2. 6. Model Based Optimization of a Complete Diesel Engine/SCR System

   Author : Claes Ericson; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MPC; model based optimization; real time models; model based control; SCR; optimization; EGR;

   Abstract : Achieving upcoming emissions legislation (Euro VI) for heavy trucks is a serious challenge for the manufacturers. Apart from the increasingly strict limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate emissions (PM), the limited amount of fossil fuels as well as alarming climate changes simultaneously drives the demand for low CO2 emissions.

4. 7. Polyhydroxyl and Polyphosphorylcholine functionalized Silica for Hydrophilic interaction liquid Chromatography- Synthesis, characterization and application

   Author : Nhat Thi Hong Bui; Knut Irgum; Michael Lämmerhofer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography; HILIC; silica; TRIS; acrylamide acrylate; ATRP; iniferter; “controlled living’’ radical polymerization; N; N′-methylenebisacrylamide; MPC; stationary phase; analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development of new stationary phases for use in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography using TRIS-based and phosphorylcholine typed monomers and porous silica particles as starting substrates. In this thesis, several ways of polymerizing highly hydrophilic mono­mers onto pore surfaces of silica supports are described, based on several “grafting from” schemes. READ MORE

5. 8. Cost-effective Communication and Control Architectures for Active Low Voltage Grids

   Author : Mikel Armendáriz; Lars Nordström; Sami Repo; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active low voltage distribution grids; CAPEX OPEX; communication control architectures; cost-effectiveness; MPC; multiagent systems; photovoltaics; voltage control.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The monitoring and control of low voltage distribution grids has historically been disregarded due to the unidirectional flow of power. However, nowadays the massive integration of distributed energy resources into distribution grids, such as solar photovoltaics, distributed storage, electric vehicles and demand response programs, presents some challenges.

6. 9. Server-Aided Privacy-Preserving Proximity Testing

   Author : Ivan Oleinikov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; active security; MPC; privacy; secure proximity testing;

   Abstract : Proximity testing is at the core of many Location-Based online Services (LBS) which we use in our daily lives to order taxis, find places of interest nearby, connect with people. Currently, most such services expect a user to submit his location to them and trust the LBS not to abuse this information, and use it only to provide the service. READ MORE

7. 10. Look-ahead control for fuel-efficient and safe heavy-duty vehicle platooning

   Author : Valerio Turri; Karl H. Johansson; Petros Ioannou; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platoon; platooning; optimization; optimal control; model predictive control; automatic control; fuel efficiency; intelligent transport systems; automated driving; cooperative; dynamic programming; trucks; heavy-duty vehicles; safe platooning; fuel-efficient platooning; distributed model predictive control; MPC; vehicle-following; pulse and glide; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : The operation of heavy-duty vehicles at small inter-vehicular distances, known as platoons, lowers the aerodynamic drag and, therefore, reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Tests conducted on flat roads have shown the potential of platooning to reduce the fuel consumption of about 10%. READ MORE
