Fremouw, M.A. (author)We do live in interesting times. Social, political and financial turmoil, peak oil and nuclear accidents all contribute to the realisation that perhaps things need to change in our energy system. Providing the right type of energy at the right place at the right time is of course the answer. As the potential yields of renewable energy sources...master thesis 2012

Van Kersbergen, D.J. (author)The main aim of the research is to passively use the on-site energy to create passive climate comfort. Usually this these passive strategies are not integrated into the design process but added to the building design later on when the building design is already finalized. The main topic of this building technology research is to integrate...master thesis 2011

Koekoek, A.R. (author)Current solutions for energy supply of electrical equipment in gardens are very limited and do not suffice. The inductive energy distribution concept that was developed by the company E-Snake BV, named E-Snake, could be a solution, by providing simple electrical installation that allows for flexible take-off. However, the usability of the...master thesis 2011

Baayen, J.H. (author)In this thesis we present a novel solution to the kite trajectory tracking problem using an explicit control law. Compared to alternative approaches, such as model predictive control, our approach has three major advantages: a stability proof, ease of implementation, and minimal modeling requirements. The latter is especially important for...master thesis 2011

De Mooij, J.W.C. (author)At the moment global climate change is one of the most prominent environmental and energy issues of our life time. Currently CO2 levels in the atmosphere stand at 387 ppm, almost 40% higher since the start of the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years. About 96% of these carbon emissions are the result of using...master thesis 2010
