About
The DC Power Laboratory For some time now, research has been conducted at The Hague University of Applied Sciences on the use of Direct Current. The use of Direct Current will play an important role in the energy transition. To raise awareness on this subject among students, internships and graduation assignments are offered within the DC Power Laboratory of the research group Energy in Transition at THUAS. As young researchers, students are given the opportunity to tackle various issues in order to make the transition from Alternating Current to Direct Current as smooth as possible. If you are interested in a challenging and exciting assignment or looking for a collaboration with a focus on a sustainable future, please contact us.
