Rietveld, Jip (author), de Vries, Rolf (author), de Boer, Jaap (author), Hondelink, Dieuwer (author)Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has 5 runways, each of which can be used for take-off or landing of aeroplanes. The weather heavily influences which runway configuration air traffic control might pick. Airport Forecasting Service (AFOS) predicts which configuration of runways works most efficiently given a set of expected weather conditions and the...bachelor thesis 2019

Gonzalez Silva, J. (author), van der Hoek, D.C. (author), Mulders, S.P. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Wind turbines are prone to structural degradation, particularly in offshore locations. Based on the structural health condition of the tower, power de-rating strategies can be used to reduce structural loads at the cost of power losses. This paper introduces a novel closed-loop switching control architecture to constrain the thrust in individual...conference paper 2022

Huang, Y. (author), Weisberg, R.H. (author), Zheng, L. (author), Zijlema, M. (author)The effects of wind input parameterizations on wave estimations under hurricane conditions are examined using the unstructured grid, third-generation wave model, Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN). Experiments using Hurricane Ike wind forcing, which impacted the Gulf of Mexico in 2008, illustrate that the default and recommended setting for the...journal article 2013

Mathisen, T.A. (author), Annema, J.A. (author), Kroesen, M. (author)Weather is identified as one of many factors that influence the demand for cycling. Weather patterns will change due to expected climate change. The aim of this article is to study the extent to which climate change influences the cycling frequency. The analysis in this article is conducted using an econometric model based on data spanning over...journal article 2015

Liu, Y. (author), Pamososuryo, A.K. (author), Mulders, S.P. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)The estimation of the rotor effective wind speed is used in modern wind turbines to provide advanced power and load control capabilities. However, with the ever increasing rotor sizes, the wind field over the rotor surface shows a higher degree of spatial variation. A single effective wind speed estimation therefore limits the attainable...journal article 2022

Scarabaggio, P. (author), Grammatico, S. (author), Carli, Raffaele (author), Dotoli, Mariagrazia (author)In this article, we propose a distributed demand-side management (DSM) approach for smart grids taking into account uncertainty in wind power forecasting. The smart grid model comprehends traditional users as well as active users (prosumers). Through a rolling-horizon approach, prosumers participate in a DSM program, aiming at minimizing...journal article 2022

Liu, Y. (author), Pamososuryo, A.K. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)The Immersion and Invariance (II) wind speed estimator is a powerful and widely-used technique to estimate the rotor effective wind speed on horizontal axis wind turbines. Anyway, its global convergence proof is rather cumbersome, which hinders the extension of the method and proof to time-delayed and/or uncertain systems. In this letter, we...journal article 2022

Sharma, Suryansh (author), Simha, A. (author), Venkatesha Prasad, Ranga Rao (author), Gokhale, V. (author), Narayana, S. (author)In this letter, we present Hermes - a novel, low-cost, wireless, batteryless, energy harvesting system for aerial vehicles for sensing wind speed and Angle of Attack (AoA) concurrently. Hermes comprises a set of piezoelectric films which flutter due to incoming wind and the characteristics of this aeroelastic flutter are utilized for...journal article 2021

Çakmak, Recep Emre (author), Akpinar, Adem (author), van Vledder, G.P. (author)This study determines the qualities of atmospheric wind field data in comparison with wind measurements at five locations along the Black Sea coast. For this purpose, four different wind fields were obtained from three different weather centers (NCEP, NASA, and ECMWF). Three of these are reanalyzed winds (Climate Forecast System Reanalysis...journal article 2019

van Hooijdonk, I.G.S. (author), Moene, A. F. (author), Scheffer, M. (author), Clercx, H. J H (author), van de Wiel, B.J.H. (author)The evening transition is investigated in an idealized model for the nocturnal boundary layer. From earlier studies it is known that the nocturnal boundary layer may manifest itself in two distinct regimes, depending on the ambient synoptic conditions: strong-wind or overcast conditions typically lead to weakly stable, turbulent nights; clear...journal article 2017

Wang, X. (author), Baldi, S. (author), Feng, Xuewei (author), Wu, Changwei (author), Xie, Hongwei (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The vector field method was originally proposed to guide a single fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) towards a desired path. In this work, a non-uniform vector field method is proposed that changes in both magnitude and direction, for the purpose of achieving formations of UAVs. As compared to related work in the literature, the...journal article 2023

Ranka, Preeti (author)With the growing offshore wind industry, ramp events, i.e., significant variation in wind speed (or power) within a short time period, have become of critical importance to the end-users. The analysis of wind power ramp events from the perspective of grid operators or energy traders is prevalent in the literature. Nonetheless, this area of...master thesis 2021

van der Deijl, Wessel (author)In the case of unsteady loading conditions at a rotor, the induced velocity response lags the thrust coefficient at the rotor. The two parameters that are responsible for unsteady loading conditions are rotor thrust (due to blade pitch, or rotational speed) and incoming wind speed. The induced velocity response to these two sources of...master thesis 2018

Villanueva Lopez, H.M. (author)Power curves are a fundamental element of any wind resource assessment. These are required to estimate how much energy a wind turbine will convert. The theoretical power curves are validated with measurements in test sites, however they may not be fully applicable in different wind climates as they are dependent on the site where, and the...master thesis 2014

Marchena, C.J. (author)This research aims to investigate the validity of the standard power curve (i.e. measured power curve M-PC) in non-standard wind conditions and the integration of those results into recommended practices for future warranty negotiations. The Power Performance Testing (PPT) is carried out on a ABC1 with rotor diameter between 105-110m and rated...master thesis 2017

Duffy, Patrick (author)The engineering flow models used to estimate annual energy production (AEP) in offshore wind farm layout optimization typically assume inflow homogeneity over the model domain. This assumption lies in contrast with observations of horizontal wind speed gradients in coastal regions where many offshore wind farms are being constructed. Accounting...master thesis 2019

Heijne, Yannick (author)Past research has successfully increased the accuracy and quality of horizontal wind speed measurements made by cup anemometers. Errors are introduced in a variety of ways: when operational conditions deviate from calibration, due to flow distortion and as a result of the mechanical properties of an instrument changing during its lifetime....master thesis 2020

Kurniawan, V. (author)The existence of tidal flat is beneficial for human beings, but it faces the risk of being vanished by continuous intervention, either by nature or human. Therefore, researches about tidal-flat’s morphodynamics are required for the sake of its preservation. Here, the subject of the research is the Kapellebank tidal flat in the Westerschelde...master thesis 2016
