Hoogendoorn, G. (author), van den Bos, W. (author), Polinder, H. (author)Wind turbine industry is growing and future predictions are promising. However, a shortage of installation vessels could influence this growth in offshore wind industry. Commonly, wind turbines are installed in components using a jack-up vessel. Occasionally, wind turbines are installed fully assembled. Lifting above the wind turbine is not...conference paper 2021

Tan, J. (author), Wang, X. (author), Jarquin Laguna, A. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Miedema, S.A. (author)Downsizing the Power Take-off (PTO) rating has been proven to be beneficial for decreasing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of wave energy converters (WECs). However, the linear permanent magnet (PM) generator has not yet been modelled and optimized in detail in previous feasibility studies. This paper extends the study of the PTO...conference paper 2021

Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Hanse, Izak (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)Due to their permeability, merchant and naval vessels distort Earth’s magnetic field which leaves a magnetic signature. These anomalies in the magnetic field may be detected by mines leaving the vessel exposed. To avoid detection by magnetic sensors, the vessels magnetic signature can be reduced in several ways. One of them is degaussing: a...conference paper 2020

Neijmeijer, Nout (author), Schulte, F. (author), Tierney, Kevin (author), Polinder, H. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Dynamic pricing can be used for better fleet distribution in free-floating vehicle sharing (FFVS), and thus increase utilization and revenue for the provider by reducing supply-demand asymmetry. Supply-demand asymmetry refers to the existence of an undersupply of vehicles at some locations at the same time as underutilization of vehicles at...conference paper 2020

Desmedt, Michiel (author), Dong, J. (author), Wani, F.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Polinder, H. (author)This paper analyses the electromechanical dynamics of the pole-piece rotors in a pseudo direct-drive wind turbine generator. The investigated generator has a rated power of 10 MW and was designed in the INNWIND.EU project. One way coupled finite element analysis (FEA) was used to calculate the rotor dynamic defections caused by...conference paper 2020

van Vlijmen, Bruis (author), Goudswaard, Reinier (author), Boere, Remco (author), Schneider, Thomas (author), Polinder, H. (author), Lavidas, G. (author)It is expected that several identical Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PAWECs) will be arranged in arrays to form a Wave Energy Farm. One of the key challenges in designing such a WEC array is their spatial configuration, as the WECs in the farm interact hydrodynamically with each other. This study focuses on different potential PAWEC...conference paper 2019

Lavidas, G. (author), Polinder, H. (author)To properly assess the energy and waves at a region, it is vital to obtain suitable long term metocean conditions. Although, wave buoys are a significant source of information they are not able to provide a detailed and complete resource assessment, as they have inherent spatiotemporal and recording limitations. Therefore, numerical wave models...conference paper 2019

Wani, F.M. (author), Shipurkar, U. (author), Dong, J. (author), Polinder, H. (author)Improving availability of tidal turbines has been identified as a key area to lower the levelized cost of energy from tides. One of the approaches suggested to achieve high reliability is to use a flooded permanent magnet (PM) generator. Flooded PM generators are designed to operate with a seawater filled stator-rotor gap in the generator. Using...conference paper 2019

Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)In order to avoid detection by sea mines, the magnetic signature of merchant and naval vessels can be reduced by running a current through a set of on-board copper coils. This process is called degaussing. Studies have shown that the volume, weight and energy losses of a degaussing system can be reduced by replacing the copper coils with high...conference paper 2019
