Yeh, Jefferson (author)Wind energy, generated by windfarms, is playing an increasingly critical role in meeting current and future energy demands. windfarms, however, face a challenge due to the inherent flaw of wake-induced power losses when turbines are located in close proximity. Wakes, characterized by regions of turbulence and lower wind speed, are created as air...bachelor thesis 2023

van Selm, Jasper (author)When multiple wind turbines are positioned close to one another, such as in a wind farm, wind turbines located downwind of other turbines are not 100% efficient due to wakes, negatively affecting the total power output of the wind farm. A way to mitigate the loss of power is to steer the wake away from the next turbine, which lowers the current...bachelor thesis 2023

Filimon, Mihai (author)The close proximity of wind turbines to one another in a wind farm can lead to inefficiency in terms of power production due to wake effects. One technique to mitigate the losses is to veer from their individual optimal direction. As such, the wakes can be steered away from downstream turbines in order to increase the overall power output. Multi...bachelor thesis 2023

Plămădeală, Ion (author)The wake effect which is turbulence behind a wind turbine created when it extracts energy negatively impacts the power output of the downstream turbines. Active Wake Control can mitigate this effect, by rotating some turbines away from the wind. Previous research applied single agent reinforcement learning to apply Active Wake Control, show- ing...bachelor thesis 2023

Li, Wenkai (author)Concurrency bugs are easy to introduce but dif- ficult to detect, especially in implementations of distributed algorithms where concurrency non- determinism is an inherent problem. These bugs may only be identified under very specific order- ings of execution events, making them challenging to reproduce. Controlled concurrency testing tech-...bachelor thesis 2023

Metz, Jan-Paul (author), Jaspers, Joost (author)The primary objective of the subsystem discussed in this report is to continuously estimate the transfer-response of the system using the position measured by the interferometer, in order to accomplish adapted model inverted control using a dynamically updating model. In addition, this subsystem design incorporates a controller that is crucial...bachelor thesis 2023

van der Schaaf, Guus (author)In wind farms wind turbines are often placed close to each other. Each turbine generates a turbulent wake field, this field negatively affects subsequent turbines. This can cost more than 12% efficiency. To decrease this loss we can steer the turbines away from the wind direction, this will decrease the individual turbine power output, but can...bachelor thesis 2023

Mladenov, Martin (author)Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are sometimes exposed on the public Internet. It is possible to quickly and efficiently identify such exposed services. They are commonly part of critical infrastructure, so they need to be protected against cyber attacks. In the past, researchers have scanned the Internet to detect such...bachelor thesis 2023

Nijenhuis, Jonathan (author), Zunderman, Timo (author)This thesis describes the design and implementation of a controller and GUI for an AI loudspeaker filter design program. This program uses a genetic algorithm to create a combination of analog passive filters, one for each driver in a loudspeaker system. In the controller, two cost functions are designed to evaluate these filter combinations,...bachelor thesis 2023

Plas, Nicolas (author)Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a relatively new networking paradigm that proposes to separate the control and the data logic in networks. The control logic is centralized in a controller, which allows for a programmable network. SDN is promising but also intro- duces some critical security vulnerabilities to networks. This work proposes a...bachelor thesis 2022

Ajanidisz, Andris (author)Microtask crowdsourcing has grown in popularity in recent years. Microtasking is a form of crowdsourcing in which typically small, simple tasks are distributed over the Internet to a large number of people, also known as workers. Workers are highly susceptible to developing musculoskeletal disorders due to prolonged computer use and the...bachelor thesis 2022

Mortier, Lucas (author)Dit rapport behandelt een wissel die geen bewegende delen bezit en hierdoor geen controle circuit nodig heeft. Het rapport bezit een analyse van verschillende bestaande wissels en wisselconcepten, beide in hoofdspoor en tramspoor, om een evaluatie te geven van elk concept. Op deze manier is bepaald of een zodanig "statische wissel" wenselijk is...bachelor thesis 2022
