The master thesis work involved the design implementation of a duct fanned shielding for Quadrotors. This included the investigation of various settings for duct shielding and to identify the best possible option to safe guard propellers of the quadrotor. In addition, the work focused on improving the aerodynamic efficiency, reducing the mass of flight and the use of quadrotors in the arctic ...

This project is my master diploma project of the department of Computer Science at Norks Arktisk Universitet (UiT) in 2016. Every day, the satellites send to the ground stations huge amount of data for processing. Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) is a very interesting technology in the space science and it also sends a large amount of data in plasma line data back to the earth. Currently, the space ...

This thesis presents energy storage technologies, as well as their most applicable ways of integration into the power system. The storage technologies provided are relevant in regards to ancillary services, peak shaving, energy arbitrage and not least integration in combination with intermittent renewable production. A grid analysis was performed to determine the obvious differences between different ...

"There is a need for a stretcher, which can also function as a sledge, especially for rescue missions in arctic climate, as the extraction point may only be accessible by people by foot or on skies. Existing solutions have some flaws, and some are not specifically designed for arctic conditions. The task is to develop a multi-purpose stretcher, operable by two members of the rescue team. In ...

This thesis discusses the process of implementing and testing of a creative web element design system using a combination of genetic algorithms and K-nearest neighbor classification. Classification will be used as a learning mechanism to give the system the ability to absorb quality measures in regards to visual aesthetics, and utilize this knowledge to evaluate generated designs. In addition, some ...

Inverter-based resources (IBRs), such as solar and wind power are gaining popularity because of their increasing acceptance, environmental benefits and decreasing costs. However, their integration into power systems can lead to significant impacts on system inertia and frequency stability, which are crucial for maintaining the reliability of the power grid. In traditional power systems, the synchronous ...

This thesis presents a solution to integrate sensors and instruments on a robot to be used instead of operators on unmanned oil and gas offshore platforms. Operators have various tasks from inspection to maintenance in the platforms. Because of high costs of having operators in offshore platforms, there has been always an ambitious to design a fully unmanned automated platform to decrease the costs ...

This thesis investigates the use of remote sensing techniques to study the conditions of ballast water in the northwestern port of Emden, Germany. Sentinel-2 data of the seaport has been collected and used in order to retrieve the suspended particulate matter (SPM), evaluating its distribution and checking for any time or spatial periodicity over the past 5 years. The aim of the study is to provide ...

In this thesis a version of the Kundur two-area model has been developed for Simulink and real time simulator software and hardware from OPAL-RT. This model should be used for testing the rotor angle oscillations load variations create. A review of the different control elements found in basic power systems has been reviewed and implemented. The main component that will be manipulated in the model ...

"The report presents modified Stokes equations and natural convection-diffusion equations that are needed to implement a system which uses natural convection to transport energy from one area to another. The thesis also includes results from a numerical simulations that used these equations as arguments."
