Wigman, Stefan (author)This study approached migration-related problems from a global perspective. The inter- connected nature of migration means that migration problems accumulate and intensify throughout the world. To capture these effects, a data-rich model component was devel- oped for global migration dynamics.<br/>To that extent, this study has developed the...master thesis 2018

Januar, Rizky (author)The need for water, energy, and food resources is central to human being. Demand of these resources will increase as global population increases. By 2050 it is expected that combination of population growth and economic development will lead to 50% increase of global water and food demand, while energy demand will be doubled. Addressing...master thesis 2018

Groenewoud, Stella (author)The common description of the configuration of stuff in a room, one of order (tidy) and chaos (messy), fails to explain the phenomenon that artifacts create structures around people and activities in a space, with both functional and cognitive properties. This form of organization, that is recognizable on various scale levels, emerges...master thesis 2018

Wu, L. (author)Dynamic analysis of large-size finite element models has been commonly applied by mechanical engineers to simulate the dynamic behavior of complex structures. The ever-increasing demand for both detailed and accurate simulation of complex structures forces mechanical engineers to pursue a balance between two conflicting goals during the...doctoral thesis 2018

Legêne, Martijn (author)Vehicle automation has the potential to disrupt the status quo of urban transportation, because it adds a new mode of transportation by taking away the task of the driver. The projections of estimations of the impacts of this new technology are based on many uncertainties and are thus largely unknown. A literature review showed that a wide...master thesis 2018

Drop, F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bulthoff, Heinrich H. (author)The human controller (HC) in manual control of a dynamical system often follows a visible and predictable reference path (target). The HC can adopt a control strategy combining closed-loop feedback and an open-loop feedforward response. The effects of the target signal waveform shape and the system dynamics on the human feedforward dynamics...journal article 2018

Puylaert, Steven (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Nes, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Modern cars are increasingly being equipped with automated driving functions. For governments it is important to gain insight in the mobility impacts of automated vehicles. This is important as the introduction of automated vehicles affects current investment decisions about infrastructure projects and other policy measures like road pricing....journal article 2018

Slinger, J (author), d’Hont, Floortje (author)This paper describes lessons learned while teaching Advanced System Dynamics, at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology. The course is an elective for Master students of the faculty who are already familiar with system dynamics modelling. We report on the course in the academic year 2014-2015, the...conference paper 2018

Nieuwenhuijsen, J.A.H. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Milakis, D. (author), van Arem, B. (author), van Daalen, C. (author)This paper presents a novel simulation model that shows the dynamic and complex nature of the innovation system of vehicle automation in a quantitative way. The model simulates the innovation diffusion of automated vehicles (AVs) on the long-term. It looks at the system of AVs from a functional perspective and therefore categorizes this...journal article 2018

Mola Jimenez, Jorge (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Perilla Guerra, A.D. (author), Wang, D. (author), Palensky, P. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author)The deployment of variable renewable energy based power plants is increasing all over the world, however, unlike conventional power plants these are mostly connected to the grid via power electronic interfaces. High penetration of power electronic interfaced generation (PEIG) has an important impact on the inertia of the system, which is of...conference paper 2018

Steinmann, Patrick (author), Wigman, S.B.J. (author)Between 2013 and 2015, over one million migrants entered Europe. Many European countries were unprepared for and overwhelmed by the rapidly unfolding, chaotic situation. To better handle future migration waves, and allow quicker exploration of government policy effects and interactions, a geospatial-based system dynamics model of migration flows...conference paper 2018

Havelaar, Mark (author), Jaspers, Wouter Jaspers (author)Cities are rapidly transforming, and infrastructures are not always resistant to these future developments. On a global scale cities are growing into mega cities, whilst counter urbanization causes significant population declines. To adapt infrastructures against these future developments, infrastructure asset management can be applied. <br/><br...master thesis 2017

Ye, Liang-Cheng (author), Dias Rodrigues, J.F. (author), Lin, H.X. (author)In 2011 China initiated policies to promote the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) using feed-in tariff (FIT) policies. Since then the PV domestic market expanded substantially. In the past six years, the FIT policies were updated (adjustment of tariff levels, division of three FIT regions, setting of installation quotas) to address emerging...journal article 2017

van Altenborg, Camiel (author)Due to the shift in electrical energy generation from thermal synchronous generators towards various renewable sources, power system stability will become a more pressing issue in the near future. In this thesis, we explore possible improvements to the dynamic grid model currently used by TenneT TSO for large-disturbance stability studies,...master thesis 2017

van den Houten, Jorrit (author)Large-scale infrastructure projects such as ports can have a significant impact on the development of nearby cities. While economic benefits of the port spill over to other regions, often internationally operating firms, port-cities experience negative externalities like environmental and land use issues and traffic congestion. Traditional port...master thesis 2017

Grammatico, S. (author)In this paper, we consider dynamics and protocols for agents seeking an equilibrium in a network game with proximal quadratic cost coupling. We adopt an operator theoretic perspective to show global convergence to a network equilibrium, under the assumption of convex cost functions with proximal quadratic couplings, time-invariant and time...journal article 2017

Correa-Posada, Carlos M. (author), Morales-Espana, G. (author), Dueñas, Pablo (author), Sánchez-Martín, Pedro (author)The growing increase of renewable generation worldwide is posing new challenges for a secure, reliable and economic operation of power systems. In order to face the uncertain and intermittent production of renewable sources, operating reserves must be allocated efficiently and accurately. Nowadays, these reserves are mainly assigned to thermal...journal article 2017
