Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Research has shown that, even though the indoor environmental conditions seem to comply with current guidelines and those conditions seem ‘comfortable’ enough, staying indoors is not good for our health. Reasons for this discrepancy might be the fact that these guidelines are based on single-dose response relationships to prevent negative...abstract 2023

Moradi Sepahvand, M. (author), Amraee, Turaj (author)This paper presents a multi-stage expansion model for the co-planning of transmission lines, battery energy storage (ES), and wind power plants (WPP). High penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) is integrated into the proposed model concerning renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policy goals. The possibility of bundling existing...journal article 2023

van de Kaa, G. (author)The paper provides an overview of determinants for the adoption of standards; a topic on which little research has been done so far. An extensive review and systematic analysis was conducted of the papers that have published on the topic. This resulted in a framework with 18 factors for the adoption of standards divided into 5 categories. A...review 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Saravanakumar, Karthikeyan (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)For a better understanding of the hydrotalcite-like phase with SEM-EDS microanalysis, the present research paid special attention to the data acquisition and interpretation of this technique. A lower Mg/Al ratio was obtained when using a higher accelerating voltage, and a beam energy of 10 kV was more appropriate than 15 kV for investigation...journal article 2023

Bohm, N.L. (author), Hoekstra, M.J. (author), van den Burg, L.P.J. (author), Reincke, M.M.O. (author)In this case study, we answer the question: what are design characteristics for a personal development line integrated in undergraduate engineering curricula? We investigated the development of such a line in a Bachelor of Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences in The Netherlands. We documented and analysed the preparation of and...conference paper 2023

Wang, X. (author), Baldi, S. (author), Feng, Xuewei (author), Wu, Changwei (author), Xie, Hongwei (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The vector field method was originally proposed to guide a single fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) towards a desired path. In this work, a non-uniform vector field method is proposed that changes in both magnitude and direction, for the purpose of achieving formations of UAVs. As compared to related work in the literature, the...journal article 2023

Gonzato, Sebastian (author), De Paepe, Michiel (author), Bruninx, K. (author), Delarue, Erik (author)The European Union (EU)'s resource adequacy framework consists of the reliability standard calculation, adequacy assessments and capacity remuneration mechanisms, three pillars which should conspire to deliver a realised adequacy in liberalised markets which is close to that which would be delivered by a central planner minimising total system...conference paper 2023

Kenis, Michiel (author), Delarue, Erik (author), Bruninx, K. (author), Dominguez, Fernando (author)The market integration of hybrid off-shore projects, consisting of wind farms and transmission assets connecting different market zones, requires re-examining bidding zone definitions. Policy makers consider separate off-shore bidding zones to optimally integrate off-shore wind farms in power systems. In this paper, we apply Advanced Hybrid...conference paper 2023

Keijzer, T. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), Sandberg, Henrik (author)Interconnections in modern systems make them vulnerable to adversarial attackers both by corrupting communication channels and compromising entire subsystems. The field of secure state estimation (SSE) aims to provide correct state estimation even when an unknown part of the measurement signals is corrupted. In this letter, we propose a...journal article 2023

Sun, Zhu (author), Fang, Hui (author), Yang, J. (author), Qu, Xinghua (author), Liu, Hongyang (author), Yu, Di (author), Ong, Yew Soon (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Recently, one critical issue looms large in the field of recommender systems - there are no effective benchmarks for rigorous evaluation - which consequently leads to unreproducible evaluation and unfair comparison. We, therefore, conduct studies from the perspectives of practical theory and experiments, aiming at benchmarking recommendation...journal article 2023

Flaschel, Moritz (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author)We extend the scope of our recently developed approach for unsupervised automated discovery of material laws (denoted as EUCLID) to the general case of a material belonging to an unknown class of constitutive behavior. To this end, we leverage the theory of generalized standard materials, which encompasses a plethora of important constitutive...journal article 2023

Zattoni Scroccaro, P. (author), Sharifi K., Arman (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)In the past few years, online convex optimization (OCO) has received notable attention in the control literature thanks to its flexible real-time nature and powerful performance guarantees. In this article, we propose new step-size rules and OCO algorithms that simultaneously exploit gradient predictions, function predictions and dynamics,...journal article 2023

Borja Rosales, L.P. (author), Scherpen, Jacquelien M.A. (author), Fujimoto, Kenji (author)In this article, we treat extended balancing for continuous-time linear time-invariant systems. We take a dissipativity perspective, thus, resulting in a characterization in terms of linear matrix inequalities. This perspective is useful for determining a priori error bounds. In addition, we address the problem of structure-preserving model...journal article 2023

Skovbekk, John (author), Laurenti, L. (author), Frew, Eric (author), Lahijanian, Morteza (author)Verifying the performance of safety-critical, stochastic systems with complex noise distributions is difficult. We introduce a general procedure for the finite abstraction of nonlinear stochastic systems with nonstandard (e.g., non-affine, non-symmetric, non-unimodal) noise distributions for verification purposes. The method uses a finite...journal article 2023
