Boom, Senja (author)The energy transition is advancing rapidly, and the Dutch electricity grid is changing with it. Increasing shares of variable renewable energy sources create mismatches between electricity supply and demand. These mismatches create a need for large-scale energy storage. Existing large-scale energy storage technologies are pumped hydro energy...master thesis 2020

Mesfum, Johannes (author)The flight planning process is an extensive and long process to direct and maintain a high level of operations within the airspace. As air traffic demand grows year after year, it's worthwhile to optimise the European air traffic system further. One way of optimising the system, is by creating optimal flight schedules that solve for demand...master thesis 2020

Pardi, Alessandro (author)This project investigates the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in the context of research flight simulators to increase their visual fidelity in rotary-wing applications. The field of view of existing research simulators is often designed after fixed-wing aircraft and can be largely inferior to what is required to simulate helicopters. In...master thesis 2020

Grímsson, Grímur (author)Accurately forecasting charging demand is a major factor in energy providers’ ability to meet said demand. A number of methods have been proposed in the literature. This master thesis aims to provide a framework for energy providers to forecast charging demand due to increased EV adoption. Specifically, this research examines the effects that...master thesis 2020

van de Stadt, Michael (author)The case study consist of a small underground mine with a small mining crew. The vehicle park is relatively large, and therefore it is necessary to establish the added value of additional miners or equipment for short-term production planning purposes, assuming that staff size currently limits production capacity to find out if staff size is...master thesis 2021

van Overeem, Simon (author)Over the last five decades, the majority of commercial aircraft consisted of the traditional tube-and-wing configuration. This traditional configuration is approaching a fuel efficiency asymptote. Besides that, with the increasing number of passengers and cargo transported by air every year, and environmental impact as an important factor in...master thesis 2022
