This report describes how a PV module laminator for high-end flexible PV modules can be made from an existing machine base. In this report, the lamination cycle is explained and lamination tests are performed from which the requirements are set up. This project started with an existing machine base upon …

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …

Het klimaat op aarde verandert voortdurend. Door de wetenschap is vastgesteld dat de klimaatveranderingen sinds het pre-industriële (rond 1850) tijdperk met overgrote deel door de mens is veroorzaakt. Om de klimaatveranderingen van de aarde te verminderen is onder andere het zogenaamde klimaatakkoord …

Het verbruik van brandstof op schepen is een grote kostenpost en een belasting voor het milieu. P&O North Sea Ferries heeft door verschillende maatregelen het brandstofverbruik al kunnen verminderen wat betekent dat zowel de brandstofkosten als de belasting van het milieu al aanzienlijk zijn verlaagd. …

A detailed solar prediction is necessary in case of particular cloudiness-patterns causing undesirable large fluctuations in photovoltaic electricity production. By considering the project objectives and expected outcomes, as well as the fact that the motion of the clouds is the key element that influences …

Rooftop Energy (RTE) is a company that operates in the field of solar photovoltaic (PV), commonly known as solar panels. Until now RTE had completed dozens of projects in the Dutch market. The reason for this research is that the SDE segment is relatively still unknown terrain to RTE and therefore needs …

Het doel van de opdracht is een omgeving te realiseren waarbij CGI collega’s en externen direct aan de slag kunnen met het ontwikkelen van algoritmes om de motoren zo efficiënt mogelijk te bewegen. Daarbij wordt een score en testsysteem meegeleverd die de algoritmes test en beoordeelt. Dit systeem zal …

Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles originating from the Sun. The interaction causes the geomagnetic field to undergo variations, called geomagnetic disturbances or geomagnetic activity. This bachelor thesis features …

Kipp & Zonen, based in Delft manufactures and develops atmospheric measurement instruments, including a scintillometer. Kipp & Zonen currently manufactures the large aperture scintillometer (LAS) MkII and previously manufactured the extra large aperture scintillometer (XLAS) MkI. A scintillometer can …

This report examines the possibilities of using a solar chimney in a highland tropical climate to promote thermal comfort, air‐quality and energy consumption. The study is carried out using modeling and simulation techniques and is conducted at the Federal University of Viçosa in Brazil. A model is …
