Van Duijsen co-authored several textbooks in the field of Power Electronics, Drives, Solar, Wind and electric Vehicles, is involved in the development of educational training hardware in the field of renewable energy and holds a Patent on wireless charging of eBikes. Research is done on all aspects of the application of power electronics in DC grids: building power converters, defining control methods and testing various applications.
