The irreversible effects of climate change have led to a significant increase in citizen-led and initiated local energy cooperatives. Playing a crucial role in the shift to renewable energy, these cooperatives are evolving from informal community groups to structured organisations. Their success relies on co-creation, a collaborative process in...

The dunes along the Dutch coast serve as a critical component of flood defense. Storms and a shortage of sediment supply offshore lead to dune and shoreline erosion, posing a hazard to flood safety. To combat coastal erosion, the Dutch government decided in 1990 to proactively nourish the coast. It is expected that as an indirect effect of the...

This study examines the effect of adding helical piles to the foundation mechanism of monopile installation templates. A monopile installation template is a gravity-based structure, which is placed on the seabed. The installation template is utilised for the installation of monopiles, and to ensure its verticality during this installation. At...

Abstract—This paper proposes a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) application for automated drifting, with exper- imental verification on a standard production vehicle, without hardware modifications. The controller stabilizes the vehicle on a high sideslip angle, which implies an equilibrium condition beyond tyre friction limits. The...

European climate goals to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celcius are unachievable in their current form because current green energy technologies needed for the energy transition rely too much on critical raw materials (CRMs). This thesis sought to design something that reduces the negative impact living has on the climate while making...

Abstract—Background: Vacuum extraction is a way to prevent unnecessary maternal deaths, by using a vacuum extractor to help deliver the baby in the second stage of labour. Vacuum extraction is still little-used in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries, due to the lack of sufficient devices on the market that...

In this work, we address the challenges of employing robots in the Search-and-Rescue (SAR) domain, where they can benefit rescue workers to quickly obtain Situational Awareness (SA). Missions with autonomous mobile robots are heavily dependent on environmental representations. Representations have been steadily increasing in the richness that...

The offshore wind sector in Europe has grown significantly over the past 20 years. Following this surge in number of installations, the first generation of turbines is reaching its end-of-life (EOL) phase and thought needs to be put into end-of-life strategies. As the market for lifetime extension is still in its infancy and...

The goal of a mining operation is to extract the maximum value from exploiting the orebody. The equipment used by these mining operations has a nominally rated performance to achieve needed annual production. However, this nominally rated performance is not achieved during operations. This study assesses the underlying causes of reduced shovel...

Over time Linked Data collections are continuously subject to change because of numerous reasons. Users could insert new observations, or they could rectify erroneous statements in these knowledge graphs. In order not to lose historically import information, this trend of evolving Linked Data collections increases the need to version these...

In this graduation project for the start-up Dispertech, the usability and workflow of their NanoCET device is improved. The NanoCET is a research tool used in hospital and university laboratories, for which the following problem was stated: researchers and technicians working in labs have difficulty setting up and using the NanoCET device and...

Machine learning models are increasingly being used in fields that have a direct impact on the lives of humans. Often these machine learning models are black-box models and they lack transparency and trust which is holding back the implementation. To increase transparency and trust this research investigates whether imitation learning,...

Public participation is often regarded as something of an obstacle in urban development. However, it can be beneficial for project developers and other initatiors of projects in urban development and can potentially lead to economic gain for the developer. To research if there is any economic gain in the eventual results of a project, and to...

The Netherlands must be natural gas-free by 2050. This means that neighbourhoods throughout the Netherlands will have to be overhauled for the construction of heat networks. In addition, we are increasingly faced with the effects of climate change, such as flooding and increasing heat. Both tasks require physical changes in the built environment...

Onderzoek: Dit project heeft als doel te onderzoeken hoe skateboarders de gebouwde omgeving ervaren en begrijpen en wat architecten of ontwerpers (van zulke plekken) kunnen leren van deze gebruikers. Skateboarders, voor wie autoriteit en conventie van weinig betekenis zijn, suggereren dat de gebouwde omgeving niet alleen een plek is om te wonen,...

In precision engineering, thermal stability is of great importance in order to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for faster and more precise positioning actuators. Most notably, actuator magnetizing coils dissipate heat to surrounding machine components as a result of Joule heating. With changing temperatures, system components expand and...

In Mashhad, one million - a third of the people - live in marginal settlements also known as slums. Migrations from the countryside and Afghanistan to Mashhad, and housing crisis have pushed many to settle in the literal margins of the city. However, their life is everything but settled: their existence can instead be characterized as a nomadic...

FLASH proton therapy is a growing field of research, especially due to its biological benefits in radiation oncology: sparing healthy tissue while delivering the treatment within a millisecond. However, instead of sparing healthy tissue, the conventional FLASH approach, using transmission beams, damages the tissue behind the...

The lifespan of internal reforming solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is not yet sufficient. Among other design challenges, this is due to detrimental carbon deposition formations. This must be mitigated, without compromising the power output and efficiency of the fuel cell for it to become a commercial viable product. The carbon that is deposited...
