This paper assesses wind resource characteristics and energy yield for micro wind turbines integrated on noise barriers. An experimental set-up with sonic anemometers placed on top of the barrier in reference positions is realized. The effect on wind speed magnitude, inflow angle and turbulence intensity …

The estimation of the pose of a differential drive mobile robot from noisy odometer, compass and beacon distance measurements is studied. The estimation problem, which is a state estimation problem with unknown input, is reformulated into a state estimation problem with known input and a process noise …

This paper describes the concept of a new algorithm to control an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for accurate autonomous indoor flight. Inside a greenhouse, Global Positioning System (GPS) signals are not reliable and not accurate enough. As an alternative, Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is used for localization. …

This thesis is about my assignment to simplify a complex software product called RadiMation®. RadiMation® is an application, written in C++, and is used to automate a range of EMC testing. This document also has the purpose of providing information about how the interfaces and device drivers within …

QUOTES “Een ijsbeer drijvend op een ijsschots in een grote zee, bosbranden, de zoveelste reclame die aan geeft dat wij de laatste generatie zijn die iets kunnen doen aan klimaatverandering. Angstbeelden die ieder inmiddels al zo vaak heeft gezien, dat we er een beetje moe van zijn geworden, zeker wanneer …

Backgroundand aim – In this study, it is pre-supposed that the indoor environmental conditions of classrooms can contribute to the quality of the educational process. Thermal, acoustic and visual conditions and indoor air quality (IAQ) may be extremely supportive in order to support the in-class tasks …

The demand for the transport of goods within the city is rising and with that the number of vans driving around. This has adverse effects on air quality, noise, safety and liveability in the city. LEFVs (Light Electric Freight Vehicles) offer a potential solution for this. There is already a lot of enthusiasm …

The aim of this report is to document the configuration, design and testing of an innovative hybrid electric weed brush to be carried by a Antonio Carraro SP5008 Hydrostaticly articulated multi-purpose maintenance tractor. This project is issued by Hissink Custom Made Machinery, as an graduate assingment …

This thesis research aimed to answer the question whether Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) data of humpback whales can improve management of the Yarari Marine Mammal Sanctuary in the Dutch Caribbean. This study looks at data recorded on the Saba Bank from December 2016 until April 2017. The PAM data …

The Northern region of the Netherlands has beautiful landscapes, a nice diversity of green and blue areas, and dispersed settlements. However, some recent population changes can become threats to health and wellbeing in these areas. The rural areas in the three northern provinces - Groningen, Friesland …
