Time Synchronization for Anchorless Satellite Networks

In this thesis, we propose a new class of pairwise frequency, multi-domain time synchronization and ranging algorithms for anchorless mobile networks of asynchronous nodes. We apply these techniques and study network and mission level aspects of time synchronization to Orbiting Low Frequency Array for Radio astronomy (OLFAR), a proposed...

3D motion compensation for an offshore crane: Assessing the feasibility for wind turbine maintenance

When working offshore on a floating vessel, the vessel will be subjected to wave induced motions and with a moving crane tip, a suspended load can start to swing. When the motions of the load become too large, the operation is interrupted. Alternatives such as jack-ups, function as a fixed platform to which the crane is attached, therefore...

Operability Analysis of Wind Farm Maintenance with the Damen FCS2610

The Damen Twin Axe Fast Crew Supplier (FCS)2610 is an offshore wind farm maintenance vessel that can safely and efficiently transfer mechanics between land and a wind farm. The thesis objective is to research the operational capability of the FCS by gaining insight into the push docking procedure of the transfer process. To keep the vessels bow...
