Yao, X. (author), He, Yufei (author), Udomboonyanupap, S. (author), Hessenberger, Norbert (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)Seat pressure maps are often used to evaluate comfort of the users. In this study, we explored the relationships between pressure maps and comfort/discomfort of users in aircraft seats with a focus on a new 6-division method on the pressure maps collected at the bottom of the cushions. An experiment was designed where three cushions with...journal article 2022

Veviurko, G. (author), Böhmer, J.W. (author), Mackay, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)Many electric vehicles (EVs) are using today’s distribution grids, and their flexibility can be highly beneficial for the grid operators. This flexibility can be best exploited by DC power networks, as they allow charging and discharging without extra power electronics and transformation losses. From the grid control perspective, algorithms for...journal article 2022

Pohl, D. (author)The digital era has supposedly had a drastic impact on contemporary forms of political debate. Live-tweets, podcasts, and posts have become the main channels for politics, polemics, and populism alike. But these tendencies are not only an acceleration of the politics of media brought about by the logics behind television, cybernetics, and...journal article 2022

Bellizio, Federica (author), Bugaje, Al Amin B. (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Strbac, Goran (author)Machine Learning (ML) for real-time Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) promises a probabilistic approach to secure lower safety margins and costs. However, future systems with a high share of renewables have low inertia and converter-interfaced devices resulting in faster dynamics. Past research on ML-based DSA used high inertia systems to...journal article 2022
