GANESH, SARAN (author)The Paris Agreement, which calls for countries to channel their efforts to limit global warming would require the deployment of large scale offshore wind energy in the North Sea. This includes the possibility of developing offshore infrastructure for deploying offshore wind power generation with installed capacity ranging from 70 to 150 GW by...master thesis 2020

Hoogendoorn, Gerben (author)Wind turbine industry is growing and future predictions are promising. However, a shortage of installation vessels could influence this growth in offshore wind industry. Commonly, wind turbines are installed in components using a jack-up vessel. Occasionally, wind turbines are installed fully assembled. The center of gravity of a fully assembled...master thesis 2020

Sickler, Maaike (author)Wind farm layouts in industry show a range of patterns with an overall trend from regular to irregular patterns over time. Wind farm layout optimisation studies in literature generally result in irregular wind turbine patterns. Review of existing literature shows that the performance of irregular and regular wind farm layouts has not been...master thesis 2020

Shukla, S. (author)The power system in Northern Europe supports a high degree of penetration of Wind Energy-based HVDC connections. Most of the modern HVDC connections will have Bipole with a dedicated metallic return (DMR) configuration. This thesis presents a basic guideline to increase the Levelized cost of operation of Bipole HVDC links by attaching the...master thesis 2020

Rajasekaran, N. (author)The power generated from wind is not synchronized to the electrical frequency of the power grid. Grid balancing services must be assured when the output from a wind farm is integrated into the electrical grid to avoid the risk of blackouts.<b> Active Power Control (APC)</b> methods are employed to provide grid balancing ancillary services such...master thesis 2020

van Binsbergen, Diederik (author)Power optimization through wake steering and axial induction control is a well investigated topic in wind energy, which is generally proven to work. The influence of control manoeuvres on the fatigue of static components is generally discussed, but drivetrain fatigue due to wake steering and axial induction control is rarely discussed, while it...master thesis 2020

Groenenberg, D. (author), Beijnen, L.F.E. (author)Increase in wind- and solar parks complicate grid stability due to their deterministic behaviour. ENTSO-E established requirements for generators for grid connection in Europe. A requirement is to have active- and reactive power control that implements a power setpoint given by the transmission system operator. This thesis describes the design...bachelor thesis 2020

Kimman, Nick (author)Fossil fuel based energy systems are the main contributor to global warming. As new regulations come into place, a transition towards a more sustainable energy system must be realised. Hydrogen usage is regarded as the key enabler of such systems. The heart of these hydrogen-based energy systems (HESs) is the hydrogen back-up system (HBS) which...master thesis 2020

Ohm, Jeroen (author)Wind farms are increasing in size to keep up with the increased demand for renewable energy. Larger wind farms, leads to more complex wind farm design problems for a designer. This study investigates the wind farm design process and compares computed and manual design approaches in order to find the best solution to the wind farm layout...master thesis 2020

Geerts, Lucas (author)Wind farms are one of the main means for sustainable energy supply in the Netherlands. In the period of 2013-2020 provincial governments were tasked with siting a certain number of megawatts of wind energy on their territory. This led to the development of wind farms in many Dutch municipalities, of which the decision-making process has in many...master thesis 2020

Luan, Yuyang (author)In studies of wind plant designs, wake dynamics are of great interests as wakes affect downstream turbine loading that impacts wind plant efficiency. Recent developments of Tensor Basis Decision Tree (TBDT) based machine learning (ML) models in reconstructing the turbulence anisotropy fields of simple flow cases prompt the motivation in applying...master thesis 2020

Ramakrishnan, Pooja (author)In the coming decade, the Dutch government plans to broadly expand its wind farm real estate over the North Sea region. This is a significant undertaking because, from literature, it is understood that wind turbines can affect the local environment. These impacts include, but are not limited to, changes in variables such as wind speed and...master thesis 2019

Tilli, Federico (author)Wind turbine placement in a wind farm can be optimized to limit power losses due to wakes and improve the economic value of the plant. Seeing as wind farms are increasing in number and size, fast methods to generate good quality layouts can be beneficial for designers. Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) consists in finding a layout that...master thesis 2019

Kruijsse, Wietse (author)In the Netherlands more wind farms are constructed and energy is contracted in long-term Power Purchase Agreemenats (PPA) to guarantee a steady revenue stream for the wind farm owners. However, until now only large corporates closed PPA contracts to obtain the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a wind farm and claim to be renewable. A new type...master thesis 2019

Johnson, Holly (author)As airborne wind energy is a relatively new field, much of the current research is rapidly progressing towards the development of larger commercial systems with larger airborne components. Farms of airborne wind energy systems can provide higher power generation than a single kite system and offer a potential solution to issues that single kite...master thesis 2019

Duffy, Patrick (author)The engineering flow models used to estimate annual energy production (AEP) in offshore wind farm layout optimization typically assume inflow homogeneity over the model domain. This assumption lies in contrast with observations of horizontal wind speed gradients in coastal regions where many offshore wind farms are being constructed. Accounting...master thesis 2019

Tagliatti, Federico (author)Wind energy is one of the most promising sources of renewable energy and has experienced a very rapid growth in the last 15 years. In order to maintain and sustain this growth wind energy needs to be competitive with the other sources of energy, especially with fossil fuels. A major factor keeping the competitiveness of wind energy is the...master thesis 2019
