Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

This module’s theory consists of four clips on availability, apart from the introduction video by Margot Weijnen.

Afterwards, Rudi Hakvoort discusses quality of supply, as well as the regulation that comes with it. Lastly, Geert Deconinck explains the concept of a smart grid, and what challenges with respect to availability in this new future technology.

In the first clip of this section Aad Correljé discusses different sources of energy, and how the availability of that specific source of energy is secured. Also, three crucial elements of the provision are outlined.
