Demand response in a container terminal: A stochastic optimization of the operational planning considering energy consumption

Seaport operators are becoming more environmentally conscious and are looking to electrify their terminals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to higher energy-related costs and more congestion on the electricity grid. This thesis investigates the potential of demand response as a viable strategy to reduce energy-related costs....

On the fall process of rock during Subsea Rock Installation: 1-D modelling of the falling process in the fallpipe

Scarcity of (green) energy resources drives mankind further offshore and towards deeper waters. Protection of subsea infrastructure is of eminent importance in these environments. The key parameter to have a good control over the installation of rock is the falling time. For larger water depths up to 1200 meters, the accuracy of the falling time...

Residual-based variational multiscale modeling in a discontinuous Galerkin framework

In this work the residual-based variational multiscale method is presented in a discontinuous Galerkin framework. This so-called ‘DG-RVMS’ strategy is developed, extensively verified, and tested on a more complex case.<br/><br/>The proposed DG-RVMS paradigm consists of three principle components. First, the perelement weak form is coupled by...
