This study focuses on optimizing the use of high-performance computing on public cloud infrastructure, along with information theory, for assessing water systems. These assessments are computationally intensive and can benefit from parallel computing and the evaluation of the collected data with information theory. A case study of a water system...

Previous research into floating offshore wind turbines consistently shows some manner of discrepancy between numerical and experimental simulations when it comes to low frequency forces and motions. A part of solving this issue is the generation of accurate data for the calibration and validation of the numerical models, needed because of the...

The first part of the thesis explores the process of homogenization, particularly for the permeability properties of rock samples. The Hill-Mandel postulate of energy consistency throughout the transitioning of scales is revisited since traditional homogenization methods rely on applying specific boundary conditions to enforce energy consistency...

With the pressing matter of climate change, the importance of renewable energy sources is increasing day by day. A large portion of this renewable energy is to be generated with the use of wind turbines, which are commonly located onshore. In recent decades, great effort has been put in the development to place these turbines offshore, because...

During ‘float-out’ installation of export cables, the cable is pulled to shore while floating, supported by inflatable floaters. Understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour of these cable-floater-systems (CFS’s) is important, to be able to relate the hydraulic environment to the cable stresses and determine the maximum allowed hydraulic conditions...

Why do engineers often design what people don't want? And why do people often want solutions that are not feasible? This is because the current design and decision support optimisation methodologies are one-sided and ignore or fail to capture the dynamic interaction between people's preferences (desirability) and technical assets' performance ...

In the last few years, the climate crisis has been accelerating at a dizzying pace and poses an emergency threat to our planet. Rainfalls have transformed into intense downpours, and flash flooding, combined with the sea level rise, leads to a higher risk of inundation of densely populated coastal cities. Moreover, the melting of the permafrost...

Offshore lifting operations must have reduced payload motion to increase safety and reduce operating time. When payload is retrieved from the splash zone to the deck, besides the crane block, no additional control can be applied on the underactuated system. Existing studies either assume more control over the payload or develop a control system...

The slip joint connection is a relatively new alternative method for connecting offshore wind turbine towers to prior installed monopiles. It consists of two overlapping conical sections that together form a connection. There are several challenges left to be solved before the slip joint can be applied on a commercial scale. One of those...

Climate change is triggering an ever-growing demand for renewable energy. The U.S. is still far behind Europe when it comes to offshore wind energy. They have made ambitious plans to reach 30 GW in offshore wind energy by 2030 while currently 42 MW is installed. One of the main challenges in the U.S. is the installation method since a...

Nautical radar systems are subjected to random vibrations during their service life, which may lead to the degradation of the materials and a possible fatigue failure. Assessing the impact of these vibrations to the structural integrity of the radar is crucial for drafting appropriate maintenance plans and therefore, the development of a new...

Weirs are constructed inside rivers to manage the water level. On the one hand they need to be designed sufficiently strong to prevent failure or destruction, while on the other hand they need to be economically feasible. If a structure is designed too strong, unnecessary costs are made and the structure becomes too expensive.<br/><br/>One of...

The world is currently in a global energy transition. To reach the global energy goals requires massive deployment of clean and efficient energy technologies. The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) therefore has to be scaled up. Offshore deployment of floating PV would be a suitable solution. There are currently different concepts in development for...

With the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal, countries need to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their renewable energy production. For countries with high population density, land-based photovoltaics (solar) takes up valuable space. Therefore, solar application at sea is considered. <br/><br/>One of the...

For both developed and developing nations, coastal zones form an attractive location for urban settlements. With the expected increase in the earth’s population, coastal areas will experience a further increase of inhabitants. Floating city development could therefore be an interesting alternative for land-based urban expansion on land [41]....

In this thesis I will show the realisation of a multiline anchor system using a suction pile anchor (SPA). From the literature research it can be concluded that the SPA is a suitable anchor for a multiline anchor system and that the most probable mooring configurations will be either the original single-line, the 3-line or the 6-line system....

At the moment, the world is at the verge of an energy transition. One of the most promising green resources is solar energy, which is a rapidly growing market. However, to fully use its potential of economy of scale, the application of offshore floating solar should be explored. A promising option is the use of a flexible type of Very Large...

Using a floating vessel operating on its DP-system and using a motion-compensated pile gripper to install monopiles could be the installation method of the future. Therefore, this thesis focuses on this method. The main objective of this thesis project is to build a model that accurately describes the motions of the Stella Synergy, the monopile,...

Bayesian system identification, including parameter estimation and model selection, is widely used to infer partially known, unobservable parameters of the models of physical systems when measurement data is available. A common assumption in the Bayesian system identification...
