Dinkla, Rogier (author)Wind turbines offer an appealing method for power generation. In the fight against global warming wind energy helps realise green house gas emission reduction targets. Moreover, given a globally increasing demand for energy, the role of wind energy is set to become even more important. Historically, the cost of wind energy has decreased...master thesis 2021

Debusscher, Charles (author)Due to the limited availability of sites on both land and sea, there is a need to maximize the power density of wind farms whilst limiting the adverse wake effect between the wind turbines that cause power losses and/or increased load cases. The study focuses on analyzing the potential of combining yaw-based wake-steering and constant blade...master thesis 2020

Amijs, Tijn (author)The development of an Active Reflection Compensation (ARC) algorithm for a wave generator is challenging. Water behaves in a strong nonlinear way and the time available for the computation of the compensating segment displacements is short. Especially for the case where the wave height sensors are mounted on the surface of the segments. The...master thesis 2020

Rajasekaran, N. (author)The power generated from wind is not synchronized to the electrical frequency of the power grid. Grid balancing services must be assured when the output from a wind farm is integrated into the electrical grid to avoid the risk of blackouts.<b> Active Power Control (APC)</b> methods are employed to provide grid balancing ancillary services such...master thesis 2020

Stinenbosch, Tobias (author)In the past decade, the wind energy subsidies provided by the Dutch government is declining. In order to adopt wind energy as a well-established source of renewable energy, the costs of (offshore) wind energy should be lowered. This can be achieved by increasing the energy production or by lowering the maintenance and initial costs. In search of...master thesis 2020

Boehmer, Daniel (author)Wind energy plays a major role in the ongoing energy transition. To accelerate the adoption of wind energy and thereby the energy transition, the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) has to be minimized. Apart from increasing turbine performance, reducing turbine down-time can contribute to lowering the LCOE.Down-time is defined as time during which...master thesis 2019

van der Geest, Lars (author)This thesis report is focused on the design of a guidance and control system that is able to minimize the deviation from the desired impact point for a firing range of 1 kilometer, given a 30mm spinning gun-launched projectile with a novel actuator design. This actuator is fixed on the projectile and offers a single force that can only be...master thesis 2019

Clarenburg, Jimmy (author)Designing a controlled offshore system is a challenging process, the system dynamics are often nonlinear and subjected to loads that are random in nature. Furthermore, the proper description of the system’s dynamical behaviour involves knowledge pertaining to several fields. Unfortunately, at the design level, the process is often segregated...master thesis 2019

Tripathy, Navdeep (author)In the thesis, the challenge of precisely developing a data-driven Linear Time Invariant MIMO Reticle Heating Induced Deformation Prediction (RHIDP) model for ASML's DUV systems is presented. The model is developed for two inputs, namely airflow temperature and dose for full field exposures. A reduced order data-driven based approach for...master thesis 2018

Disario, Gianmarco (author)<br/>Wind energy currently is one of the most attractive solutions to help in the goal of switching to a more sustainable way of energy production. To stay competitive with other forms of energy production, the reduction of the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) is an important indicator. One way of achieving this goal is by increasing the size of...master thesis 2018

Claassen, Eva (author)The Ampelmann system offers a safe and reliable solution for offshore access. As safety is a key factor, an extensive safety and warning management system is employed which accommodates for different fault types that may occur. Accommodation of sensor failure in the Ampelmann system is currently done through switching to a redundant component....master thesis 2018

Heinen, Kars (author)PID is the most popular controller in the industry. PID controllers are linear, and thus have fundamental limitations, such that certain performance criteria cannot be achieved. To overcome these limitations, nonlinear reset control can be used. Reset control can achieve less overshoot and a faster response time than linear controllers. However,...master thesis 2018

Terlouw, Maarten (author)Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technique to generate electricity by using the thermal gradient available in the ocean to drive a heat engine. In order for OTEC to become successful it is important to reduce the levelized cost of electricity. The development of an effective control system can aid in this endeavour, by making sure...master thesis 2018

van Stappen, Jeroen (author)At large oceans depths (5000m) manganese nodules are formed, these are rock shaped objects that contain various rare earth metals, Royal IHC is currently developing equipment to bring these nodules to the shore. The nodules will be transported to the water surface using a Vertical Transport System (VTS).<br/><br/>In the VTS insight of the...master thesis 2018

van Bruggen, Thomas (author)Infant mortality is a significant problem in mooring design. The objective of this thesis is to design a generic fault detection system for mooring line failures, which can accurately detect a mooring line failure within a certain time frame. The research is done through Catenary Arm Leg Mooring (CALM) buoy systems, as this thesis is a Proof of...master thesis 2018

Teddy Andreas Simanjuntak, Teddy (author)During S-lay pipeline installation, tension fluctuations in the suspended pipeline are compensated by the tensioner system on the vessel. The goal of this thesis is to answer the questions: to what extent does the active tension compensation (ATC) influence the pipeline integrity during offshore installation. Secondly, which tensioner model...master thesis 2017

Walgaard, Bart (author)Motion compensation for personnel transfer has greatly reduced costs and increased accessibility for offshore assets operation and maintenance. Solutions exist using hexapods or gangways that make a stiff connection by clamping to a customized offshore structure. State of the art gangways allow for a stepless workflow and have a rubber tip which...master thesis 2017

Verhage, Jaco (author)Heave Compensation (HC) greatly improves the operability of lifting operations at sea, performed from ships under influence of heave motion. Especially with long cables and heavy payloads, the payload starts moving with larger amplitudes than the ship itself when no HC control is involved. HC aims to decouple the ships vertical motion due to the...master thesis 2017

Neogi, Sabyasachi (author)The energy demand in current times has increased greatly in last few years. This increasing demand calls for a sustainable and clean energy resource that would reduce the load on non-renewable resources. Wind energy is a renewable resource which is harnessed by mankind from an ancient era. So as to meet this increasing energy demands, innovation...master thesis 2017
