Koole, R. (author)Due to fierce competition on the electricity market, many wind energy related research projects are currently aimed at cost reduction. In order to establish cost reduction, more and more wind turbines are being clustered in (offshore) wind farms. Major drawback of wind farms however, is the energy production loss due to aerodynamic wake...master thesis 2015

Ghosh, D. (author)Multi model adaptive control is an emerging field that has proven to be successful in mitigating limitations of classical adaptive control by providing more quicker and faster adaptation. In this method instead of one single parameter varying controller, multiple fixed parameter controllers pertaining to different operation regimes are utilized....master thesis 2015

Hoogland, J. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author)Motivated by the energy domain, we examine a risk-averse buyer that has to purchase a fixed quantity of a continuous good. The buyer has two opportunities to buy: now or later. The buyer can spread the quantity over the two timeslots in any way, as long as the total quantity remains the same. The current price is known, but the future price...conference paper 2015

Ma, X (author), Kato, Y (author), Hirai, Y (author), van Kempen, F.C.M. (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Tsuchiya, T (author), Tabata, O (author)Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)-based grayscale lithography is a promising tool for three dimensional (3D) microstructuring of thick-film photoresist since it is a maskless process, provides possibility for the free-form of 3D microstructures, and therefore rapid and cost-effective microfabrication. However, process parameter determination...conference paper 2015

Ma, X (author), Kato, Y (author), van Kempen, F.C.M. (author), Hirai, Y (author), Tsuchiya, T (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Tabata, O (author)We report a multiple patterning approach utilizing digital-micromirror-device (DMD)-based grayscale lithography, providing a solution to improve fabrication accuracy for entire target three-dimensional structure. Because DMD-based lithography system consists a projection lens system, better resolution can be obtained around focal position...conference paper 2015

Papp, Z. (author)Atmospheric entry is a process defined by extremes, from the great velocity at the point of entry to the high deceleration loads and aerodynamic heating in the lower layers of the atmosphere. In addition to the vehicle maintaining structural integrity, an equally important aspect of the re-entry mission is safety. This safety can only be...master thesis 2014

Stano, P.M. (author)A Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) is a ship that excavates sediments from the sea bottom while sailing. In situ material is excavated with a special tool called the Drag-Head, then it is hydraulically transported through a pipe to the hopper where it is temporarily stored. After the dredging is completed the collected material is...doctoral thesis 2013

La Roi, F.M. (author)The amount of travelers from and to the Dutch city Almere will grow from 40.000 back in 2009 to 100.00 in 2030. This requires intensive infrastructural improvements to the current situation of Almere. One of the main improvements of the network will be the redesign of the central station of the city. The current station is situated around a...master thesis 2012

Stefan, R.A. (author)One of the challenges of engineering is to make the best possible use of the available resources, or in other words allocating the resources in such a way as to maximize the overall profit. In the context of networks on chip the resources are represented by the communication bandwidth and the final profit is the performance of an application...doctoral thesis 2012
