Wind turbines are usually clustered in wind farms which causes the downstream turbines to operate in the turbulent wakes of upstream turbines. As turbulence is directly related to increased fatigue loads, knowledge of the turbulence in the wake and its evolution are important. Therefore, the main objective …

Grote infrastructurele projecten vergen jaren en jaren. Konden we maar toveren, meent Martien Visser. We verzinnen iets, zeggen simsalabim, en het is er. Helaas. Toch doen we net alsof.

The Johan Cruijff ArenA (JC ArenA) is a big events location in Amsterdam, where national and international football matches, concerts and music festivals take place for up to 68,000 visitors. The JC ArenA is already one of the most sustainable, multi-functional stadia in the world and is realizing even …

Citizen participation in local renewable energy projects is often promoted as many suppose it to be a panacea for the difficulties that are involved in the energy transition process. Quite evidently, it is not; there is a wide variety of visions, ideologies and interests related to an ‘energy transition’. …

De begin vorig jaar overleden wiskundige Arjen Sevenster hield tijdens zijn ziekteproces vrienden en bekenden op de hoogte middels wat hij noemde zijn kroniek: per e-mail verstuurde updates van zijn ziekte, vergezeld gaand met zijn overpeinzingen en gedichten over leven, werk en de naderende dood. Deze …

tract Micro wind turbines can be structurally integrated on top of the solid base of noise barriers near highways. A number of performance factors were assessed with holistic experiments in wind tunnel and in the field. The wind turbines underperformed when exposed in yawed flow conditions. The theoretical …

The Vulkan real estate site in Oslo is owned by Aspelin Ramm, and includes one of the largest parking garages used for EV charging in Europe. EV charging (both AC and DC) is managed for now predominately for costs reasons but also with relevance at further EV penetration level in this car parking location …

n the work package described in this report, members are investigating whether a cooperative of farmers can become self-sufficient in energy and fertilization by using manure and organic waste flows in combination with anaerobic fermentation. The aim is to link the nutrient cycle (from manure to digestate …

De Japanse oesterboorder (Ocinebrellus inornatus) is een aquatische roofslak die zich voedt met de Japanse oester (Magallana gigas) als de Zeeuwse platte oester (Ostrea edulis). De oesterboorder boort door middel van zijn tong een gaatje in de schelp van de Japanse- en Zeeuwse platte oester en zuigt …

In the following thesis, research is conducted on the effect of sea-level rise and expected hydraulic load levels for the Scheldt Estuary, currently and in the future. As climate changes advances and the sea-level rises, insight into the effects of the rise on our coastal area's is essential. Rijkswaterstaat …
