The goal of this graduation project was to design a state-of-the-art central farm controller. The designed central farm controller distinguishes itself from prevailing controllers by including a subsystem (the optimisation unit) that contributes to an improvement in power transmission effciency, decrease in maintenance costs and an increase in...

In transformation projects the land-use needs to be changed. Developers must therefore apply for a change in the land-use plan or environmental permit to deviate from the land-use plan. Municipalities set all kinds off requirements for planning participation, these requirements can jeopardise the feasibility of the transformation plan. The...

<br/>This thesis is done in cooperation with Sime Darby Oils Zwijndrecht (SDOZ). SDOZ is a refinery of vegetable based oils. The goal of this thesis is to optimize the scheduling of the Refined Oil Storage (ROS) of the refinery. This is done because within the company it is suspected that the current way of assigning the tanks, that is...

The Kuiper Belt is considered to be formed by remnants of the original Solar System, that is why exploration missions to that region are susceptible of having an enormous scientific impact. Nonetheless, it is far away from Earth, missions to KBO targets a significant challenge. Additionally, current methods to identify trajectories that...

In this thesis, the performance of three different station-keeping methods applied to Sun-Earth L2 halo orbits is investigated. In order to evaluate these methods, first a framework for accurate satellite dynamics was developed. This was done by starting off at the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem, and extending that to a more accurate...

Climate mitigation measures are integrated in various governmental and commercial initiatives. The sector of electrification and energy is no exception to this. For remote island communities however, the access to reliable and affordable electricity comes with additional difficulties. The effects of climate change, energy dependency and...

In this thesis, we investigate whether maximizing the coverage of taxis can be beneficial when the goal is to minimize the waiting times of the clients. When dispatching taxis, often only current requests are taken into account and not future ones. We examined how beneficial it can be to take coverage into account. For taxi companies it is...

District heating systems (DHS) are considered the best alternative to individual heat boilers as they have higher efficiency and enable the use of sustainable heat sources, like geothermal heat sources or waste heat from industry. Currently, most DHSs are operated by choosing a temperature once every day depending on the weather. This setting is...

Margins for cargo airlines that were already thin have been put further under pressure, which stresses the importance of operating a profitable schedule. Research on modelling passenger operations has proven that integrating different steps in the schedule planning process can yield a significant increase in profit. For cargo operations no...

This research was aimed at determining the influence parameters have on the cut-off grade of sublevel stopes in the Garpenberg underground mine, and combing these to maximise value at the mine. Garpenberg is a multi-deposit poly-metallic mine owned by Boliden AB. Cost calculations were performed on data from 2018 to derive costs for each deposit...

An electric-recharging planning algorithm was developed in this study to accompany a dispatching algorithm that assigns real-time trip requests to vehicles of a shared taxi fleet owned by an operator. The algorithm decides on when, where, and how much each vehicle should charge, in real-time. It will also relocate idle vehicles if needed. The...

Local emission of especially particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) are haz- ardous for people living in close proximity. The municipality of Rotterdam can not yet comply with national regulation regarding N Ox and the current levels of N Ox pose a health risk for society (Gemeente Rotterdam). The Port of Rotterdam and local government...

Nowadays, conceptual breakwater layout design mostly relies on experience and expert judgement, making it complicated to demonstrate that an economic optimum has been reached. This stresses the need to develop a tool that is able to establish the economically most attractive breakwater layout for a certain set of requirements and site-specific...

As the share of solar and wind in the energy mix increases, the inherent intermittency of these energy sources pose a great challenge for the Dutch power grid. The occurrence of problems with congestion and balancing power supply and demand are becoming more common. Companies in the Netherlands show potential to implement means for smart use of...

Passive measures to tackle increasing energy demands of modern buildings are aimed to generate energy from the roof or the ground beneath and by improving insulation to isolate indoors and outdoors. The author targets the opaque facade sections of a building to develop an active panel to exchange solar thermal energy with his project THERM...

One result of climate change is the increasing strength and frequency of wind events. This creates a problem for the also increasing number of high-rise buildings many of which are of unconventional shape. However, current methods for calculating wind response either do not account for these geometries, such as the Eurocode or are prohibitively...

The current sourcing strategy of a company which relies on the backhauls of third party logistic providers for transportation currently does not take the availability of backhauls into account. Therefore, there is uncertainty in the number of trucks that are available for transporting freight from a supplier to a customer. This uncertainty can...

In recent years, research in the field of autonomous driving has been subject to a significant increase in interest. Along with the advances in automation and electrification, cars are slowly transitioning to computers on wheels. The ever-increasing processing power in vehicles gives rise to the implementation of advanced control strategies. The...

Elderly care residences often have falling incidents, sometimes with dire consequences. This project aims to implement a method for detecting when people fall, an issue that has seen much research and practical implementations already. In contrast to other work, this project aims to create a non-intrusive, non-wearable solution through the use...

To realise more sustainable industrial ground floors the implementation of alkali-activated concrete is considered for jointless elastically supported ground floors. Such floors are realised with large areas without dilations, the shrinkage reduction is therefore restrained causing cracks to arise at the top surface of the floor. The control of...
