Abstract:

Increasing the efficiency and performance of internal combustion engines is always of interest in the automotive industry. One limiting factor to achieve this in gasoline combustion engines is the ignition timing which can not always be set where optimal ignition efficiency and performance is obtained. This is due to the knock phenomenon which is an abnormal combustion process that can damage the engine. Due to knock, a feedback controller which sets the ignition timing at the best possible value without the risk of harming the engine is required. In this thesis, a statistically driven knock i

Abstract:

<p> The design of control mixing algorithms for launch vehicles with multiple vectoring engines yields competing objectives for which no straightforward solution approach exists. The designer seeks to optimally allocate the effector degrees of freedom such that maneuvering capability is maximized subject to constraints on available control authority. In the present application, such algorithms are generally restricted to linear transformations so as to minimize adverse control-structure interaction and maintain compatibility with industry-standard methods for control gain design and stability

Abstract:

This thesis evaluates the economics of alternative cooling tower capacity control methods. Annual fan electrical energy requirements are calculated for towers with single-speed, two-speed, and variable-speed fans. Fan energy requirements are determined for counter-flow and cross-flow towers designed for low initial cost and for energy efficiency. Effectiveness-NTU equations are solved to predict cooling tower performance at various fan speeds. Natural convection, which determines the cooling capacity when the fan is off, is accounted for using a mean enthalpy difference. Ambient conditions are

Fully automated vehicles are expected to have a significant share of the road network traffic in the near future. Several commercial vehicles with full-range adaptive cruise control systems or semi-autonomous functionalities are already available in the market. This provides a unique opportunity to improve the acceleration behaviour of vehicles, and thereby, improve network’s efficiency in terms of important performance indicators such as fuel consumption and traffic throughput. However, automated driving systems usually adopt a highly conservative driving strategy to ensure safety and fuel ef

Abstract:

Ice sheets, such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or Antarctic Ice Sheet, have a fundamental impact on landscape formation, the global climate system, and on sea level rise. The slow, creeping flow of ice can be represented by a non-linear version of the Stokes equations, which treat ice as a non-Newtonian, viscous fluid. Large spatial domains combined with long time spans and complexities such as a non-linear rheology, make ice sheet simulations computationally challenging. The topic of this thesis is the efficiency and error control of large simulations, both in the sense of mathematical modelling

Abstract:

Variable structure control is a kind of nonlinear control with discontinuous input. The control input switches from one value to another according to the system states. Its usefulness of robotic control is the existence of the switching surface, since once the system states are sliding on the switching surface, the control is insensitive to the parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. The application of variable structure control for robot manipulators has experienced several stages. Most efforts have been to make this control method practically more applicable to robotics control prob

Energy efficiency optimization of electric machines is an important research field and is part of the objectives of several international projects such as the European Commission Climate and Energy package which has set itself a 20% energy savings target by 2020, and was extended for 2030 with higher targets. Therefore, this thesis proposes an efficiency optimization method of the Induction Machine (IM) through the variation of the control parameters.

Energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries. Battery capacity is finite and the progress of battery technology is very slow, with capacity expected to make little improvement in the near future. Under these conditions, many techniques for conserving power have been proposed to increase battery life. In this dissertation we consider two approaches to conserving the energy consumed by a wireless network interface. One technique is to use power saving mode, which allows a node to power off its wireless network interface

Abstract:

Prior to the transmission of payload data in any multiple access system, there is generally a need to send control information such as scheduling assignments, transmission parameters and HARQ acknowledgments. This process is called control signaling and has a significant impact on the overall system performance. This dissertation considers different aspects of control signaling and proposes some novel schemes for improving it. The dissertation is split into two parts where in the first part the focus is on the transmission of scheduling assignments, and in the second part the focus is on impro

Abstract:

Microinverter has become a new trend for photovoltaic (PV) grid-tie systems due to its advantages which include greater energy harvest, simplified system installation, enhanced safety, and flexible expansion. Since an individual microinverter system is typically attached to the back of a PV module, it is desirable that it has a long lifespan that can match PV modules, which routinely warrant 25 years of operation. In order to increase the life expectancy and improve the long-term reliability, electrolytic capacitors must be avoided in microinverters because they have been identified as an unre

Abstract:

L'attività di ricerca ha riguardato lo studio di tecniche di controllo avanzato orientate al risparmio energetico nelle industrie di processo. Sono stati approfonditi aspetti teorici e pratici del controllo avanzato, focalizzando l’attenzione su tecniche di controllo predittivo. È stato sviluppato un pacchetto di controllo avanzato basato su un’architettura di controllo predittivo lineare a due livelli. Contributi innovativi hanno riguardato lo sviluppo di una formulazione coerente e consistente dei due livelli, insieme a miglioramenti della loro politica di cooperazione. Ulteriori contributi
