The MRO market currently spans around 9.5% of the total operating cost of an airline. Of this, 70% is covered by heavy-maintenance. Reduction of these costs and improving efficiency could, therefore, be significant for an airline. A possible solution is the optimization of the long-term schedule of heavy-maintenance checks. Current approaches...

To cope with the current problems in the construction industry, project managers and scholars seek new methods to turn the tide. Many scholars blame traditional management approaches for cost overruns and delays occurring in current projects. To find solutions, project managers introduce tools from various sectors that have coped with similar...

The volatile production of renewable energy sources is often considered a key issue in future sustainable energy systems. Drawing on microgrid research, we argue that the potential synergy between microgrid energy management and provision of flexibility services to the wider grid could be further explored. In addition, the trade-off between cost...

The past decade has seen a continuous increase of Earth observation missions, since they are regarded as an important tool to address global problems such as climate change or disaster mitigation. A commercial trend exists now towards higher resolution imagery, which drives the use of agile satellites. Nevertheless, a disadvantage of agile...

Synchronous systems waste a lot of power in the clock tree, and must be designed based on the worst case scenario in terms of speed. Asynchronous circuits offer relief to these problems, by replacing clock signals with handshakes which only charge when data is being transferred, and delay signals which may adapt more easily to variance in speed...

This Thesis proposes an optimisation model to minimize operational cost of a fleet of electric thin-haul aircraft under a minimum RPK (Revenue-Passenger Kilometer) constraint. A solution that minimises cost per RPK can be found by varying the minimum RPK level. The solutions describes how many aircraft are needed, as well as a schedule for each...

Efficient management and propagation of temporal constraints is important for temporal planning as well as for scheduling. During plan development, many solvers employ a heuristic-driven backtracking approach, over the course of which they maintain a so-called Simple Temporal Network (STN) of events and constraints. Recent research has shown...

Recent trends in studying the brain activity have attracted interest in the simulation of neurons to understand the brain functionality. However, these simulations are computationally intensive and time consuming, which limits this study. High-performance FPGA-based platforms are being utilized to accelerate these simulations. However, the...

Outage scheduling for maintenance in asset management of electrical transmission and distribution system plays an important role in power system reliability. For instance, failure probability of transmission line may change from time to time due to exogenous conditions. Impact of failure or service interruption can be described by using...

Cloud gaming is a new paradigm that allows users to play games in the cloud and stream them to a thin client. While there is little research about cloud gaming, containerization technologies such as Docker could provide a virtualization alternative to Virtual Machines, as these suffer from overhead and GPU pass-through constraints. With Rapture,...

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are integrated with the electricity grid have proven to be a suitable solution for reducing costs by providing flexible demand, but are often uneconomical when used solely for this purpose. Despite the research efforts showing the benefits of an energy-integrated harbor-area smart grid (HASG), the...

This research concerns the analysis of the organisation of transport of cut flowers from Dutch growers. The performance of transport in the current supply chain is analysed with a focus on the total transport costs, and the service level which is primarily defined by the lead time of products. Based on the assessment of the current performance...

In this report, supply chains of factory outlet stores are analyzed. Here, the concept of factory outlet stores have been investigated in literature to be able to understand which goal these stores serves. Based on a pull based supply chain perspective, replenishment has been investigated. Here, demand forecast, inventory, order ful_llment and...

In recent years, Networked Control Systems (NCS) have become more popular, partly because of the increasing accessibility. In NCS, multiple plants and controllers are connected over a wired or wireless shared network, possibly having significant spatial separation. A major issue that arises is network congestion: If too many control loops are...

A switching max-plus linear model is a framework to describe the discrete dynamics of the timing of events. To influence these systems one can choose the routes of jobs and the orderings of operations as input for the system. In this thesis the techniques of model predictive control are used to find good input values. The problem of finding the...

Planning rolling stock maintenance based on prognostic data (Condition Based Maintenance, CBM) is a trend since the ideal timing for maintenance before failure can be planned. With the use of prognostics, a failure can be predicted so Corrective Maintenance (CM) can be avoided. Traditional rolling stock decision-making for Preventive Maintenance...

This thesis introduces a theory for model-driven objective functions in Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms. For scheduling supply chains, such model-driven objective functions allow the MPC algorithm to make optimal scheduling decisions by anticipating future changes in product flow and transfer price dynamics. Including such dynamics...

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has advantages over traditional manufacturing systems due to its ability to deal with unpredicted circumstances such as changes in demand or component breakdowns by re-routing. However, this flexibility increases the complexity of controlling such a system. Traditionally, the system model is simplified to...
