Luttikhuizen, Bernard (author)The Dutch drinking water utilities are legally responsible for supplying drinking water to their assigned customer base. Continuing to supply drinking water for the long term is coming under pressure from challenges on the supply side, related to water quality and quantity on the one hand and developments due to increasing demand for drinking...master thesis 2024

Boereboom, Bram (author)The Dutch government described its vision to achieve significant reductions in greenhouse emissions in the climate goals of 2030 and 2050. The energy infrastructure in the Netherlands will be a critical factor in achieving these goals. As an extension to the stated importance, understanding the current energy infrastructure is equally...master thesis 2022

KAO, I-TING (author)The urgent development of green energy has become a worldwide trend in the war against the threat of global warming and the impact of extreme weather. The offshore wind farm is one of the solutions that are able to harvest energy sustainably from the environment. To erect these offshore windfarms, the debate about whether a new fleet should be...master thesis 2021

Schepers, Job (author)Due to an increase demand for renewable and sustainable forms of energy, the offshore wind industry is growing rapidly. To make wind energy more cost-effective, new wind turbines are becoming larger in size and are placed further offshore. This results in deeper waters, making the installation more difficult. The current methodology uses a jack...master thesis 2021

Henrich, Birgit A. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Diran, Devin (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)In 2018, the Dutch national government announced its decision to end natural gas extraction. This decision posed a challenge for local governments (municipalities); they have to organise a heat supply that is natural gas-free. Energy models can decrease the complexity of this challenge, but some challenges hinder their effective use in decision...journal article 2021

Mitici, M.A. (author), de Pater, I.I. (author)Remaining-useful-life prognostics for aircraft components are central for efficient and robust aircraft maintenance. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end approach to obtain online, model-based remaining-useful-life prognostics by learning from clusters of components with similar degradation trends. Time-series degradation measurements are...journal article 2021

Wolffenbuttel, Dirk (author)EPA: Multi-Modelling for Complex Challenges With the acknowledgement of international grand challenges, the demand for better and ever more complex models is likely to increase a manifold. Where single models may no longer be able to grasp the complexities of a system, multi-modelling (Nikolic, Warnier, et al., 2019;...master thesis 2020

Drent, Alexander (author)Our contemporary society consists of increasingly complex systems-of-systems in which technical and social subsystems influence each other. Multi-models reflect this complexity and are useful to analyse these complex socio-technical systems. They consist of connected simulation models which may each have their focus on a subsystem or modelling...master thesis 2020

Skaltsis, Georgios (author)Data-driven control approaches have been proved highly effective in applications where the dynamics of the system are unknown. The reason is that the use of data in control overcomes the challenge of parametric modeling which requires effort and often leads to an insufficient description of the system’s behavior. By contrast, the behavior of the...master thesis 2020

Groot, Roy (author)In early design stages of aircraft, component sizing is to a large extent based on semi empirical methods, which are generally lacking for unconventional aircraft configurations. This increases the uncertainty of the performances of the generated design, such as its stability and controllability. This work aims at using a more physics-based...master thesis 2019

Jockin, Pieter (author)The transition to a circular economy requires drastic changes to the economy. A tool for macro-economic analysis of structural changes in the economy, input-output analysis, lacks dynamic features. This thesis set out to integrate dynamic features representing demand change and technological change. A conceptual model is designed that integrates...master thesis 2018

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Pelka, S. (author)In order to design interventions in energy systems, it is key to combine existing models and simulations. As the interplay of different steps along the energy value chain, various actors and regional scopes makes it difficult for one model or model owner to cover the entire complexity of the system, the usage of present resources instead of...conference paper 2017

Ghosh, D. (author)Multi model adaptive control is an emerging field that has proven to be successful in mitigating limitations of classical adaptive control by providing more quicker and faster adaptation. In this method instead of one single parameter varying controller, multiple fixed parameter controllers pertaining to different operation regimes are utilized....master thesis 2015

Kayastha, N. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Single hydrological model or model calibrated on single objective function often cannot capture all components of a water motion process. One possibility is building several specialized models each of which responsible for a particular sub-process (e.g., high flows or low flows), and combining them using dynamic weights – thus forming a...conference paper 2014

Siek, M.B.L.A. (author)Accurate predictions of storm surge are of importance in many coastal areas. This book focuses on data-driven modelling using methods of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory for predicting storm surges. A number of new enhancements are presented: phase space dimensionality reduction, incomplete time series, phase error correction, finding true...doctoral thesis 2011

La Rocca, G. (author)Since the 1960s, the demand for air transportation has doubled every 15 years, resilient to every oil crises and international events. However, the current capability of the air transport management system, the demand of increasingly growing levels of quality, comfort, safety and security, and, above all, an environmental sensitivity as high as...doctoral thesis 2011

Koning, J.H. (author)The aviation industry faces a number of challenges: it needs to produce safer, quieter and more efficient aircraft to meet the demands of the airlines and increasingly strict regulations. At the same time, engineers are becoming more scarce because the retirement age of the `baby-boom generation' is approaching. The department of Systems...master thesis 2010

(author)Model predictions of biogeochemical fluxes on the landscape scale are highly uncertain, both with respect to stochastic (parameter) and structural uncertainty. The idea of our ensemble modelling approach is to reduce the predictive uncertainty by covering part of the parameter and model structural uncertainty. In this study 4 different models...conference paper 2009
