Yeh, Jefferson (author)Wind energy, generated by windfarms, is playing an increasingly critical role in meeting current and future energy demands. windfarms, however, face a challenge due to the inherent flaw of wake-induced power losses when turbines are located in close proximity. Wakes, characterized by regions of turbulence and lower wind speed, are created as air...bachelor thesis 2023

van Selm, Jasper (author)When multiple wind turbines are positioned close to one another, such as in a wind farm, wind turbines located downwind of other turbines are not 100% efficient due to wakes, negatively affecting the total power output of the wind farm. A way to mitigate the loss of power is to steer the wake away from the next turbine, which lowers the current...bachelor thesis 2023

Filimon, Mihai (author)The close proximity of wind turbines to one another in a wind farm can lead to inefficiency in terms of power production due to wake effects. One technique to mitigate the losses is to veer from their individual optimal direction. As such, the wakes can be steered away from downstream turbines in order to increase the overall power output. Multi...bachelor thesis 2023

Plămădeală, Ion (author)The wake effect which is turbulence behind a wind turbine created when it extracts energy negatively impacts the power output of the downstream turbines. Active Wake Control can mitigate this effect, by rotating some turbines away from the wind. Previous research applied single agent reinforcement learning to apply Active Wake Control, show- ing...bachelor thesis 2023

van der Schaaf, Guus (author)In wind farms wind turbines are often placed close to each other. Each turbine generates a turbulent wake field, this field negatively affects subsequent turbines. This can cost more than 12% efficiency. To decrease this loss we can steer the turbines away from the wind direction, this will decrease the individual turbine power output, but can...bachelor thesis 2023

Vilakathara, Arjun (author)Accurate segmentation of anatomical structures and abnormalities in medical images is crucial, but manual segmentation is time-consuming and automated approaches lack clinical accuracy. In recent years, active learning approaches that aim to combine automatic segmentation with manual input have gained attention in the field, aiming to reduce the...bachelor thesis 2023

van Marrewijk, Jonas (author)Segmentation of 3D medical images is useful for various medical tasks. However, fully automated segmentation lacks the accuracy required for medical purposes while manual segmentation is too time-consuming. Therefore, an active learning method can be used to generate an accurate segmentation using less user input. The active learning pipeline...bachelor thesis 2023

Hibbs, Patrick (author)Continuous Integration (CI) systems automate the building, testing, and possibly more. However, it is still unclear how CI should be implemented in different contexts. Therefore, this paper tries to answer the question "What metrics can be used to describe project activity", as part of a bigger study. We mined information from 500 repositories...bachelor thesis 2023

Figueira Comojo, Gregor (author)This research explores the correlation between chewing activities and non-chewing activities using an Arduino microcontroller. Chewing samples are recorded by attaching the microcontroller to the back of the jaw, underneath the ear. The microcontroller collects data from a microphone capturing audio data of chewing sounds, as well as an Inertial...bachelor thesis 2023

Zegers, Samuel (author)In several experiments, enzymes have shown an in increase in diffusivity in the presence of their substrate. The enhancement in diffusivity ranged from as low as 28% for urease to 80% in the case of alkaline phosphatase. There are two main competing theories. One asserts that catalytically driven boosts propel the enzyme forward in ‘leaps’,...bachelor thesis 2022

Vos, Jasper (author)In the field of Visible Light Sensing, light sensors are used to extract information from objects which do not actively communicate any information. Previous research within this field proposed the system called SolAR, and proved the possibility of using a solar cell as both a power source and an activity sensor. A wrist mounted solar cell...bachelor thesis 2022

Uno, Taichi (author)The interactions between human and machines are now common in our daily life. The audio data of human communication is a rich source of information, but it is con- sidered privacy-invasive for machines to listen to it. By reducing sampling frequency, it is possible to preserve privacy by making conversation unclear while still being possible to...bachelor thesis 2022
