Model Predictive Control and Innovative System Integration of GEOTABS in Hybrid Low Grade Thermal Energy Systems - Hybrid MPC GEOTABS Ghent University
The MPC-GT project brought thogether a transdisciplinary team of SMEs, large industry and research institutes, experienced in research and application of design and control systems in the combined building and energy world. Based on prior research, supported by (joint) EU and national projects, and practical experience the bottlenecks where identified that prevent at this moment a real breakthrough of geothermal heat pumps (GEO-HP) combined ...
The operation of future electricity generation systems: Matching existing and novel energy conversion technologies for optimal system operation KU Leuven
The increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources puts substantial stress on the electricity generation system’s secure operation. Flexible operation of power plants and other means of flexibility will be required. Dedicated models are required to optimize the reliable functioning of such future low−carbon systems. Critical research progress is envisaged in upgrading and developing new operational ...

Integrating 'emerging markets' into the global Financial system: Urban geographics of securitization in the Gulf Region Ghent University
In light of the growing financial geography literature, this project studies the integration of U+2018emergingU+2019 Gulf markets into global financial markets. In particular, the project apllies the U+2018securitization chainU+2019 concept, which analyzes the geographies and practices of actors involved in the production of securitized assets, and analyzes the consequences of the resulting integration for Gulf cities.
