Example of a Master project Energy sector

• Electricity infrastructure for wind power at sea
  (Novem/Senter)
• The Dutch government has ambitious plans for
  developing wind power at sea. An open question is
  how the thousands of megawatts of wind power will
  be connected to the national electricity grid. Is
  this the role of the national grid company TenneT
  or should private parties make the investment?
  Does government support of the development of
  off-shore electricity infrastructure stimulate
  the development of wind farms? This project
  develops a framework for analyzing
• the pros and cons of different designs of
  off-shore electricity infrastructure,
• different economic models for developing this
  infrastructure, and
• deciding who should be responsible for this
  infrastructure.

Example of a Master projectIndustry

• Decision Support Tool for operation management
  in an industrial plant (GEP)
• The process industry has to cope with a rigorous
  competition. Appropriate strategies or action in
  the area of inventory management, production
  planning and scheduling can contribute to
  survive. But how to estimate their effect
  beforehand?
• The project developed a framework - based on a
  System Dynamic simulation of an internal supply
  chain - to decide on
• How to select most promising improvement options?
• What are the evaluation parameters which could
  measure the influence of operational improvement
  options with regard to the companys productivity
  and competitiveness?
• How would the identified evaluation parameters be
  assessed quantitatively?
• How to handle the uncertainty in and around the
  production situation?
