Heat exchanger design based on earthen materials
We propose herein the design of a heat exchanger based on clay materials in order to reduce the energy consumed due to data center cooling. Our Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system is to be placed upstream of the CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) unit. A direct contact heat exchanger is thereby built as a vertical packed bed, composed of earthen ...

Ant Colony Optimization for Energy-Efficient Train Operations
Traffic perturbations in railway systems may give rise to conflicts, which cause delays w.r.t. the timetable. Dealing with them requires solving the real-time Rail Traffic Management Problem (rtRTMP). A subproblem of the rtRTMP is the real-time Energy Consumption Minimization Problem (rtECMP). It defines the speed profiles along with the timing of ...
Calibrating models for MPC of energy systems in buildings using an adjoint-based sensitivity method
For several years, Model Predictive Control (MPC) is depicted in the literature as a promising way to increase buildings' energy efficiency during operation. This model-based control technique uses the optimal control theory to provide a constraint compliant, anticipative control, maximizing performance criteria. However, building and calibrating a...
Management of road speed sectioning to lower vehicle energy consumption
Efforts to limit climate change should concern the transportation sector which is responsible for roughly a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions. Aside from vehicle's technical progress and driver eco-driving awareness, road infrastructure has a role to play in this environmental aim. At the project stage, the design of roads can avoid energy losses...
Eco-driving potentiality of road infrastructures according to the adequacy between infrastructure geometrical characteri...
The link between road infrastructure and use energy has not been,studied in depth , particularly as the legitimate societal expectations for transportation are primarily related to efficiency and safety. The environmental emergency implies to explore new trends as minor optimization of the road to reduce the energy use. This thesis aims to develop ...
