City of Innovations – book series

The elective course ‘City of Innovations Project’ running in Q3 on a yearly base at TU Delft is led by the group of Complex Projects at the Department of Architecture. The results from the students’ work is collected into a book series by TU Delft Open Publishing. The course reflects upon architectural design strategies (stations) in response to mobility, energy and environment transitions. For the last three years, the City of Rotterdam is the main collaborator and test-bed for the explorations. City of Innovations | TU Delft OPEN Books CoI vol.1 ‘Living Stations: The Design of Metro Stations in the (east flank) metropolitan areas of Rotterdam’ is the result of the course ‘City of Innovations Project’ 19/20. The Grand Paris Express metro project in France has inspired the course’s approach. Following the critical essays on the strategic role of the infrastructural project for city development interventions, the ‘10 Visions X 5 Locations’ chapter is a systematization of the work of 35 master’s students with input from designers of the City of Rotterdam and experts and academic from the University of Gustave Eiffel in Paris. You can download the book here: Living Stations: The Design of Metro Stations in the (east flank) metropolitan areas of Rotterdam | TU Delft OPEN Books CoI vol.2 ‘Inclusive Stations: Gates into the city of Rotterdam’ is the result of the course ‘City of Innovations Project’ 20/21. The course has been focused on three station locations which act as gateways to the city center of Rotterdam: Meijersplein Airport station, Rotterdam Alexander rail-metro station and Slinge metro station. The ‘6 Visions X 3 Locations’ is a systematization of the work of 27 masters students with input from designers of the City of Rotterdam, Delta Metropool Association and De Zwarte Hond. You can download the book here: Inclusive Stations: Gates into the city of Rotterdam | TU Delft OPEN Books CoI vol.3 ‘Transit stations: sub-centres in Rotterdam Zuid’ is the result of the course ‘City of Innovations Project’ 21/22 at TU Delft Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, led by the group of Complex Projects at the Department of Architecture. It is connected to the research project Walk-In (acronym of Widening sustAinable mobiLity networKs: Impact on Nodes) financed by NWO and part of the KIEM GoCi program. The book contains 7-scenarios for Rotterdam Zuid area. Students presented those research and design scenarios to the project partners of Walk-In and they learned from their expertise throughout the course. Those are the City of Rotterdam, Delta Metropool Association, De Zwarte Hond, PosadMaxwan, Mecanoo, Bureau Spoorbouwmeester, I&M, Prorail with the collaboration of the University of Gustave Eiffel. By doing so, students contributed to the objective of Walk-In: to investigate the potential of suburban stations in transition in the context of the low car inner city of Rotterdam and to develop generic guidelines and spatial solutions for the integration of sustainable mobility with public space and mixed urban functions and services.

Stations of the Future

The "Stations of the future" project is being framed within the context of two rapidly growing developing metropolitan areas in The Netherlands and in France: the Randstad and Métropole du Grand Paris. Several activities have been initiated by Amsterdam Institute for Advanced MetropolitanSolutions (AMS Institute), Delft University of Technology (Delft Deltas Infrastructure Mobility Initiative and Complex Projects) and University of Paris Est: a 2-day workshop on Stations of the Future/Gares du futur in Paris at Atelier Néerlandais in Paris and the international summer school “Integrated Mobility Challenges in Future Metropolitan Area”at AMS Institute and TU Delft. Stations of the Future/Gares du futur seminar was organized in collaboration with the Embassy of the Netherlands in Paris, Atelier Néerlandais, TU Delft (DIMI) and La Fabrique de la Cité. During the event, we addressed several issues within the scope of Le Grand Paris Express. Together with the « Randstad » networks in the Netherlands, this seminar focused on a debate on several case studies in both metropolitan areas to understand the role of station hubs (intermodal nodes) in these areas. During the joint French-Dutch event, we focused on topics like « station as inter modal-node », « station as destination » and « station as data center », including a debate on: business cases of rail-metro stations, public space and architecture, densification and programming of station areas, pedestrian flows management and the integration of data. More information can be found in the full program. Photo Credits: Bart Koetsier © The Integrated Mobility Challenges in Future Metropolitan Area Summer School extended the debate among young professionals and international students by looking at an important rail-metro node in Amsterdam, Sloterdijk Station: a crucial hub in the metropolitan area for mobility and exchange, and catalyst for urban developments. The main question was: which approaches and scenarios can be tested and applied to these intermodal nodes, particularly when dealing with lack of space and growing number of users?

A key solution to grid congestion

On behalf of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, researchers Kenneth Brunninx and Simon Tindemans are handing over a Position Paper to the Dutch Parliament on 14 November 2024, with a possible solution to the major grid capacity problems that are increasingly cropping up in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is unlikely to meet the 2030 climate targets, and one of the reasons for this is that large industry cannot switch to electricity fast enough, partly because of increasingly frequent problems around grid capacity and grid congestion. In all likelihood, those problems will actually increase this decade before they can decrease, the researchers argue. The solution offered by the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute researchers is the ‘flexible backstop’. With a flexible backstop, the current capacity of the power grid can be used more efficiently without sacrificing safety or reliability. A flexible backstop is a safety mechanism that automatically and quickly reduces the amount of electricity that an electric unit can draw from the grid (an electric charging station or a heat pump) or deliver (a PV installation). It is a small device connected or built into an electrical unit, such as a charging station or heat pump, that ‘communicates’ with the distribution network operator. In case of extreme stress on the network, the network operator sends a signal to the device to limit the amount of power. Germany recently introduced a similar system with electric charging stations. The backstop would be activated only in periods of acute congestion problems and could help prevent the last resort measure, which is cutting off electricity to users. ‘Upgrading the electricity network remains essential, but in practice it will take years. So there is a need for short-term solutions that can be integrated into long-term planning. We, the members of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, call on the government, network operators and regulator to explore the flexible backstop as an additional grid security measure,’ they said. The entire Paper can be read here .

Simon Tindemans is Associate Professor in the Intelligent Electrical Power Grids group at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. His research interests include uncertainty and risk management for power grids.

25 year celebration of formal collaboration between Delft University of Technology and the University of Campinas

On 25 October 2024 we celebrated 25 years of formal collaboration between Delft University of Technology and the University of Campinas. What began as a project to exchange some students in chemical engineering has now grown to a multifaceted and broad academic collaboration which accumulated into 24 joint research projects (>20 M Euro); 16 advanced courses and 15 Doctors with a Dual Degree PhD. Patricia Osseweijer, TU Delft Ambassador Brazil explained, “We are proud to show and reflect on this special day the added value we created resulting from our joint activities. The lessons we learned demonstrate that especially continuity of funds and availability for exchanges has contributed to joint motivation and building trust which created strong relations. This is the foundation for academic creativity and high-level achievements.” The program presented showcases of Dual Degree projects; research activities and education. It discussed the future objectives and new fields of attention and agree on the next steps to maintain and strengthen the foundation of strong relations. Telma Franco, Professor UNICAMP shared that “joint education and research has substantially benefitted the students, we see that back in the jobs they landed in,” while UNICAMP’s Professor Gustavo Paim Valenca confirmed that “we are keen to extend our collaboration to more engineering disciplines to contribute jointly to global challenges” Luuk van der Wielen highlighted that “UNICAMP and TU Delft provide valuable complementary expertise as well as infrastructures to accelerate research and innovation. Especially our joint efforts in public private partnerships brings great assets” To ensure our future activities both University Boards have launched a unique joint program for international academic leadership. This unique 7-month program will accommodate 12 young professors, 6 from each university. The programme began on 4 November 2024 in Delft, The Netherlands.

Explainer: Ice Melt and Antarctica

It is most unlikely to happen, but if all the ice in Antarctica were to melt, the sea level would rise 57 metres. That would put the Netherlands almost completely under water. For a long time, scientists thought this was impossible: the South Pole is unassailable. It turns out otherwise. Our PhD candidate Sophie de Roda Husman investigates the real situation and explains that one fragmenting ice shelf triggers a series of events that accelerate the melting process in this movie from Universiteit van Nederland. For her doctorate Sophie created a historical record of Antarctic surface melt that is high-resolution in both space and time, by gathering a large amount of data with remote sensing techniques. Watch the movie (in Dutch):

Switch from Qualtrics to Microsoft Forms

A new platform for creating and managing surveys The current survey creation and management platform, Qualtrics, will soon be phased out. Microsoft Forms will be the new platform for collecting data through surveys for the time being. A tender for TU-wide survey software will be launched soon. Why this change? Qualtrics is being phased out due to the doubling of costs. As an alternative, Microsoft Forms survey software offers better integration with our existing systems, a higher level of security and greater ease of use. This will make it easier and more efficient for everyone to create and complete surveys. What does this mean for you? Qualtrics will only be supported for current surveys. In fact, once Qualtrics is discontinued, it will no longer be possible to retrieve or migrate data from this platform. It is therefore important to migrate any current or upcoming surveys to Microsoft Forms as soon as possible. All use of Qualtrics must be closed and archived by 1 July 2025. Tender A tender for TU-wide survey software will be launched soon. Do you have requirements you would like to share? Let us know at projectsurveytool-esa@tudelft.nl .
