My Study Planning

MyStudyPlanning (MSP) is a digital tool used at the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences for track registration and for the compiling and approval of an exam programme for MSc students of our faculty. The usage and functions of MSP can differ per programme and/or cohort. Below you will find the information on usage of MSP for each MSc programme and cohort and the corresponding links to MSP and other relevant information regarding the compiling and submitting of your Individual Study Plan. MSP for MSc Civil Engineering students MSc Civil Engineering students of cohort 2024/2025 All MSc Civil Engineering (CIE) students of cohort 24/25 need to register for a track in MSP. Students need to submit three tracks in order of preference, accompanied with a motivation letter for your primary track selection. This needs to be done before Friday the 11th of October . Below you can find the instructions for writing your motivation letter. Students who start their MSc CIE after the 11th of October need to submit their track selection at the moment they start their MSc programme. All students will be informed about the track they are matched with after two weeks. Once registered for a track you can follow the corresponding modules. After you have chosen your track you can also compile and submit your Individual Study Plan (exam programme) for approval from your track coordinator, via MSP, by using the same link for cohort 24/25 below. You will be notified when this part of MSP opens. After having logged in, you can submit your exam programme via the tab ‘course selection’, if not forwarded automatically. Please make sure to submit your Individual Study Plan for approval before the 1st of June . Master Civil Engineering 2024/2025 Instructions for the motivation letter: Max 500 words (1A4) Upload in PDF Only write a motivation for your first preference Describe why you are well suited for this track and why is this track well suited for you. For your description use the following criteria: Your personal motivation for this track: e.g., what track/discipline elements align with your specific interests? Your relevant strong points: e.g., bachelor examples, MUDE examples if available, your specific skills/competences, extra activities and rewards, etc. Your professional ambitions and contribution to (specifics topics in) this field after graduation.

A key solution to grid congestion

On behalf of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, researchers Kenneth Brunninx and Simon Tindemans are handing over a Position Paper to the Dutch Parliament on 14 November 2024, with a possible solution to the major grid capacity problems that are increasingly cropping up in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is unlikely to meet the 2030 climate targets, and one of the reasons for this is that large industry cannot switch to electricity fast enough, partly because of increasingly frequent problems around grid capacity and grid congestion. In all likelihood, those problems will actually increase this decade before they can decrease, the researchers argue. The solution offered by the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute researchers is the ‘flexible backstop’. With a flexible backstop, the current capacity of the power grid can be used more efficiently without sacrificing safety or reliability. A flexible backstop is a safety mechanism that automatically and quickly reduces the amount of electricity that an electric unit can draw from the grid (an electric charging station or a heat pump) or deliver (a PV installation). It is a small device connected or built into an electrical unit, such as a charging station or heat pump, that ‘communicates’ with the distribution network operator. In case of extreme stress on the network, the network operator sends a signal to the device to limit the amount of power. Germany recently introduced a similar system with electric charging stations. The backstop would be activated only in periods of acute congestion problems and could help prevent the last resort measure, which is cutting off electricity to users. ‘Upgrading the electricity network remains essential, but in practice it will take years. So there is a need for short-term solutions that can be integrated into long-term planning. We, the members of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, call on the government, network operators and regulator to explore the flexible backstop as an additional grid security measure,’ they said. The entire Paper can be read here . Kenneth Brunninx Associate Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Governance and Management, where he uses quantitative models to evaluate energy policy and market design with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Simon Tindemans is Associate Professor in the Intelligent Electrical Power Grids group at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. His research interests include uncertainty and risk management for power grids. TU Delft PowerWeb Institute is a community of researchers who are investigating how to make renewable energy systems reliable, future proof and accessible to everyone.

25 year celebration of formal collaboration between Delft University of Technology and the University of Campinas

On 25 October 2024 we celebrated 25 years of formal collaboration between Delft University of Technology and the University of Campinas. What began as a project to exchange some students in chemical engineering has now grown to a multifaceted and broad academic collaboration which accumulated into 24 joint research projects (>20 M Euro); 16 advanced courses and 15 Doctors with a Dual Degree PhD. Patricia Osseweijer, TU Delft Ambassador Brazil explained, “We are proud to show and reflect on this special day the added value we created resulting from our joint activities. The lessons we learned demonstrate that especially continuity of funds and availability for exchanges has contributed to joint motivation and building trust which created strong relations. This is the foundation for academic creativity and high-level achievements.” The program presented showcases of Dual Degree projects; research activities and education. It discussed the future objectives and new fields of attention and agree on the next steps to maintain and strengthen the foundation of strong relations. Telma Franco, Professor UNICAMP shared that “joint education and research has substantially benefitted the students, we see that back in the jobs they landed in,” while UNICAMP’s Professor Gustavo Paim Valenca confirmed that “we are keen to extend our collaboration to more engineering disciplines to contribute jointly to global challenges” Luuk van der Wielen highlighted that “UNICAMP and TU Delft provide valuable complementary expertise as well as infrastructures to accelerate research and innovation. Especially our joint efforts in public private partnerships brings great assets” To ensure our future activities both University Boards have launched a unique joint program for international academic leadership. This unique 7-month program will accommodate 12 young professors, 6 from each university. The programme began on 4 November 2024 in Delft, The Netherlands.
