Simulation of the Dutch electricity system: A software expansion for the Illuminator

The aim of this report is to discuss the design of the software that creates a simulation for the national electricity grid level of the Netherlands. This is done by further developing the open-source energy system integration development kit called the Illuminator. Where the goal of this software is to create an extra case, add a Graphical User...

Simulating Disturbances in Tactile Internet to Study Desynchronization

As technology evolves, transmission speeds become faster. Tactile Internet requires ultra-low-latency (ULL) communications to further immerse humans in a remote environment by transmitting movement and force feedback, allowing them to interact with that environment in real-time. However, no transmission speed can be fast enough to support the "1...

Simulation of a High-Redshift Line-Emitting Galaxy Detection with DESHIMA using TiEMPO

In this report, we will focus on simulating galaxy observations with the Deep Spectroscopic High-redshift Mapper (DESHIMA). To do so, we will discuss and evaluate two main parts needed to accurately perform such a simulation:<br/><br/>Firstly, we will answer the question whether Time-dependent End-to-end Model for Post-process Optimization ...

Simulating the Charge-Resonance Check in Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers using Python

In this report we present a model to simulate the performance and robustness of the Charge-Resonance Check (CR-Check) in the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center. The CR-Check is a routine which verifies that the charge state of the NV center is NV$^-$ and that the lasers, addressing the NV center, are on resonance with the optical lines. This is done...

Modelling finite mixture joint distributions

Building models for an electric vehicles usage data set in order to simulate virtual populations of these electric vehicle users. With these simulated populations charging strategies for electric vehicle users could be developed in order to improve the use of electric vehicles. The modeling is done with copula functions, and are compared with...

TiEMPO:Time-Dependent End-to-End Model for Post-process Optimization of the DESHIMA Spectrometer

Ultra-wideband submillimeter observations are crucial to study the process of star and galaxy formation and for characterizing cosmic dust in the interstellar medium. The Deep Spectroscopic High-redshift Mapper 2.0 (DESHIMA 2.0) will use an integrated superconducting spectrometer chip with a 220-440 GHz band coverage and a spectral resolution of...

Feasibility Study of LUFAR

With the steady increase in space missions, enabled through technological advances and increase of commercialisation within the space flight industry, both more and increasingly complex missions can be designed for space. To this end, the Lunar Zebro project competes within this field through its small lunar rover design, drastically decreasing...

Een algoritme voor het prijzen van Amerikaanse opties met behulp van regressie- en variantie reductietechnieken

In tegenstelling tot een Europese optie, is de prijs van een Amerikaanse optie vaak niet te berekenen met behulp van standaard analysemethoden. Om toch een optieprijs te kunnen bepalen, wordt er gebruik gemaakt van simulatiemethoden. In stochastische modellen, gebaseerd op zogenoemde arbitragevrije prijsbepalingen, is de optieprijs gelijk aan de...

Simulation Verification and Optimization of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine using CFD

In this research computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to model a vertical axis wind turbine. Well known turbulence models | i.e. the k-epsilon and k-omega SST model | are used and compared in their performance against each other and a set of experimental data. The formal research question is "What models are available for the simulation of...
