With the increasing number of electric vehicles on the road, the routing problem has become more complex. As charging electric vehicles takes longer than fueling non-electric vehicles, congestion can occur at charging stations. This might lead to the shortest route not being the fastest route, due to long waiting times at the stations. By...

In this project we aimed to create a post-trading day safeguard system that allows for the identification of bugs in the primary and secondary risk control systems at Optiver. These systems are needed to prevent undesirable exposure to the market from happening, and to ensure that they know exactly what this exposure is. The amount of input data...

In this dissertation we look at the seriation problem and the applications of this problem. Given a set of items, we try to find an ordering based on the similarity between the items. We start by explaining the mathematical theory behind the seriation problem. Then we describe a couple of different methods that can be used to find a solution for...

The goal of this graduation project was to design a state-of-the-art central farm controller. The designed central farm controller distinguishes itself from prevailing controllers by including a subsystem (the optimisation unit) that contributes to an improvement in power transmission effciency, decrease in maintenance costs and an increase in...

Elderly care residences often have falling incidents, sometimes with dire consequences. This project aims to implement a method for detecting when people fall, an issue that has seen much research and practical implementations already. In contrast to other work, this project aims to create a non-intrusive, non-wearable solution through the use...

In this thesis, we investigate whether maximizing the coverage of taxis can be beneficial when the goal is to minimize the waiting times of the clients. When dispatching taxis, often only current requests are taken into account and not future ones. We examined how beneficial it can be to take coverage into account. For taxi companies it is...

For NP-hard optimisation problems no polynomial-time algorithms exist for finding a solution. Therefore, heuristic methods are often used, especially when approximate solutions can be satisfactory. One such method is quantum annealing, a method where some initial Hamiltonian is slowly perturbed to anneal towards a problem Hamiltonian. The...

In this thesis we look at the most cost-<br/>effective trajectory for power limited rockets, i.e. the trajectory which costs the least amount of propellant. First some background information as well as the differences between thrust limited and power limited rockets will be discussed. Then the optimal trajectory for thrust limited rockets, the...

In the history of medicine, different treatments for cancer have been developed, such as radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy. However, nowadays more than 50% of the people diagnosed with cancer, undergo a radiotherapy treatment. One of the devices used for the treatment is the CyberKnife: a robotic radiodurgery system that can move around the...

Research in using Topology optimisation as a tool to improve the design process of bridge design. The research focuses on implementing Topology optimisation in the design process of architects and engineers. As an example topology optimisation is used to propose a design for a pedestrian bridge in Amsterdam.

Climate mitigation measures are integrated in various governmental and commercial initiatives. The sector of electrification and energy is no exception to this. For remote island communities however, the access to reliable and affordable electricity comes with additional difficulties. The effects of climate change, energy dependency and...

Narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT), recently introduced by 3GPP, is a relevant Radio Access Technology (RAT) solution for deployment within smart grids, the electricity grids of the future, due to the need to provide low-cost connectivity to a large number of smart meters installed in households. Outage Restoration and Management (ORM), a...

Enterprise Modelling (EM) is the process of producing models, which in turn can be used to support understanding, analysis, (re)design, reasoning, control and learning about various aspects of an enterprise. Various EM techniques and languages exist, and are often supported by computational tools, in particular simulation. The goal of this...

Marine contractors as Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) have made decommissioning part of their core business. Being the owner of two of the largest semi-submersible crane vessels (SSCVs), the choice for single lift jacket removal is straightforward. However, jackets in the Northern North Sea have a weight and height exceeding the crane capacity...

With the aim to reduce the CO2 emissions in the transportation sector, there have been significant developments in the recent few years where novel ground transport systems operating at airline speeds using all-electric propulsion have emerged to provide a sustainable alternative to classical methods of <br/>transport such as air travel. These...

Ever since the late seventies great engineering effort has gone into increasing the fuel efficiency and reduction of the noise profile of aircraft. A concept that has been explored is the wingtip-mounted (pusher) propeller. In all wings energy is lost due to the lift-induced vortex at the wingtip. Wingtip-mounted pusher propellers can recover...

The energy transition is driving extensive changes to global energy systems, including the electrification of heating and mobility, increased renewable electricity generation, and a shift towards sustainable gases like green hydrogen. These changes will need to be accompanied by major investments in energy infrastructure, especially considering...

A dam including a tidal power station with pumping capacity is a new type of flood defence. The negative ecological impact normally associated with closure dams is partially mitigated by including a tidal power station in the structure. Water can move through the tidal power station resulting in a reduced tidal stroke at the created lake. This...

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...
