van der Holst, Bart (author), Verhoeven, Gijs (author), Matthijssen, E.F. (author), Vrijlandt, Mark (author), van der Meer, A.A. (author), Plug, R.B.F. (author), Kok, Koen (author)Due to the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources, congestion problems are already emerging in Dutch distribution grids. The available flexibility of assets in the built environment could have the potential to reduce congestion if prosumers are properly incentivized by distribution grid operators (DSOs). However, it is not yet...conference paper 2023

Viset, F.M. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Kok, M. (author)Accurately estimating the positions of multi-agent systems in indoor environments is challenging due to the lack of Global Navigation Satelite System (GNSS) signals. Noisy measurements of position and orientation can cause the integrated position estimate to drift without bound. Previous research has proposed using magnetic field simultaneous...conference paper 2023

Edridge, T.I. (author), Kok, M. (author)Ferromagnetic materials in indoor environments give rise to disturbances in the ambient magnetic field. Maps of these magnetic disturbances can be used for indoor localisation. A Gaussian process can be used to learn the spatially varying magnitude of the magnetic field using magnetometer measurements and information about the position of the...conference paper 2023

Menzen, C.M. (author), Fetter, Marnix (author), Kok, M. (author)We present a mapping algorithm to compute large-scale magnetic field maps in indoor environments with approximate Gaussian process (GP) regression. Mapping the spatial variations in the ambient magnetic field can be used for 10-calization algorithms in indoor areas. To compute such a map, GP regression is a suitable tool because it provides...conference paper 2023

Skog, Isaac (author), Hendeby, Gustaf (author), Kok, M. (author)A framework for tightly integrated motion mode classification and state estimation in motion-constrained inertial navigation systems is presented. The framework uses a jump Markov model to describe the navigation system's motion mode and navigation state dynamics with a single model. A bank of Kalman filters is then used for joint inference...conference paper 2023

Verhoeven, Gijs (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Salazar Duque, Edgar Mauricio (author), Kok, Koen (author)To guarantee a successful deployment of a droop-based control strategy to mitigate overvoltage problems caused by solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) will need to estimate the amount of active power curtailed by the PV inverters for billing purposes. This paper provides a structural elaboration on the...conference paper 2022

Kok, M. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Osman, M.E.A. (author)In this work, our focus is on indoor localization using the indoor magnetic field as a source of position information. This relies on the fact that ferromagnetic materials inside buildings cause the magnetic field to vary spatially. We jointly estimate the pose of a combined sensor module (containing a magnetometer) as well as the magnetic field...conference paper 2022

Osman, M.E.A. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Kok, M. (author)In this paper, a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm for tracking the motion of a pedestrian with a foot-mounted inertial measurement unit is proposed. The algorithm uses two maps, namely, a motion map and a magnetic field map. The motion map captures typical motion patterns of pedestrians in buildings that are constrained by e.g....conference paper 2022

Verhoeven, Gijs (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Kok, Koen (author)Currently, the majority of the available test feeder models are based on the North American type of distribution systems, leaving an absence of representative feeder models for the European (and Dutch) types of distribution systems. Therefore, a standardized set of power flow models for typical Dutch LV distribution networks is developed using...conference paper 2021

Viset, F.M. (author), Gravdahl, Jan Tommy (author), Kok, M. (author)We propose an application of magnetic field norm simultaneous localisation and mapping to measurements from a foot-mounted sensor for pedestrian navigation. The algorithm is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first three dimensional drift-compensating indoor navigation method using only accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer...conference paper 2021

Remmerswaal, Evan (author), Weygers, Ive (author), Smit, G. (author), Kok, M.

Drift in the relative orientation estimates obtained by integrating the gyroscope measurements is corrected solely by incorporating common information in the inertial sensor measurements due to the connection of the...conference paper 2021

Girrbach, Fabian (author), Kok, M.

To obtain robust and accurate estimates, it is crucial to respect the exact time of each measurement. Data fusion is additionally challenged when the...conference paper 2020

van der Krogt, M.G. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)One of the failure mechanisms of dikes is slope instability at the landward side. Often, one instability does not lead to flooding, and several successive instabilities are needed before the dike overtops, and erosion and breaching can occur, especially at lower water levels. In this paper we propose a method to estimate the probability of...conference paper 2019

Integrating such sensors into dynamic systems, the problem of their calibration arises naturally. Existing methods often require the sensor to be accurately placed in certain poses, which can be infeasible in practice. In this paper, we present an optimization-based...conference paper 2019
