Zhang, M. (author)Power system blackouts have been observed increasingly frequent and severe. As an emergency control action to rescue the system from complete blackout, under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) technique can disconnect a part of the load when a disturbance occurs and an excessively low frequency is detected. Traditional UFLS scheme is widely adopted...master thesis 2016

Balakrishnan, D.C. (author)The development of various renewable energy generation techniques and distributed generation of electricity due to the increased global energy needs, a robust transmission system for the transfer of power from high generation regions to high demand regions over long distances is the need of the hour. In order to achieve the successful...master thesis 2016

Dunnewolt, J. (author)The analytic element method (AEM) is used to build a model that can simulate travel time distribution of steady-state saturated and unsaturated flow through and around non-overlapping circular and elliptic inhomogeneities in an otherwise homogeneous soil. The analytic element solutions for saturated flow are derived from Laplace’s differential...master thesis 2016

Janssen, S.R. (author)Double degree. Supervision of the thesis also at: Faculty Applied Mathematics, Department Numerical Analysis, Programme M.Sc. Applied Mathematics. Structure-preserving discretization techniques preserve fundamental structure of operators and operands found in partial differential equations. Classical discretization techniques sometimes neglect...master thesis 2016

Boerboom, H.T.W. (author)Floodplain deposits in arid, endorheic basins constitute a large proportion of fluvial stratigraphy. The reservoir potential of this stratigraphy was previously discarded. Thin-bedded, potential reservoir sandstones present in the stratigraphy have poor detectability on conventional well logs and possess relatively low reservoir quality. However...master thesis 2016

Alsem, T. (author)An interesting evolution is happening in the airline industry, as more and more airlines start selling upgrades to a higher class. A decade ago, upgrades were for the top notch frequent flyers of an airline and could only be bought with air miles. Nowadays more than 20 airlines have a closed auction to sell upgrades and third party companies...master thesis 2016

Köller, F. (author)During its expedition from 1872 to 1876, the HMS Challenger (see right) first proved the abundance of polymetallic nodules in the Pacific-, Indian- and Atlantic Oceans, giving rise to new interest in economic development of this resource. A century later, in 1976, the first successful pilot mining test for polymetallic nodule recovery was...master thesis 2016

Hersyandika, R. (author)The massive availability of bandwidth in the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band has the potential to address the challenges posed by the unprecedented increase in the mobile data traffic. Therefore, mmWave wireless access is being seen as a promising candidate for multi-Gbps wireless access in the next generation (i.e., 5G) of wireless...master thesis 2016

Boersma, J.Y. (author)For conceptual aircraft design to include accurate laminar flow prediction, a link between modern computational tools to determine laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition and fast sizing methods is required. For swept wings, it is crucial to include the highly unstable three-dimensional crossflow component of the boundary layer. These...master thesis 2016

Varela Souto, A. (author)In recent years, a transition towards a more sustainable future has started and it is imperative that this trend continues. An increasing energy demand from the continuously growing population, together with the increment of greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions and the depletion of fossil fuels have motivated the penetration of renewable energy...master thesis 2016

Arnason, B. (author)The tremendous growth of the Internet brings with it a massive amount of data that users are exposed to on a daily basis. Consequently, information filtering techniques like recommender systems have become increasingly important to sift through the data and find what is relevant to a particular user. A recent approach for recommender systems,...master thesis 2016

De Tavernier, Delphine (author)One of the most commonly used flow control techniques to trim the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades are vortex generators. This passive device, which does not require any active energy, is gaining an increasing interest in this sector especially due to the trend of increasing wind turbine size. Vortex generators are a flow control...master thesis 2016

Heineke, D.C. (author)In this thesis, the improvement and extension of the North Sea Storm Atlas is studied. The North Sea Storm Atlas is a new statistical approach for rapid flood forecasting in coastal areas. The method is based on a large database of potential weather scenarios. A detailed hydrodynamic numerical model (WAQUA-in-Simona/DCSM98) has been used to...master thesis 2016

Stolovytskyi, V. (author)Renewable energy sources become more and more popular among residential electricity customers in Germany due to the state funding and low rates. The integration of the renewable sources into the low voltage grid requires the grid planning process which involves using the household load profiles with high time resolution (e.g., 15 s). Only a...master thesis 2016

Geul, K.R.A. (author)The well field in Noardburgum has been closed since the year 1993, due to the salinization of the groundwater. Upconing and lateral attraction of brackish groundwater caused the salinization of the groundwater. Currently, Vitens is looking for ways to reinstate the Noardburgum well field without the risk of salinization. The Fresh Keeper is...master thesis 2016
