Kuppers, Jean (author)The clustering of wind turbines in a wind farm results in overall efficiency losses as downstream wind turbines operate in the wake of their upstream neighbours. Wind farm flow control (WFFC) strategies have emerged to reduce these wake effects with the goal of maximising overall performance. Dynamic induction control (DIC) aims to enhance the...master thesis 2024

Shi, Dongdong (author)Wind energy becomes more and more popular since it is environmentally friendly. Wind farm control is one of the most popular topics and it works on steering the wind farm to extract energy from wind as much as possible. Generally, the model capturing wake effects between turbines in the wind farm plays a role in wind farm control. The existing...master thesis 2023

Prinsen, Jop (author)Wind farm control is an area of research that looks to maximise the performance of individual but most importantly the collective performance of wind farms. The performance of turbines located in a wind farm is heavily dependent on the effects of turbine wakes, and improving the efficiency of wind farms by mitigating the wake effects is an...master thesis 2023

Ottenheym, Joris (author)The placement of wind turbines in wind farms is economically beneficial to the industry. Consequently, the wake generated by the upstream turbines introduces interactions with downstream turbines that significantly affect power generation. However, it is common practice to control the individual turbines to operate at their optimal settings and...master thesis 2023

Kerssemakers, Daan (author)To accelerate the growth of offshore wind power, its Levelised Cost Of Energy (LCOE) must be reduced. A means of reducing the LCOE of offshore wind power is by mitigating the adverse wake effect by employing Wind Farm Control (WFC) for power maximization. A recent WFC technology is the helix approach, which uses Individual Pitch Control (IPC) to...master thesis 2022

Pollack, Justin (author)Nowadays, machine learning (ML) methods rapidly evolve for their use in model-based control applications. Model-based control requires an accurate model description of the dynamical system to reassure the performance of the controller. Conventionally, this model description is retrieved from first-principles modelling which can be problematic if...master thesis 2022

Halvorsen, Stijn (author)Wind energy plays an essential role in the transition to a sustainable future and wind turbines allow us to utilize it. Wind turbines are often installed in close proximity to make the best use of the given space and to save costs. This also has the disadvantage that the turbines influence each other due to wakes. This is where wind farm control...master thesis 2022

Wen, Haoyue (author)To extract energy from wind, both Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT)s and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)s are used. Different from the HAWT, the axis of rotation of the VAWT is perpendicular to the ground. This vertical design offers some unique advantages for the VAWT. For example, the generator of the VAWT is located on the ground, hence...master thesis 2022

van Hanswijk, Daniel (author)Growth of the population, industry and agriculture increases the demand for fresh water. However, with only a small portion of the water on earth being suitable for direct human use and consumption, this growth makes water scarcity an increasing problem. Seawater desalination is an effective method to counter such water stress. Reverse Osmosis ...master thesis 2021

Ruiterkamp, Gilian (author)In recent years wind turbines have become increasingly large to increase energy yield and cost-effectiveness. This has led to taller turbine towers, subjected to larger loads. As a result, Lagerwey turbines experience lateral tower vibrations at different resonance frequencies. These vibrations result in rotor speed measurement disturbances due...master thesis 2021
