van den Brand, Siebe (author)It is observed that the bed level development of the Pannerden Canal (PC) and the Waal changed since the peak flows of 1993, 1995 and 1998. The erosion rate of the Pannerden Canal decreased greatly just downstream of the bifurcation while the erosion rate of the Waal stayed more or less constant. This leads to an increasing depth of the Waal...master thesis 2024

Klijn, F. (author)The policy programme Integrated River Management (IRM) aims to anticipate climate change and to redress the negative consequences of earlier river engineering interventions. Its objective is to first and foremost ensure a well-functioning river system that can provide its essential ‘public’ geo-ecosystem services: safe discharge of floods,...abstract 2024

Mier Escurra, C. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Vaessen, P.T.M. (author)This paper introduces a directional coupler for partial discharge (PD) measurements in gas-insulated substations (GIS). The sensor comprises a combination of magnetic and electric couplers, effectively segregating forward and backward pulses to enhance PD charge estimation and defect location. The sensor's design was supported with finite...journal article 2024

Mier Escurra, C. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Luo, T. (author), Vaessen, P.T.M. (author)The correct identification of partial discharges (PDs) is instrumental for the maintenance plan in gas-insulated systems (GIS). However, onsite PD measurements are difficult, especially in HVDC systems, where partial discharges can be confused with interference. This paper proposes a method to discern PDs from interferences based on the GIS...journal article 2024

van Vliet, Lars (author)The impact of climate change, particularly the rise in sea levels, obstructs the effectiveness of existing coastal structures. Additionally, climate change can also have an amplifying effect on wind speeds (Takagi & Esteban, 2013). Without proper control, the accumulation of changing environmental boundary conditions could lead to disastrous...master thesis 2023

Taylor, Elizabeth (author)Floods are the most frequent natural disaster and due to climate change the frequency and intensity of these events are increasing. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to obtain accurate estimations of extreme discharges. Statistical modelling is widely used to estimate extreme discharges by fitting observed extreme discharges to an...master thesis 2023

shah, shibanni (author)Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) are used for the inspection, maintenance and repair of submarine and offshore cables, subsea exploration, and rescue operations. ROVs are powered by umbilical cables, which have to withstand electrical, mechanical, and thermal stresses. This thesis investigates the effect of repetitive bending on the insulation...master thesis 2023

LI, CHANGLIN (author)There is a rising concern on the sustainability of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) desalination. In this study, Multi-criteria Decision-making (MCDM) is applied to compare the sustainability performance of various ZLD scenarios, which is part of a Strong Sustainability (SS) assessment of desalination. ZLD desalination systems are considered to be...master thesis 2023

(author), Ross, Robert (author)Partial discharge (PD) detection is a standardized technique to qualify the insulation condition in power equipment. The main purpose of the article is to evaluate the performance of an extra high-sensitivity adapted giant magneto-resistive (xMR) sensor for non-contacting PD detection. First, compensation and signal conditioning circuits of...journal article 2023

Mier Escurra, C. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Vaessen, P.T.M. (author)Partial discharge (PD) measurements in gasinsulated substations (GIS) are tested according to the standard IEC 60270. This “conventional” PD test method applies to electrically small devices. The equipment size increases the resonance, and attenuation, contributing to the total uncertainty.
