Oxy-fuel gas cutting is the most widely applied industrial thermal cutting process due to its various benefits such as low cost equipment, versatility and flexibility in terms of manual or mechanized operation. It is employed in cutting mild steel plates with thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 250mm, to manufacture heavy equipment such as...

In this MSc. thesis, state estimation for a nanosatellite-class reaction wheel has been investigated. Two LPV observers, using different sensor information, have been synthesized. The performance of the designed observers has been evaluated using a detailed simulation of the reaction wheel (including disturbances that occur during the reaction...

Nourishments are considered to be a popular soft measure against coastal erosion. In the Netherlands, the concept of a localized mega nourishment has been introduced as an innovative approach, aiming to counteract the anticipated enhanced coastal erosion. The positive results of the Sand Engine implementation lead the way for applying the mega...

Fixed support structures for offshore wind turbines are commonly used for shallow water (till 45 meters). In many countries shallow-waters are rare. Floating support structures may be the solution for these areas. Many concepts have been developed but three concepts have been analyzed (spar, semi-submergible and the tension leg platform (TLP))...

Gas injection processes suffer from poor volumetric sweep efficiency due to phenomena such as viscous fingering caused by density contrast between the injected gas and the displaced fluid, channeling due to heterogeneities in the reservoir and gravity override due to the inherent lower density of gas. One possible way to overcome these negative...

The Pd-based metal membranes have been focused on many studies, because they are the most promising candidates for hydrogen separation. If Pd-based membranes are designed in nanoscale, then the introduced high volume fraction of grain boundaries can act as fast diffusion paths for hydrogen atoms that leading to an increase of hydrogen separation...

With most of the current research in quadrotor Loss-Of-Control (LOC) being focussed on specific failure cases e.g. sensor faults and Single-Rotor Failure (SRF), the growth that is expected in the drone industry will not be able to be sustained, in regards to the safety of individuals in urban areas. Without an assurance of reliability regarding...

Calibration of groundwater models can be done manually by comparing the measured and computed groundwater heads or automatically using algorithms which do the work for you. Modules for this purpose are included in or linked externally to traditional groundwater modelling software and used. One such module PEST (Parameter ESTimation) uses the...

In recent years, the offshore wind industry has grown significantly. The wind turbines are constructed in wind farms, and are serviced with relatively small crew transfer vessels. These vessels transport repair crews from the mainland to the farms and back within a day. One of the big challenges is that these transits can cause motion sickness....

3D city models are now common planning and analysis tools. Urban vegetation as a feature in these models, however, is neglected overshadowed by the focus on buildings, so its inclusion in 3D city models is often symbolic. On the other hand, urban vegetation improves the comfort and social well being of a city’s inhabitants and is a resource for...

The search for new sources of ancillary services and the projected demand for hydrogen as a medium of energy storage has aroused considerable interest in the use of large scale electrolysers for power system ancillary services. As the number of large scale electrolysers is projected to grow, it is important that the dynamics of these plants are...

The continuously increasing population within cities imposes the future challenges related to planning and managing the sustainable environment, where people’s health and wellbeing is prioritized. Currently more than half of the world’s population live in cities which results in the rise of the human footprint, affecting the local climate....

At the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris in 2015, ambitious goals for the worldwide CO2 emissions were set. To achieve these goals, a huge reduction in CO2 emissions must be realized. For the energy market, the current aim is to use renewable electricity instead of fossil fuels. However, there are multiple sectors where...

This thesis discusses the morphological modelling of the gravel revetment on artificial composite beaches. A composite beach is a combination of a sandy lower beach and a gravel upper beach. These beaches are found in nature, but can also be created artificially by placement of a gravel structure on a sandy beach. Artificial composite beaches...

Transitioning to cleaner sources of energy and improving the efficiency of power generators are crucial in combating global warming. Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) when coupled to heat emitting power generators allows for waste heat recovery; thus increasing the engine overall efficiency and reducing atmospheric pollution. Additionally,...

Many robotic systems rely on laser ranging sensors to navigate and map their environment. As robots are getting more advanced, smaller and cheaper, their sensors need to decrease in size and cost, while increasing their reliability and accuracy. Current laser-based sensors have difficulty to meet these properties. They are either large,...

The COBRAcable project is one of the major interconnectors being constructed in the North Sea, connecting the Netherlands with Denmark. It is a 325 km submarine cable which will have the ability to transfer 700 MW. The importance of the interconnector is manifold: to facilitate the exchange of renewable energy coming from the onshore Danish...
