Integrating renewable energy technologies which explore the potential of distributed energy resources plays a crucial role in future energy systems. Future systems need to increasingly withstand fluctuations in renewable energy input while minimizing system costs, energy supply and demand mismatches. Designing such systems is a complex task and tools need to assume a number of simplifications towards system operation to be computationally ...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, testing and detection efforts have been at the forefront of public health strategies. Starting late 2020, focus has greatly turned to genomic surveillance, due to the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants linked to higher transmissibility, disease severity and mortality. Surveying viral loads in municipal wastewater has demonstrated since relatively early in the pandemic to be a cost-efficient, ...
