van Ouwerkerk, Gijs (author)With the growing global drive to act up on climate change, the adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) is continuously increasing. This crucial shift poses many economic and environmental benefits, however the variability in solar PV generation may also threaten the stability of our power grid and energy supply. The...master thesis 2021

Diepenmaat, Frank (author)Offshore contractors use special cable laying vessels (CLV’s) in order to install subsea power cables, which transport offshore generated energy. Workability studies are performed to evaluate whether operations can be performed or not. These workability studies are subsequently a combination between operability assessments (performed in OrcaFlex...master thesis 2021

Holland, Bram (author)Coastal areas around the world have always been densely populated areas. However, sea-level-rise and an increase in single extreme events due to climate change, threaten the coastal areas and their inhabitants. Governmental organizations, coastal managers and various private parties thrive for better insights into long-term shoreline behavior...master thesis 2021

Broekman, Marleen (author)For the shared mobility service providers, it is essential to have an economic operation and therefore, it is necessary to maximise their fleet utilisation. Of influence on the latter is the availability of the spare parts. The topics for which spare part forecasting research is already performed are different in several ways compared to the...master thesis 2021

Wink, Ruben (author)Due to strong demand for air travel before the COVID-19 pandemic, major airports were constrained in capacity and this issue was expected to worsen in the coming decades. Novel aircraft (concepts) could help to alleviate these capacity constraints. However, the market competitiveness and impact of novel aircraft is often challenging to assess,...master thesis 2020

Hauth, Matthias (author)The determination of geotechnical parameters from in-situ tests heavily relies on the use of empirical correlations relating field measurements to soil properties. A large number of these correlations can be found across the literature, each of them yielding a different outcome for the parameter value. This results in a high variability of the...master thesis 2020

Lacoa Arends, Eric (author)The increasing penetration of weather-dependent energy sources brings additional challenges to the operation of the power system. Wind power forecasting is a valuable resource for these power operators: a tool that aids the decision-making process and facilitates risk management. On the other hand, the progress of machine learning and their...master thesis 2020

Nahimana, Aliane (author)In this thesis, the quality and usefulness of crowdsourced precipitation measurements from 01/01/2019 to 31/01/2020 of 63 stations held by farmers in Burundi are investigated. Common sources of errors in the measurements are identified following field visits and discussions with farmers. Two filters for identifying and removing faulty zeros and...master thesis 2020

Zweekhorst, Jules (author)The growing fleet of offshore wind farms in the North Sea imposes a lot of stress on the energy grid due to its volatile power production. Accurate forecasting models that can predict the power generation of these wind parks could help grid operators to keep the energy grid stable and reduce the re-dispatch of energy. Therefore the objective of...master thesis 2020
