Voglitsis, D. (author)The utilization of IPT technology in electric vehicles (EVs) charging applications and in the microgrid restoration/islanding mode, has the potential to bring about a change in how EVs are perceived today. Firstly in consumer level, by making the charging process more convenient, safe and user-friendly, by removing the messy cords , and secondly...master thesis 2014

Vicente Melo E Carvalho Marques, Mariana (author)L1 adaptive control is a relatively new technique that attempts to tackle the robustness shortcoming of the MRAC controller by applying a low pass filter to the control input. It can be used as an augmentation loop using baseline controllers such as backstepping or PID. This controller has been implemented as an augmentation loop with both these...master thesis 2017

Fernandez Barrio, Jorge (author)A proportionate controller is investigated experimentally for unsteady load alleviation purposes on a 2D wing model with a trailing edge flap. This study is supposed to be a simplified version of a Smart Rotor, a mechanism which deals with the reduction of unsteady loads acting on a wind turbine and aims to understand the behavior of this type...master thesis 2020

Van der Sluijs, I.L. (author)This thesis concerns the design and construction of an automatic drilling fluid measurement setup and the use of such setup to control the drilling fluid pH. The construction of the experimental setup include modifications to the acquired rheometer to obtain reliable batch rheology measurements within the typical viscosity range of a shear...master thesis 2012

van der Spaa, Linda (author)Current robots consume a lot of energy. The work required for a task is generally just a tiny fraction of the total energy consumed. Most energy wastefully dissipated. Design of the 2 degree of freedom (DoF) Plugless Robot Arm shows that clever design can reduce these energy losses to a tiny remaining fraction. The Plugless Arm is designed to...master thesis 2017

Budhysutanto, W.N. (author)Philips Applied Technologies has developed the RT-Motion USB platform as a compact distributed real-time motion control platform, but the platform can still be improved by developing a more advanced software framework. The goal of this thesis project is to design a modular software framework to complement the RT-Motion USB platform with...master thesis 2009

Triepels, Joris (author)Ship to shore (STS) cranes handle millions of containers every day. One of the latest products from Stinis is the Split-Headblock. This device allows its user to work in tandem operation in which up to two 20ft or four 40ft containers can be lifted at once. In order to further increase the performance, it is important that it can be accurately...master thesis 2018

Cheung, S. (author)The project was on expanding the service of Greetinq's voicemail product. The product allowed users to set multiple welcome messages for their callers. In this project, voicemail, its use and applications for this product have been explored. The end result is a service which allows users to control their availability better through the use of...master thesis 2009

Prinsen, Jop (author)Wind farm control is an area of research that looks to maximise the performance of individual but most importantly the collective performance of wind farms. The performance of turbines located in a wind farm is heavily dependent on the effects of turbine wakes, and improving the efficiency of wind farms by mitigating the wake effects is an...master thesis 2023

Drenth, J.F.T. (author)Graduation project on the Public Realm. Topic of study is how to restructure the city of Rotterdam to increase its legibility. Furthermore the design focuses on creating an a-typical typical plan. A plan that can be repeated, thus inheriting the qualities of Typical Plan -flexibility and legibility, without giving in to the worst threat of...master thesis 2014

Tsolakis, Anastasios (author)Nonholonomic mechanical systems encompass a large class of practically interesting robotic structures, such as wheeled mobile robots, space manipulators, and multi-fingered robot hands. However, few results exist on the cooperative control of such systems in a generic, distributed approach. In this work we extend a recently developed distributed...master thesis 2021

Clarke, M.A.H. (author)The problem of testing the performance of an attitude control system presents new challenges and opportunities when conducted on a CubeSat scale. This is the result of drastic reduction in physical properties (size, mass, torques) as well as project resources (funds, manpower, time) when compared to traditional satellite programs. This thesis...master thesis 2016

La Porte, Jesse (author)This thesis investigates the potential of a semi-passive trailing-edge flap on a large conceptual wind turbine. The mechanism passively reacts to blade and tower accelerations by changing the airfoil camber, opposing the dynamic loads on the turbine. An active element is present, which influences the mean of the flap oscillation. First, a low...master thesis 2019

Koomen, T.J. (author)Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-based actuators are versatile actuators with a high power-to-weight ratio. These actuators are ideal for applications such as smart wings and smart rotors. However, SMA-based actuators are generally difficult to control, due to a low bandwidth and a hysteretic and non-linear response. The general control framework, or...master thesis 2015
