Menken, Maarten (author)Lithium-ion batteries are the dominant electrochemical energy storage device and are a key enabler of portable electronics and electric vehicles. However, the technology is often criticized for its use of rare metals. Extending the lifetime of lithium-ion batteries can allow for more time to develop rare metal recycling efforts but this requires...master thesis 2023

van de Ketterij, Dennis (author)Inherent limitations of linear control, including PID, are Bode's phase-gain relationship and the waterbed-effect. Literature showed that reset control can overcome these limitations. The 'Constant in Gain, Lead in Phase' (CgLp) reset element was developed, which can be used in combination with a conventional PID approach. The benefit is that...master thesis 2023

van Vondelen, A.A.W. (author), Iliopoulos, Alexandros (author), Navalkar, S.T. (author), van der Hoek, D.C. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Operational modal analysis (OMA) is an essential tool for understanding the structural dynamics of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). However, the classical OMA algorithms require the excitation of the structure to be stationary white noise, which is often not the case for operational OWTs due to the presence of periodic excitation caused by...journal article 2023

Zou, Joanna (author), Lourens, E. (author), Cicirello, A. (author)Virtual sensing techniques have gained traction in applications to the structural health monitoring of monopile-based offshore wind turbines, as the strain response below the mudline, which is a primary indicator of fatigue damage accumulation, is impractical to measure directly with physical instrumentation. The Gaussian process latent force...journal article 2023

Khodabandeh, A. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Psychas, D. (author)To obtain single-receiver Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) parameter solutions, the PPP-RTK user-filter combines measurements with time-correlated corrections that are separately computed by the filter of an external provider. The consequence of exercising such double-filtering is that the Kalman filter’s standard assumption of...journal article 2023

Veen, Thijs (author)Indoor localisation is a growing field of interest in recent studies. While GPS (global positioning system) is a standard for outdoor localisation, no such solution exists for indoor applications. The literature provides several methods to obtain the location of indoor systems, often using optical sensors. A small number of recent studies use...master thesis 2022

Ni, Ying-Chuan (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) relieves human drivers’ tasks by taking over the control of the throttle and braking of the vehicles automatically. However, it has been demonstrated in many empirical studies that current production ACC systems fail to guarantee string stability. It is believed that if vehicles can take the longitudinal dynamics...master thesis 2022

Li, Z. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Multiagent systems have been widely researched and deployed in the industry for their potential to collectively achieve goals by distributing tasks to individual agents [1]–[4]. Formation control, one of the many applications of multiagent systems, aims at steering agents into a stable geometric pattern in space [3], [4]. There has been a...conference paper 2022

de Rooij, S.J.S. (author), Hunyadi, Borbala (author)Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting nearly 1% of the global population. It is defined by the seemingly random occurrence of spontaneous seizures. Anti-epileptic drugs provide adequate treatment for about 70% of patients. The remaining 30%, on the other hand, continue to have seizures, which has a significant...conference paper 2022

Goedemondt, K.S. (author), Yang, J. (author), Wang, Q. (author)Touchscreens and buttons had became a medium for virus transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen in our daily life that people use tissues and keys to press buttons inside elevators, on public screens, etc. In the post- COVID world, touch-free interaction with public touchscreens and buttons may become more popular. Motivated by...conference paper 2022

van der Marel, M.P. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Formation control (FC) of multi-agent systems plays a critical role in a wide variety of fields. In the absence of absolute positioning, agents in FC systems rely on relative position measurements with respect to their neighbors. In distributed filter design literature, relative observation models are comparatively unexplored, and in FC...conference paper 2022

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Khodabandeh, A. (author), Psychas, D.V. (author)In this contribution, we introduce a generalized Kalman filter with precision in recursive form when the stochastic model is misspecified. The filter allows for a relaxed dynamic model in which not all state vector elements are connected in time. The filter is equipped with a recursion of the actual error-variance matrices so as to provide an...journal article 2021
