Hulskemper, Daan (author)The Earth's landscapes are shaped by processes eroding, transporting, and depositing material over various timespans and spatial scales. To understand these surface activities and mitigate potential hazards they inflict, knowledge is needed of their occurrences and properties. Near-continuous terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables the...master thesis 2023

Morales, Raúl (author), Marín, Luis G. (author), Roje, Tomislav (author), Caquilpan, Víctor (author), Sáez, Doris (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author)Microgrids (MGs) are sustainable solutions for rural zone electrification that use local renewable resources. However, only careful planning at the start of an MG project can ensure its future optimal operation. In this paper, a novel methodology for MG planning by using the uncertainty characterization of renewable resources and demand is...journal article 2023

Saldaña Ochoa, Karla (author), Comes, M. (author)Along with climate change, more frequent extreme events, such as flooding and tropical cyclones, threaten the livelihoods and wellbeing of poor and vulnerable populations. One of the most immediate needs of people affected by a disaster is finding shelter. While the proliferation of data on disasters is already helping to save lives, identifying...conference paper 2021

Lourenço Baptista, M. (author), Elsa, Elsa M. (author), Goebel, Kai (author)When the influence of changing operational and environmental conditions, such as temperature and external loading, is not factored out from sensor data it can be difficult to observe a clear deterioration path. This can significantly affect the task of engineering prognostics and other health management operations. To address this problem of...journal article 2021

Associating Synoptic-Scale Weather Patterns with Aggregated Offshore Wind Power Production and RampsCheneka, B.R. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Basu, S. (author)Large-scale weather patterns and their variability can influence both the amount of wind power production and its temporal variation, i.e., wind power ramps. In this study, we use a self-organizing map to cluster hourly sea level pressure into a discrete number of weather patterns. The dependency of wind power production and wind power ramps on...journal article 2021

Cheneka, B.R. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Basu, S. (author)Large-scale weather systems have the potential to modulate offshore wind energy production. The Northern European sea areas have recently seen a rapid increase in wind power capacity and thus there is a need to understand how different weather systems affect offshore production from the perspective of energy system integration. In this study,...journal article 2020
