Design for Values in Smart Electricity Grid Components: An explorative analysis into stakeholder interpretations of the values at stake within The Netherlands

Long before the existence of today’s computer, information and communication technologies, the design of current energy grids has been set. Nowadays, ‘conventional’ energy grids – including electricity, gas and thermal grids – are being transformed into smart grids, which consist of various technological components such as smart meters, energy...

Localization and Control of a Magnetic Levitation Positioning System

Magnetic levitation is a recent technology which nowadays is used in high-tech systems. It is developed due to the inherent benefits of these type of setups such as lack of wear, friction and problems due to mechanical phenomenon as play and backlash. Achieving higher accelerations and ultra-precise position control while reducing maintenance. ...
