Microscopic imaging has a resolution that is often far from the diffraction limit due to aberrations induced by the optics or by the sample itself. It is therefore of interest sensing these aberrations either directly or indirectly to improve image quality in post-processing or with adaptive optics. To avoid the use of extra hardware, several...

Steam utility systems supply process units with the required heat, rotational power, feed for steam methane reforming et cetera. This work is based on the steam network located at Shell Raffinaderij Nederland in Pernis.<br/>The refinery has grown over the years which has resulted in an extensive and complex steam network which interconnects old...

Tetrahedron is working on a new design for large offshore cranes that can lift higher. This is necessary due to the increasing size of offshore wind turbines, and the inability of the conventional cranes to scale up without needing a larger ship that is carrying them. To compute the forces working on the trusses of the crane structure,...

Dynamic Time Slot Management (DTSM) is a system often used in online retail to manage the delivery of goods to customers. With DTSM customers arrive over time and place orders. They get presented with a set of time slots and the customer picks the time slot in which he wants the goods to be delivered to his home. A DTSM system creates a time...

In the Netherlands, the building sector accounts for more than one third of the total primary energy consumption. In response, new regulations, BENG 2020, are implemented and applied to all new constructions as of the 1st of July 2020. Regarding the high-rise typology that is known for its extensive energy consumption, those regulations present...

Usually in a renovation design process one of the first main tasks of the architect is to distribute effectively the program of requirements (spaces with their corresponding areas) in the building. To do so the architect inserts in the existing floorplan the spaces in the form of circles; the so called “bubble diagram”. The purpose of this...

Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is a generalization of classical linear programming where we restrict some (or all) variables to take integer values. Numerous real-world problems can be modeled as MILPs, such as production planning, scheduling, network design optimization and many more. MILPs are, in fact, NP-hard. State-of-the-art...

The goal of this thesis is to identify under which boundary conditions<br/>there is a business opportunity for an innovative electric thermal energy storage, with regards to the future electricity and heat markets. To meet this target, a novel optimization model has been developed as the main tool for the analysis of the storage and its...

The goal of this research is to optimize the fiber layup of a carbon windsurfing boom for weight and stiffness. A windsurfing boom should be stiff to provide an efficient basis for the energy transfer from the sail through the surfer to the board. The weight of the boom is important as the total weight of the rig influences the performance,...

Purpose - To develop and evaluate a fast and automated multi-criterial treatment planning strategy for High-Dose-Rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. This automated strategy avoids suboptimal and slow manual treatment planning and results in reproducible and conformal treatment plans with a clinically...

Understanding the permeability of the subsurface is a crucial step to simulate fluid flow in the subsurface. A parameter estimation problem for the flow equations can be solved to find the permeability. The robust identification of material parameters remains a significant challenge. In classical approaches, the non-linear least-squares problem...

Single junction solar cells have a theoretical efficiency limit of 33.1% due to spectral mismatch. To overcome this limitation, two or more single junction cells with different bandgaps can be coupled together to achieve higher energy conversion efficiency by optimum spectral utilization. In this work, thin film silicon-based alloys are used to...

A well-established method for finding the optimal control policy for a given dynamical system is to solve the problem iteratively going from its terminal state "backwards" in time, known as Dynamic Programming Algorithm. For a generic problem with discrete state/action space, the algorithm has computational complexity of <i>O(NM)</i> for <i>N</i...

Nowadays, the energy consumption has a significant role in the entire life cycle of a building. The energy demands keep rising due to growth in population, increasing demand for healthy, comfort and productive indoor environment, global climate changing, and so on. This rapid increase in energy use in buildings represents a major issue...

The goal of this study is to understand the processes and wing characteristics that influence lift generation of a flapping wing, and apply the acquired knowledge in an optimization setting to obtain an optimal wing thickness distribution which maximizes effective wing lift. To achieve this, an extensive literature survey was conducted to...

Smart charging offers the potential for electric vehicles to use renewable energy more efficiently, lowering costs and improving the stability of the electricity grid. Many computer models have been developed to simulate the behavior of smart charging. Yet these models often assume that future information is known perfectly, including when...

Port call efficiency (PCE) is an important factor in the port choice of shipping lines. This research strives to contribute to the current work on PCE optimization. This is done by applying relative new techniques on port call related data. A combination of process mining (PM) and discrete event simulation (DEVS) is explored, with the Port of...

In this thesis, we propose two mixed integer linear program formulations for an optimization problem that incorporates annualized hours: an exact one and an approximation. The objective of our model consists of three weighted parts: a part which minimizes the difference between working hours and contract hours for each employee per week, a part...
