Preliminary Powerplant concepts of a DSM production support vessel

A Digitised Exploration into the Design Space of Naval Power Plants: Optimal Power Plant Selection based on Ship and Client

The design space of power plants of naval surface vessels is ever expanding. As a result, the design space has become too large for a human design team to fully explore. Therefore, a concept exploration tool is introduced to generate and evaluate all possible concepts within the design space. An optimal solution is chosen based on ship...

Estimation of horizontal deformation rates based on tachymetric measurements: Processing measurements collected yearly in the geothermal area Bjarnarflag in North-East Iceland from 2015 to 2018

Measurements of a tachymetric network in the geothermal area of Bjarnarflag in North-East Iceland are performed during four consecutive years (2015-2018). For the yearly adjustment of the measurements an alternative iteration scheme to Baarda’s ’B-method of testing’ is proposed, because the level of significance of the F-test performed in the...

Backyard Beauty: Powerplant of 2050

In 2050 the characteristics of the Port of Amsterdam will be totally changed. Enormous developments will change our area to a highly dense urban city. The Hemweg centrale will be closed down, but how can we create our energy then? The demand for energy will increase. New technique shows other ways of creating energy, like nuclear fusion. Nuclear...

Power plant investment processes

This thesis reviews large scale power plant investment processes in the Netherlands based on the bounded rationality perspective. This leads implementation recommendations for use in an Agent-based model. The analyses comprise of a literature review, review of empirical results (confidential interviews) and analysis of Agent-based modeling....

Optimisation of the Kayamkulam Terminal

The growth of the population of India has caused an electricity shortage on India's west coast. As a result of this shortage the Indian government has decided to commission the building of several new power plants along India's west coast, one of these power plants is located near Kayamkulam in the state of Kerala. The Kayamkulam powerplant is a...

Bay of Fundy: Tidal powr project

In the first fase of this study, attention is paid to the cross section of the dam for a plant in Cumberland Basin, capacity 1085 MW. Chosen is for generation over the ebb with use of bulb turbines. The main subject of this study was the design of the turbine caisson. The main subjects are Design principles, Dimensions, Loading and Foundation....
