Innovative Sensor Networks in Ghana: Operating and validating sensor networks for river discharge in Ghana during the wet season

In a Ghana project, field measurements at the Black Volta aimed to enhance hydrological predictions for the Bui power dam. Validating devices and exploring floodplain contributions, such as with GNSS reflectometry and cameras, provides crucial insights for dam management and model improvement.<br/><br/>In this multidisciplinary project,...

Embedded Memory Security: Preventing hardware based attacks on the memory of IoT devices

The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown dramatically over the past years. Largely autonomous, lightweight devices with an internet connection have been integrated into many aspects of daily life; from consumer products to industrial processes and from medical applications to critical infrastructures. Cisco predicts that by 2023, more than half of...

Comprehensive Business Modelling: Hydrogen and its Integration in the Dutch Energy System: Business modelling from the perspective of a public-private partnership for the case of ‘H-vision’, a project for the implementation of blue hydrogen in the Port of Rotterdam

The goal of this thesis is to determine the effects of integrating blue hydrogen into the Dutch energy system. A new framework is presented to assess several different designs for the business model, infrastructure, and market. This framework is applied to the case of the H-vision project. Three business models are tested against three energy...

Sound localization using an array of Acoustic Vector Sensors: Mainstation data processing

In this thesis five different Direction Of Arrival algorithms will be developed for use with Microflown's Acoustic Vector Sensors, which will determine the direction an acoustic signal originates from. These algorithms will run on a main-station that will remotely receive data from an array of AVSs. The performance of these algorithms is...
