Owen, C.C. (author)
The imminence of anthropogenic climate change has motivated a global energy transition towards sustainable power generation. Offshore wind—an important contributor to the energy transition—is expanding, not only in turbine size and number of installations, but also into regions with harsher environmental conditions. One of those conditions in...

Responding rapidly to epidemic outbreaks presents significant challenges, due to resource, capacity and time limitations. Anticipatory Action (AA) is a newly emerging strategy in the field of humanitarian aid, designed to preemptively address potential crises. By taking impact-reducing actions before a disaster strikes, AA seeks to minimize...

As the power system grows more complex and active, equivalent models have become a solution for modelling parts of the network that have limited observability or are confidential or too complex to simulate otherwise. In the past decade, this topic has also made its way to distribution networks because of its transition towards an active network,...

Overconsumption plays a big part in the current environmental crisis, making a shift towards sufficient consumption imperative. Since overconsumption is often a habit, triggering a stop and re-think process in the consumers' minds may be the way for reduction. Societal norms, proven effective for behaviour change, could disrupt consumption...

With renewed interest in the development of civil supersonic aircraft, their return in the future is becoming more ever more likely. The environmental impact of emissions in the stratosphere on climate and the ozone layer therefore needs to be explored. The stratospheric ozone levels determine the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching...

While the assumption of incompressible flow has been the prevailing standard for numerical simulations of wind turbine aerodynamics, the limit of this assumption is approached as the industry progresses towards increasingly higher operational tip speeds. This thesis explores the implications of compressibility and transonic flow phenomena,...

Buriani, Gioele (author)
This work introduces a novel methodology for the development of interpretable reduced-order dynamic models specifically tailored for jumping quadruped robots. Leveraging Symbolic Regression combined with autoencoder neural networks, the framework autonomously derives symbolic equations from data and fundamental physics principles capturing the...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid materials with metal-based inorganic nodes connected by organic linkers via strong coordination bonds. These building blocks can be arranged in 3-D crystalline lattices to synthesize structures with varying pore sizes and a variety of structures (tuneability). These hybrid materials possess...

Strong intergenerational relationships can provide emotional support and stability for both grandparents and grandchildren. Technology tools have been proven to be beneficial in connecting grandchildren and grandparents. Prior work mainly examined how to use technology to connect children and their grandparents over a distance. Those collocated...

Drones are increasingly used nowadays, primarily for visual inspection tasks facilitated by onboard cameras. The field of aerial manipulation tries to expand the capabilities of drones by attaching a manipulator, enabling physical interaction. Unfortunately, the usability of aerial manipulators is hindered by disturbances resulting from the...

Micro- and nanoelectromechanical (MEM/NEM) resonators are used in numerous fields of engineering and are crucial for time keeping, synchronization, and sensing applications. These systems are subjected to energy dissipation, which is a limiting factor in the performance. Extensive understanding is essential when nonlinearities show up in both...

Offshore mussel cultivation is gaining popularity, with the longline technique emerging as a popular method for cultivation. The longline technique entails multiple backbones from which mussel lines that loop around it are suspended and which are kept afloat by buoys. Overdulve Offshore Services designed the Cees Leenaars, a semi-submersible...

Nature has inspired countless researchers in their quest to understand the phenomena we observe and utilise their findings to develop new technologies. This becomes especially apparent in systems chemistry, which heavily draws inspiration from natural systems in its pursuit for the understanding and development of chemical reaction networks ...

van Bergeijk, Ferd (author)
Model-based testing (MBT) is applied for the verification of simple simulation models used in modeling & simulation for decision-making. It is found that MBT of simulation models is not discussed much in literature, and that existing case studies on this topic do not give guidelines for test model design. It is established that testing...

This thesis explores how forecasts of Dutch government bond yields can be improved by extending the current Dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) model, used by the Dutch State Treasury Agency (DSTA), with stochastic volatility modeling and a Bayesian approach to parameter estimation and forecasting. The primary goal was to determine if the model...

The demand for sustainable and clean energy sources has become increasingly vital in addressing the challenges of climate change and energy security. Hydrogen, with its high energy density and potential for carbon-free energy conversion, has emerged as a promising candidate for future energy systems. Efficient storage and retrieval of hydrogen...

With growing demand for air transportation, it is crucial to improve the efficiency of aircraft systems design. A key area of focus is the implementation of manufacturability considerations into the design process at early stages. This could be done by integrating manufacturability analysis modules into an MDAO workflow, however, each production...

In recent years, the deployment of ground-based mobile robots has gained more and more interest in various domains. In contrast to other types of mobile robots, legged robots can traverse irregular terrains, climb stairs, and step over obstacles. However, these unique properties intensify the energy demand and require highly advanced perception...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for residential areas are becoming increasingly important as the urban population keeps growing and extreme weather conditions due to climate change are becoming more prevalent. Since CFD simulations simulate and visualise fluid flows, users can analyse and predict air flows in urban environments,...

Society is finally entering a new age of renewable energy development. For the first time it is truly conceivable to power a vast majority of global energy use with a combination of wind, solar, and other forms of low carbon, renewable power. The rise of electrification and so called ”Power to X”, where renewable energy is used to create other...
