Donkers, J..A.J. (author)In 2005 the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) published its first version of the Offshore Wind Atlas of the Dutch part of the North Sea [3]. This version has been updated and improved using longer time series and another approach for the calculation of the roughness of the sea surface. In contradiction to other Wind Atlases which...master thesis

Kirkegaard, L.C. (author)Every harbour has its own uniques et of natural frequencies depending on its geometry. If waves with frequencies close to one of these natural frequencies continue to enter from offshore for some time, the harbour will resonate. This phenomenon is called harbour resonance or seiching and the characteristic oscillations seiches. A moredetailed...master thesis 1996

Sommeling, B. (author)De infrastructuur voor de luchtvaart in Nederland dreigt tekort te gaan schieten. Er zijn in de media en in de Tweede Kamer grate discussies gaande over het hoe, waar en waarom van een uitbreiding. In dit afstudeerproject is gekeken naar de mogelijkheid van de (gedeeltelijke) verplaatsing van de luchthavencapaciteit naar een luchthaven in de...master thesis 1998

Van Hoof, J.G.G. (author)In deze studie is de invloed van golfdiffractie onderzocht op het golfveld achter een eiland in de Noordzee op 10 km uit de kust. Dit onderzoek is uitgevoerd als afstudeeropdracht voor de studie Civiele Techniek aan de Technische Universiteit Delft. Het aanleggen van een eiland voor de Nederlandse kust heeft consequenties voor deze kust. Door de...master thesis 2001

Arentz, L. (author)The data content of remote sensing (RS) images of sea surface temperature (SST) and normalized water-leaving radiance (nLw), for the year 1998, with respect to the River Rhine plume, is investigated. Questions that this study tries to answer are: is it possible to identify the plume from the available RS images, and under which conditions is...master thesis 2004

Brouwer, R.L. (author)Barrier island coasts are a common feature in many parts of the world. An example is the Wadden coast of The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. These coasts consist of barrier islands separated by tidal inlets with at the landward side tidal basins.Characteristic for the Wadden Sea is that the tidal basins are not completely separated,but are...master thesis 2006

De Jong, M.S. (author)To date no study has been done to analyse the effect on water level for the Dutch coast from the passage of storms over the North Sea. This research examines the feasibility of developing a joint probability method to determine the extreme water level for the Dutch coast, resulting from these storms. This has been done by means of a parametric...master thesis 2012

Vesters, J.B. (author)Up to now the well performance department within Total Exploration and Production Netherlands (TEPNL) base the assessment of well inflow performance on experiences in the field. No tools are available to systematically monitor and assess the reservoir-completion-tubing performance in the longer term (years). This makes that normal production...master thesis 2013

Anijs, M.A. (author)Low cycle corrosion fatigue is an interesting issue in civil Engineering because it may effect the lifetime of structures in negative and unexpected ways. However, analysis of design codes has revealed that low cycle corrosion fatigue is not a major issue in the design of offshore structures because these structures are designed with a global...master thesis 2013

Van der Linden, L.G. (author)In this master thesis the residual circulation in the North Sea is investigated. It has been shown that the numerical models used in this thesis (DCSMv5 and DCSMv6) give a rather low representation of the actual circulation pattern in the North Sea. The dominating forces which cause residual currents in the North Sea are the tidal forcings,...master thesis 2014

Dimitriou, A. (author)So far jack-ups have successfully operated in depths of 80 to 100 m and some are capable of operating in water depths of up to 150 m. In order to circumvent the depth limitation, it was suggested by Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) that a base could be designed with the ability to support a jack-up rig, thereby increasing its operational depth...master thesis 2014

Choy, D.Y. (author)Offshore sand waves of several meters high and hundreds of meters long are formed in shallow seas due to the tidal currents. These sand waves can, amongst others, influence the burial depth of cables of offshore wind farms and obstruct navigation channels. For the Far Large Offshore Wind programme (FLOW), one of the goals of Deltares is to...master thesis 2015

Roest, Bart (author)Van Oord is currently building the Gemini Wind farm in the North Sea. It is located 80km North of Schiermonnikoog. Before execution started some wave and current analysing buoys have been deployed to investigate the currents on the location of the wind farm for workability and insurance purposes. In this report the ADCP-current data will be...student report 2015

Claessens, C. (author)This thesis investigates the origin of observed current velocities at the Gemini offshore wind farm in 2015. Currents have been measured of 1.2 m/s while, based upon tidal and storm predictions, currents of only 0.7 m/s were expected. The aim of this research is to gain insight into the origin of these higher currents, taking into account the...master thesis 2016

Karaolanis, Aris (author)The COBRAcable project is one of the major interconnectors being constructed in the North Sea, connecting the Netherlands with Denmark. It is a 325 km submarine cable which will have the ability to transfer 700 MW. The importance of the interconnector is manifold: to facilitate the exchange of renewable energy coming from the onshore Danish...master thesis 2017

Gerrits, Stefan (author)The European energy system is significantly changing to restrict the rise in global average warming. There is a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, which resulted in an exponential growth of offshore wind energy capacity in the North Sea. However, the North Sea is already one of the most intensively used sea basins in the world...master thesis 2017

de Vilder, Lucas (author)To combat global warming a transition towards renewable energy sources (RES) is essential. Although RES have much lower life-cycle emissions, they do not offer a continuous and fully predictable output like their fossil-fuelled counterparts. Energy storage is paramount in order to include the growing share of these intermittent sources into the...master thesis 2017

Frölke, Guus (author)Wind energy from the North Sea is one of the solutions to achieve the climate goals of the Paris agreement. The Dogger Bank, a North Sea sandbank, has a lot of potential for wind energy due to the relatively shallow location and good wind conditions. An artificial island creates even more opportunities, because alternating energy can be...master thesis 2018
