Mesh generation is the cornerstone of numerical simulation. Block-structured meshes, made of large quadrilateral or hexahedral blocks, are bound to dominate the scene as they allow to leverage hyper-efficient numerical methods (high-order finite elements, or GPU-ready finite differences). Yet,...

In the current evolving distribution grid, microgrids are emerging as valuable tools that can facilitate the integration of renewable energies. In recent years, DC microgrids have garnered interest due to several advantages. These advantages include fewer conversions, the absence of reactive...

The global imperative to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions necessitates adaptive energy transition strategies. This thesis examines uncertainty-aware energy transition pathways, focusing on the Belgian energy system. The research aims to understand how varying degrees of...

With climate change, human societies must phase out fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels are versatile energy sources. They are present everywhere in our energy systems and daily lives. Studying fossil-free energy systems is complex as it must integrate all energy-consuming sectors and consider...
