In de huidige samenleving is de elektriciteit een bepalend factor, het is de brandstof voor het gebruik van alle elektronische apparaten en installaties. Het verlies van elektriciteitenergie door het transport, heeft de werkgroep All Electric DC Wiki-house ertoe gezet om dit nader te onderzoeken. De …

De presentatie geeft een beknopte samenvatting van het onderzoeksproject FlexiGrow, gepresenteerd tijdens een bijeenkomst van TKI SI, aan projectleiders van andere door TKI SI gesubsidieerde projecten.

Flexigrow is a project which analyzes the performance of an all-electric neighborhood of energy efficient houses here in the Netherlands. The goal of this project is to determine whether or not the houses are performing as well as expected and how we might improve their performance using different infrastructure …

In deze studie wordt nagegaan of het energieverbruik van de stad Groningen in 2035 voor elektriciteit en warmte volledig verduurzaamd kan worden door middel van wind, zon of biomassa. Tevens wordt nagegaan wat dit zou betekenen voor de omgeving en wat het kost. De randvoorwaarde is dat de stad Groningen …

The current Dutch Walrus-class submarines count over a hundred hydraulic actuators, including the rudders, the periscope and the integrated torpedo and harpoon system. Al these devices are controlled with petroleum based, and therefore flammable, hydraulic oil. Replacing these hydraulic actuators on …

The log data generated by a motion control system contains valuable information about the system's behavior. When a problem or error arises while the system is running, the log data can be a good source of information to pinpoint and, eventually, resolve the problem in the motion control system. However, …

In this paper the design and development of a new type of greenhouse with an integrated filter for reflecting near infrared radiation (NIR) and a solar energy delivery system is described. Especially the optical parts as the spectral selective film, the properties of the circular reflector and the efficiencies …

A driving cycle defines the speed profile as requirement for a propulsion systems or vehicles. As a single driving cycle can hardly be considered representative for all situations a vehicle will experience, attempts are made to classify driving cycles, using techniques as fuzzy logic, statistics and …

A new type of greenhouse with linear Fresnel lenses in the cover performing as a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system is presented. The CPV system retains all direct solar radiation, while diffuse solar radiation passes through and enters into the greenhouse cultivation system. The removal of all direct …

A new CPV system with a static linear Fresnel lens, silicon PV module suitable for concentrated radiation and an innovative tracking system is integrated in a greenhouse covering. The basic idea of this horticultural application is to develop a greenhouse for pot plants (typical shadow plants) which …
