In the future, a large-scale expansion of offshore wind energy is expected in the Netherlands. For this large-scale expansion, a well-designed offshore network is needed. Different network configurations will lead to other availability of the offshore network and therefore also the offshore wind energy. This research studies the contribution of...

Worldwide rising gas demand is creating new opportunities for low-permeability gas reservoirs to be exploited with large hydraulic fracturing campaigns. These so-called tight gas reservoirs have been subject of much research over the past three decades, primarily because it is difficult to optimize recovery. In this thesis, post-fracture...

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...

The main topic that is researched in this study is: what performative architecture is and its role in the design process and product. In the scope of performative architecture the aim is to focus what a building does rather than what it is and the fact that architecture should have the capability of being adaptable to changing time, conditions...

We all have walked on a street when suddenly someone comes over to you asking for directions. Sometimes, people do not know where they are and they do not know how to reach their destination. They are lost. However, people should not depend on others to find their way. The urban fabric should be legible enough to find one’s way. The problem...

European railways have faced fundamental reforms to their organizational structures in the past decades. The reform plans, instigated by the European Union, resulted in a vast arrange of organizational structures visible today, more or less unique per EU member state. The main question that arises: do performances of European railways relate to...

Rail related infrastructure projects, like many projects, often fail to deliver within budget and time. The root cause of most failures however is not technical, but rather, managerial. The existing scientific literature reveals that the impact of unexpected events in the project is a major contributor to these overruns. There is not, however, a...

Goal The original goal of the project was to find a way in which a captured design process can hold added value to the designer, and to design a tool in which this can be made possible. Current ways of documenting design processes are too much of a burden. The project has led to a design proposal of a tool for design teams, to facilitate...

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a delivery model of cloud computing, which provides the ability to users to acquire and release resources according to their demand and pay according to their usage. Resources are provisioned from the cloud as Virtual Machines (VMs), many of which can be deployed on a single computing node, realizing a multi...

As a building ages the building performance demands may change. The CEG building is a representative case of building that has to face modern demands. Indoor comfort is a subject which does not only depend on physical parameters, but also on the occupants perception of comfort. To capture this duality this research has performed a user research....

The sensor-based approach of Incremental Backstepping is applied to flight control law design in this research project. It allows the usage of the same control law on different types of aircraft without the need for redesign. Apart from full state availability, the derivation of Incremental Backstepping assumes instantaneous control action. Due...

Within the field of Product Design is an increasing interest in designing with emerging markets. Considering how long people have already been concerned with increasing global living standards it is surprising how little has been achieved. This suggests our current methods are insufficient.
