In order to measure the spectrum of radio emissions from galaxies and other deep space objects, a new superconducting spectrometer, working at very cold temperatures close to the absolute zero, is developed. An advanced cooling system called a cryostat is used to cool down the spectrometer. The cool down of the cryostat involves the control of...

There is a great amount of wave power in earth's oceans. The amount of power harvested for electricity is however very small in comparison to solar and wind. One of the reasons for this is the lack of consensus on the best design of wave energy converters. This thesis develops a novel system design for a wave energy converter array that has...

Based on sparsity maximization we propose a controller for Multiple Daily Injections (MDI)therapy for Type 1 Diabetes melitus (T1DM) individuals. Based on convex relaxations onthe sparsity maximization problems and by implementing personalised linear models of pa-tient we formulate a model predictive controller to determine insulin boluses. By...

Airborne wind energy is a promising newly emerging wind energy harvesting technology. Due to low material use and high potential harvesting density it aspires to be competitor to the conventional wind turbines we see today. Kitepower bv, a company in the Netherlands, is developing a airborne wind energy system based on a flexible kite. To be...

This thesis develops dynamical state-space models of the oil market and suggests opportunities for the application of control theory. The emphasis of this thesis is on the modelling, rather than the control theory applications. Most models that are currently employed by oil companies do not model short-term transient responses, but focus on long...

A study is performed analyzing the behavioral adaptation of pilots in skill based ramp tracking tasks performed with pursuit display. From data analyses of previous ramp tracking experiments an indication is found that pilots who repeatedly perform the same ramp tracking task show a high level of adaptation to characteristics of the control task...

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a model-free adaptive approach to learn a non-linear control law for flight control. However, for flat-RL (FRL) the size of the search space grows exponentially with the number of states, resulting in low sample efficiency. This research aims to improve the efficiency with Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL)....

When acquiring information using imaging techniques, one wants to achieve the best possible resolution in order to obtain valuable results. In the ideal scenario the size of the smallest resolved object features is limited by the wave properties of light, with a number of techniques developed to overcome this limit. In real life measurements the...
