Low cost power quality measuring unit for household usage and small to enterprise scale installations: Designing a Low Cost Power Quality Analyzer

The increase in non-linear loads of modern electronics raises concerns over power quality. Additionally, existing power-quality analyzers are expensive and not intended for household use. This thesis aims to develop a single-phase, user-friendly power-quality analyzer using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with an emphasis on low cost and class S...

Energy carrier allocation strategy for a hybrid wind farm with offshore electrolysis: A techno-economic optimization study from a developer's perspective

Hydrogen is emerging as a promising energy carrier that can potentially solve the challenges like long-term storage and intermittent power supply associated with a 100%-renewable economy. Moreover, hydrogen can be used in industry sectors such as steel manufacturing and aviation, which struggle with carbon abatement. To increase the supply of...

Participatory Churches: A Participation Approach to Preserve the Social Function of Religious Heritage: The Case of St. Dominicus Church Utrecht

This paper explores different participation methods that could be applied in redeveloping religious heritage. Due to secularisation, religious buildings are threatened with vacancy. Churches in particular are difficult to redevelop due to their ecclesiastical and social values. Active community involvement assists in overcoming the gap in...

Glacial Isostatic Adjustment Forward Model with a Convolutional Neural Network

This thesis introduces a new approach to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) modeling using Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The work addresses two main challenges – uncertainty in historical ice load history and the complexity of inverse problems – by developing two ML-based surrogate models (emulators) to rapidly estimate Relative Sea-Level ...

Solving Livability and Rain Water Issues in a Mutualistic Manner

In this report, fruitful combinations in solving livability problems and rain water nuisances are explored for the case study of the Schilderswijk. The importance of this combination is found in the importance of the two of them seperately. Climate proofing neighbourhoods is necessary when considering climate change which will only increase rain...

Filling the void

This years graduation project is set In the city of Amsterdam. A city that has seen an exponential rise in tourist numbers and housing prices. Resulting in a city wide gentrification that made the city undesirable and too expensive for citizens to live in. In an attempt to deal with this the city adopted the doughnut economic model of Kate...

Landscape Based Agriculture: Towards a new circular agricultural system, a stronger ecosystem and improved liveability

Currently, the agricultural system of South Holland causes many externalities including subsidence, increased flood risks by poor water management, a loss of biodiversity, air pollution and economic problems due to the nitrogen tax. Given these problems, the following research question is chosen: can improving ecological conditions and...

Using a Physics-Informed Neural Network to solve the Ideal Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

In this work we investigate neural networks and subsequently physics-informed neural networks. Physicsinformed neural networks are away to solve physical models that are based on differential equations by using a neural network. The wave equation, Burgers’ equation, Euler’s equation, and the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations are introduced and...

Design of the European Lunar Penetrator (ELUPE) Descent Module Controller

To obtain unambiguous ground truth of water-ice residing in permanently shaded regions of the Moon and to characterise the local regolith, ESA considers a mission involving an instrumented penetrator implanted there by high-speed impact. Released into lunar orbit, the European Lunar Penetrator (ELUPE) Descent Module will autonomously traverse a...

Design for customer engagement in the transition to a circular economy: A case study in Senseo coffee machines

This report is a graduation thesis for the master Integrated Product Design at the Delft University of Technology. Carried out in collaboration with Philips Design in the Netherlands. The project is about how to engage consumers in the transition from a linear towards a circular economy in which we make more efficient use of materials and...

Design for disclosure: Supporting victims of sexual violence in sharing their experiences

This thesis describes the process of the development of the toolkit: Durf te delen (Dare to share). A toolkit to support both a victim of sexual abuse and her confidant (person of trust) during the process of disclosing the experience with sexual abuse. This thesis focuses on female victims, due to the fact only women participated in the...

Studying the Effects of Code Clone Size on Clone Evolution

The practice of code cloning is something every software developer has to deal with at some point. The evolution of code clones is of particular interest, because the effects of cloning code show up later in the lifetime of a project. We research the effects a clone's properties have on its evolutionary behavior. For this purpose an approach to...

Micro dynamisch verkeersmanagement: Het geven van individuele aanwijzingen aan automobilisten ter verbetering van de doorstroming

Suboptimaal weggebruik leidt bij hogere intensiteiten tot een slechtere benutting van de beschikbare infrastructuur en daarmee mogelijk tot files. In dit onderzoek is geanalyseerd of het geven van individuele aanwijzingen aan automobilisten een positief effect heeft op de verkeersdoorstroming en de stabiliteit. Voor twee verkeerssituaties,...

Socialocalize, socialize and localize. Sococa.org

In Japan, most cell phones have the capability of receiving GPS signals. Besides the cell phone there are many other devices that can keep track of GPS data, including the GPS device made by Sony. If all this GPS data is collected and organized, one could get a good overview of peoples whereabouts. That is why the goal of this project was to...
