Capable of both vertical take-off and landing and forward flight, tail-sitters are a versatile class of UAVs with a large range of potential applications. A variant of tailsitters using tilt-rotors instead of ailerons for pitch and roll control has been proposed to mitigate the reduced control authority at low to zero velocities. The control of...

With the steadily increasing road traffic demand, congestion on freeways has become a major problem. With the development of communication technology and automated vehicles, there are more opportunities for DTMs to be studied extensively at the coordination level and cooperation level. In the existing literature, the coordination of RM (ramp...

The renewable generation capacity, particularly solar and wind power installations, has increased steadily in the Netherlands over the course of recent years. Due to the local, small-scale nature of these power plants (compared to conventional power plants), a large share of this generation capacity is installed into the medium- and low-voltage...

This thesis introduces a novel model predictive controller (MPC) that integrates both torque vectoring and path following into one controller. Due to a need to improve vehicle safety, systems are being developed in order to improve vehicle handling. One system that is able to improve the vehicle handling is torque vectoring (TV). With torque...

Underactuated mechanical systems (UMS) feature prominently in robotics and aerospace, with aircraft, unmanned air vehicles, and aeroelastic wings as prime examples. These systems present multifaceted control challenges, ranging from inherent underactuation and stability concerns to state and control saturation and an overarching need for...

This thesis extensively examines the influential factors affecting the performance of approximations of Model Predictive Control (MPC) control laws using neural networks. MPC is a control strategy that solves an optimization problem at each timestep. This problem can be computationally complex and could be too slow to compute for online control....

de Vries, Rinto (author)
Recent literature in real-time trajectory planning has proposed using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) as collision constraints in Model Predictive Control (MPC) for efficient guidance, a concept referred to as MPC-CBF. This concept has been explored for both first and second-order CBFs. However, these approaches relied on an analytical...

Greenhouses allow production of crops that would otherwise be impossible. Permitting more local, fresher and nutrient richer crop production. Eorts are taken to minimize societal harm due to energy and resource consumption by greenhouse production systems. One way to control such systems is by using model predictive control. Optimal crop yield...

Integrating renewable offshore wind generation into global power grids is a critical issue in the energy industry. Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC)-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grids are the most effective and promising technical solution for the new offshore wind energy power system connections. These grids offer scalability,...

Ambitions to limit climate change are incentivizing the expansion of renewable energy. In particular, offshore wind energy is expected to grow rapidly. To harness the full potential of existing as well as prospected offshore wind farms, the limited capacity of the internal cable network of the offshore wind farm, called the collector system,...

Improving the energy efficiency of electric vehicles has various significant benefits, such as increasing the driving range. The Thermal Management System (TMS) plays a large role in optimizing the vehicle energy consumption and battery lifetime. In this thesis, a nonlinear Model Predictive control (MPC) strategy is presented to regulate the...

The primary objective of this research is to develop an energy management system for the Co-creation center (CCC) that maximizes the use of passive energy sources while maintaining indoor thermal comfort. Passive energy sources have the potential to significantly reduce the energy consumption of the building. However, to achieve optimal energy...

A key challenge for SaR robotics is to avoid dynamic obstacles in cluttered environments, with limited and noisy information. In this research, a controller for SaR robots is developed by coupling a local heuristic motion planner with a model predictive control (MPC) based trajectory tracker. Constraint tightening and tube-based control are used...

Commercially available Lane Keeping Assist systems fail to consider the driver's intentions since they mainly focus on minimising path tracking errors, resulting in conflicts between humans and automation. This often leads to users being unsatisfactory and turning off the assist, as a result diminishing the advantages such as reduced workload...

As Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) navigate through dynamic and constantly changing environments, it is crucial that they take into account the impact of their actions on the decisions of others for safe and efficient interaction with humans. In doing so, they need to anticipate how humans will behave in different situations based on their intentions....

Rapid discharge of excess water has always been the core of Dutch water management. Due to climate change, a change in strategy is required. A future-proof drainage strategy consists of three steps: 1) retention, 2) storage, and 3) controlled removal. This thesis comprises the design and evaluation of an algorithm for groundwater-based Model...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can solve a lot of problems related to traffic safety, comfort and congestion. While the sensors used by these vehicles are getting cheaper, more accurate, and software is improving, the first completely automated vehicle does not exist yet. When AVs start gradually driving on the roads, there will be a mixed traffic...

Navigation systems in an Autonomous Vehicles (AV) can be divided into two parts: a path planning block which takes in the environmental data and rules to design a collision-free obstacle and a vehicle control and tracking block which generates actuator inputs for the AV to follow the reference path generated by the path planning block. Each task...
