In this master thesis, we present an overview of the U-Space and Regulations in Europe, while also taking into consideration the progression of the integration of both parts in Norwegian airspace over the Norwegian continental shelf. This thesis is mainly separated into three parts. The first part is taking a look into the European Union's roadmap/plan for establishing an Unmanned Aircraft System ...

Digital Twin is a tool used for monitoring systems and controlling systems at a distance; the twining of systems has been around ever since NASA’s Apollo mission; creating a digital twin lets people monitor the system in real-time. A digital twin also allows for modeling, configuration, testing, optimization, and research under dynamic circumstances; it also provides for hazardous free training on ...

Underwater wireless power transfer (UWPT) has become an area of great interest due to the advancement of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and electic boats. This paper seeks to investigate the variation of the coupling coefficient and power transfer in air versus in seawater. The design is based on a class E converter as it can achieve soft-switching inherently. I made the transmitter and ...

In maritime sector draft survey has a significant importance as it is used to determine many important factors used in maritime transportation. Draft is the vertical displacement from the bottom of the keel (the bottom-most element of a vessel) to the water line (the line of meeting point of hull and the water surface). It is used to measure the minimum water depth for safe navigation of vessel and ...

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 main research aspect behind this project was the problem in docking the ship to the port with limited space and resources available, causing number of onsite accidents and loss of resources. The main objective is to increase safety on ports, reduce pollution and increase fuel efficiency, also reduce the docking time for the vessels, which can be achieved by developing an autonomous docking system ...

In this thesis, we examine the viability of training a convolutional neural network using synthetic data. The cnn is used for image recognition in an rms. We create a program that can render 3D models from STL files as images with varied backgrounds. The process of creating and training an image recognition model is also automated. Lastly, the model is used for image recognition. The report ...

With the ever-emerging market including mass customization and product variety, reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) have been presented as the solution. A manufacturing system that combines the benefits of the two classic manufacturing systems to increase responsiveness and reduce production time and costs. To cope with the lack of physical systems, an RMS system have been built at UiT Narvik. ...

The inevitable growing demand for electrical power, depleting sources of conventional power generation, and world wide concern about global warming are major factors to boost the trend of renewable integration in grids. This rising trend is causing many technical and operational challenges where one of the most prominent problem is the overvoltage caused by distributed generation units, interfaced ...

Adolescents tend to identify with literary characters to a considerable degree, and it is therefore vital to advocate the distinction between healthy and unhealthy characters in the secondary classroom. This thesis aims to investigate the intertwining topics of mental health and gender roles in Kate Chopin’s canonical novel The Awakening (1899) and John Green’s young adult fiction novel Looking for ...
