Suresh Kumar, Nivas Kumar (author)In research, the overall power production in a wind farm is typically increased by employing model-based wind farm control. A controller, in an open-loop setting, operates based on the velocity of the wind flow, predicted by a wind farm model. For a controller to achieve the desired level of power production, a wind farm model has to be accurate...master thesis 2018

Corman, Francesco (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Railway transportation provides sustainable, fast and safe transport. Its attractiveness is linked to a broad concept of service reliability: the capability to adhere to a timetable in the presence of delays perturbing traffic. To counter these phenomena, real-time rescheduling can be used, changing train orders and times, according to rules of...journal article 2018

Kerklaan, Martijn (author)The dynamic relation between the displacement and reaction torque of the human joint is known as joint impedance. Properly quantifying joint impedance has medical potential in the diagnosis, understanding and modelling of movement disorders associated with neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, dystonia and old age. The...master thesis 2018

Leising, E.J. (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author)The Circular Economy (CE) gained significant traction in business and academia. While in the building sector issues around energy efficiency are being widely explored, CE is still a relatively new topic. This article reports on three CE pilots in the Dutch building sector and develops a collaboration tool for developing and operating circular...journal article 2018

Gunes, Bilal (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)In this paper, we present a novel multiple input multiple output (MIMO) linear parameter varying (LPV) state-space refinement system identification algorithm that uses tensor networks. Its novelty mainly lies in representing the LPV sub-Markov parameters, data and state-revealing matrix condensely and in exact manner using specific tensor...journal article 2018

Teixeira, Andre M.H. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author)In this paper, the problem of detecting stealthy false-data injection attacks on the measurements is considered. We propose a multiplicative watermarking scheme, where each sensor’s output is individually fed to a SISO watermark generator whose parameters are supposed to be unknown to the adversary. Under such a scenario, the detectability...conference paper 2018

Vogtländer, J.G. (author), Scheepens, A.E. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Peck, David (author)Eco-efficient Value Creation is a method to analyse innovative product and service design together with circular business strategies. The method is based on combined analyses of the costs, market value (perceived customer value) and eco-costs. This provides a prevention-based single indicator for ‘external environmental costs’ in LCA. The...journal article 2017

Benndorf, J. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)Advanced data acquisition and process modelling technology provide ‘real-time’ data and decision support capacity for different aspects of the resource extraction process. Closed-loop approaches have recently been applied to utilize information extracted from these data in combination with advanced computing technology for improved production...journal article 2017

van der Veen, G.J. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), van der Meulen, Stan (author), Laro, Dick (author), Aangenent, Wouter (author), van Keulen, A. (author)In pursuit of better accuracy, higher speed and larger scale, manufacturers of high-performance devices increasingly rely on components which have been designed with a multidisciplinary approach from the outset. In the context of motion systems, this means that for instance structural mechanics, control engineering and thermal analysis are...journal article 2017

Gunes, Bilal (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)The major bottleneck in state-of-the-art Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) subspace methods is the curse-of-dimensionality during the first regression step. In this paper, the origin of the curse-of-dimensionality is pinpointed and subsequently a novel method is proposed which does not suffer from this bottleneck. The problem is related to the...journal article 2017

Geißdörfer, M. (author), Savaget, Paulo (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Hultink, H.J. (author)While the terms Circular Economy and sustainability are increasingly gaining traction with academia, industry, and policymakers, the similarities and differences between both concepts remain ambiguous. The relationship between the concepts is not made explicit in literature, which is blurring their conceptual contours and constrains the...journal article 2017

Lopez Angarita, G.A. (author)Surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) is one of the most commonly used methods for suppressing surface multiples. However, in order to obtain an accurate surface multiple estimation, dense source and receiver sampling is required. The traditional approach to this problem is performing data interpolation prior to multiple estimation. Though...doctoral thesis 2016

Bellstedt, C.H. (author)Massive material flows that are mostly originating from the lithosphere are entering the cities, adding to and shaping the stock of the built environment. Due to concerns with material resource scarcity and the finiteness of virgin materials, resources will have to be measured and tracked. As a result of insufficient data on (average) civil...master thesis 2015

Hewson, C.W. (author)Production optimisation of a reservoir simulation problem can be very computationally demanding as the reservoir model may contain many variables and nonlinearities, thus many iterations may be needed to obtain an optimal production schedule.
