Voortman, R.L.B. (author)The costs of wind energy have to be reduced in order to be competitive with conventional methods to generate electricity. The tower costs contribute significantly to the costs of a wind turbine. This thesis aimed to suggest improvements in wind turbine tower design in comparison with industry standards nowadays in order to reduce the costs of...master thesis 2015

Noom, M.N. (author)A tethered wing can be used in two different ways, to lift payload or to provide traction power. The latter is the basis of several innovative technical applications, such as kite-assisted ship propulsion and pumping-kite wind energy conversion. This thesis presents a theoretical analysis of traction power generation by a tethered wing. The...master thesis 2013

Fremouw, M.A. (author)We do live in interesting times. Social, political and financial turmoil, peak oil and nuclear accidents all contribute to the realisation that perhaps things need to change in our energy system. Providing the right type of energy at the right place at the right time is of course the answer. As the potential yields of renewable energy sources...master thesis 2012

Ondejcik, V. (author)The project Transferium Almere 2.0 was developed in two separate but tightly connected stages. The networked urban solution and wind informed geometry of main Transferium volumes. The development of urban solution ran in fall term. The solution is reflexing changes needed in development of new cities’ extensions. The current master plans served...master thesis 2012

Van Kersbergen, D.J. (author)The main aim of the research is to passively use the on-site energy to create passive climate comfort. Usually this these passive strategies are not integrated into the design process but added to the building design later on when the building design is already finalized. The main topic of this building technology research is to integrate...master thesis 2011
