Langenberg, J.W. (author)Electricity is an essential service that can be seen as a utility necessary for modern life. It is typically generated in large scale power plants, and must then be transported through a capital intensive infrastructure known as the transmission grid. It can not be easily stored for later use, which implies that supply and demand of it must be...master thesis 2009

Stegers, E.M. (author)The goal of this thesis is developing an efficient method that produces good quality solutions to real-life Vehicle Routing Problems with time-dependent travel times. The Time-Dependent Vehicle Routing Problem (TDVRP) is one of the most challenging combinatorial optimisation problems and belongs to the category of NP-hard problems. Therefore,...master thesis 2009

Kusters Viale, L.A. (author)This master-thesis analyzes the deployment of congestion protection strategies to improve the bus running time through a specific case; an intersection in the city of Boston, United States of America. At this juncture two bus routes, operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (the transit authority), suffer from congestion...master thesis 2010

Van Beek, R.B. (author)The introduction of large numbers of Electric Vehicles (EV) poses significant challenges to the power infrastructure. The combination of expected consumer recharging behaviour and the technical characteristics of the EV’s recharging power demand could potentially lead to significant increases in peak demand and cause overloads. Conventional...master thesis 2010

Van Zundert, H.C.W. (author)Many large airport face problems of congestion in the terminal. Several studies have identified the check-in process as the bottleneck process. However, proposed solutions in literature are limited to changes inside the terminal. In this research, a wider supply chain perspective is applied to the passenger and baggage flows of airports. An off...master thesis 2010

Backhaus, E. (author)In many cases, congestion is a recurrent problem that exists in electricity lines since the demand, in general, steadily increases whereas lines capacity cannot increase in small increments but only in multiple units of line capacity. Congestion in electricity lines hampers the interconnection of local markets because the interconnection line...master thesis 2010

Miete, O.M. (author)In hydraulic engineering it is known that for the evaluation of the performance of a system, a probabilistic approach is preferable to a deterministic one. The essence of such a probabilistic approach is that random variability/uncertainty is explicitly taken into account. In this graduation project, this probabilistic way of looking at a system...master thesis 2011

Van Blijswijk, M.J. (author)Due to the introduction of a new grid connection policy, transmission system operator TenneT expects congestion to arise on the Dutch transmission grid in the near future. This new connection policy was introduced by the Ministry of Economic Affairs to abolish the discrimination between existing grid users and new entrants, and should improve...master thesis 2011

Tessema, B.T. (author)The main focus of the transmission expansion planning is to find the optimal structure and least cost transmission investment alternatives of the forecasted load and generation configuration. In this paper, transmission investment methodology which focuses on alleviation of transmission line congestions is proposed. The proposed methodology is...master thesis 2011

Ran, B.G. (author)The electricity power system is shifting from a high reliance on centralized large power plants towards a system in which distributed generation units, like solar panels, are penetrating into the lower parts of the power grid. As a result, the consumers are becoming active prosumers who in addition to consuming can also autonomously generate,...master thesis 2012

Kabali, H.P. (author)The project attempts to develop a strategic proposal through urban framed technique which structurally address the scalar increase of Mumbai megacity and its unequal opportunities. The result is to establish an integration of urban-business environments through Hi-speed infrastructures and therefore, reconfigure development towards hinterlands...master thesis 2012

Smid, R.M. (author)Congestion on the Dutch motorway network is an actual problem, which originated over the past decades. Over the past few years, the extent of congestion is decreasing, though still very significant. Road authorities therefore show interest in traffic congestion forecasting. In this way they can inform road users or undertake other strategic...master thesis 2012

Plink, R.H. (author)The increase of electricity generation by Renewable Energy Sources is desired in the next decade to achieve the European 2020 targets. Wind is considered to have the largest potential in achieving these targets. Taking into account the development of wind parks in the North Sea congestion is expected to increase in the Dutch electricity grid....master thesis 2013

Rayo, S. (author)Two typical types of channels are identified on the PIANC rules (one and two-way channel) and a detailed set of rules for conceptual design purposes is presented. Nevertheless, no explicit definition about when to use which type of channel is provided. For assessing the performance of an access channel, a new simulation model is programmed. This...master thesis 2013

Simoni, M.D. (author)Charging drivers for the congestion they cause is a well-known concept among economists, traffic engineers and transport professionals. Many studies have been performed to explore and better address this issue during the history of transport economics and in recent years the first congestion pricing schemes have been finally implemented in some...master thesis 2013

(author)Cartagena is one of the main touristic attractions of Colombia with its good conserved colonial city centre. The city also has an important contribution to the economic growth of Colombia, because of its big port and its beneficial location towards the Panama Channel. However, Cartagena is suffering from problems with the accessibility of...student report 2014

van der Meijden, Rune (author)The rapid and uncertain penetration of distributed energy resources is changing the way people are consuming electricity. This development increases the risk of instability and congestion in the grid, posing great challenges to system operators in the near future. In order to optimally allocate resources and plan grid enhancement, distribution...master thesis 2017
