Dangi, Nirav (author)The wind turbine wake is a downstream region of kinetic energy and velocity deficit, higher turbulence and has a complex helical vortex structure. The wind turbine wake’s stability depends mainly on the ambient turbulence and the wind turbine tip- speed ratio. Researchers have developed several wake control techniques to mitigate this issue,...master thesis 2023

van Beveren, Koen (author)This research is carried out in collaboration with Vattenfall, to investigate the performance of a 76-turbine onshore wind farm. Since the start of operation, the wind farm has not been reaching P50 production estimates. Over the first five years of operation, there has been a big average gap between Annual Energy Production (AEP) and long-term...master thesis 2023

Pelle, Mathieu (author)With the increasing number of wind farm projects, a growing interest is seen towards the extension of wind turbine durability and the optimisation of energy production. A promising technology in this direction, is the use of lidars for remote sensing of wind fields and particularly for lidar-assisted control of wind turbines. Many investigations...master thesis 2022

Kokkedee, Jop (author)With an ever increasing demand for sustainable energy, limitations of current sustainable technologies are studied widely. In wind farms, the so-called wake effect provides the biggest limitation on wind farm total power output. Using wind from the unaffected boundary layer to re-energize the wind flow in the wake provides a method of limiting...master thesis 2022

Wiskie, Rodney (author)Due to the ever increasing demand of energy and the urgency in which this has to be produced using renewable energy resources the request for offshore wind farms is larger than ever. As a result of the competitive nature of the energy sector it is important to keep the cost of energy low in order to keep an edge over the competition. Therefore,...master thesis 2021

Ranka, Preeti (author)With the growing offshore wind industry, ramp events, i.e., significant variation in wind speed (or power) within a short time period, have become of critical importance to the end-users. The analysis of wind power ramp events from the perspective of grid operators or energy traders is prevalent in the literature. Nonetheless, this area of...master thesis 2021

Kerkhofs, Giel (author)The installed offshore wind energy capacity in Europe has been increasing rapidly over the past years, this trend is expected to continue thanks to the European green deal. In order to meet the future energy demand, new wind energy solutions such as increasing wind turbine size but also floating structures are being developed. This means that...master thesis 2021

de Jong, Anoeska (author)A new wind shear relation is derived based on the atmospheric equations of motion, which are, in turn, based on the Navier-Stokes equations. In order to make the obtained system of equations solvable, it is assumed that the air density and pressure follow the International Standard Atmosphere relations and that the wind speed is constant over...master thesis 2021

Pol, Lennard (author)Several factors play a role in the ongoing process of the acceptance and eventual universal use of LiDAR remote sensing technology in wind site assessment. Especially turbulence parameter 푇퐼 is still giving food for thought. Three important aspects of LiDAR measured 푇퐼 that are considered key are picked out and feature in this work, which...master thesis 2020

Brouwer, Patriek (author)Our present-day society is utterly dependant on electricity. This dependence will only grow as electrification of sectors such as manufacturing, transportation and building heating takes off. Most of the electricity these days comes from conventional plants running on coal and natural gas. Despite that these are reliable and cheap, the...master thesis 2019

van der Linden, Lars (author)The offshore wind energy market is highly dynamic and one of the major challenges is to become more cost competitive against other sources of energy. The support structure of an offshore wind turbine shows a high potential for further cost reduction. Jules Dock is investigating in the replacement of a steel tower on a monopile foundation by a...master thesis 2019

Haugen, Erik (author)Flows over complex terrains present uncertainties in wind farm power production and lifespan. Core to these uncertainties are wake dynamics, which lack adequate models and need further validation. In lieu of conducting field experiments, this study integrates scanning lidar measurements and large eddy simulation (LES) to characterize wakes in...master thesis 2018

Waars, Niels (author)Modern multi-megawatt wind turbines are tall and may reach heights of 200 meter. Tall wind turbines require measurements above typical measurement mast height. As tall measurement masts are expensive and cumbersome to install, wind measurements at hub height are scarce. Currently, the use of lidars in wind measurement campaigns is increasing....master thesis 2017

Keus, R. (author)Monitoring and optimising turbine performance are important tasks of a wind energy operator. However, monitoring activities are expensive and the current state-of-the-art in this field could be improved. A newly developed Avent five-beam Lidar was tested and the impact of heterogeneity on Lidar measurements was analysed. Also, the effect of...master thesis 2017

Ploumakis, E. (author)Wake effects in wind farms are a major source of power production losses and fatigue loads on the rotors. It has been demonstrated that in large wind farms the only source of kinetic energy to balance that extracted by the turbines is the vertical transport of the free-stream flow kinetic energy from above the wind-turbine canopy. This chapter...master thesis 2016

Cool, G.A. (author)Wind assessment of new locations prior to the installation of wind turbines is an established process. However, this process is still very costly. The common way to measure offshore wind profiles is the usage of met masts, which get more expensive with increasing water depth and hub height. Recently, wind measurement LiDARs are installed on...master thesis 2016

Vermeij, R. (author)Communication in wind farm development is complex. A relationship between wind farm developers and residents which is based on reciprocity can lead to the trust and commitment necessary to deal with these complexities. The role of reciprocity is researched in a case study and a network model of reciprocity is developed. Implementing the findings...master thesis 2016

van Eijk, Stefan (author)Wind turbine design is subject to load calculation standards. These determine material use which in turn affects wind turbine costs. Wind turbine cost reductions are important as they contribute to the economic feasibility of wind turbines. Therefore careful evaluation of the load standards is paramount for wind turbine design. This thesis...master thesis 2016
