We address the multicriterion optimization of utility plants with economic and environmental concerns. Rather than optimizing a single environmental metric, which was the traditional approach followed in the past, we focus on optimizing these systems consi ...
We propose the construction of a highly innovative spectrometer – CAMEA – offering Continuous Angular and Multiple Energy Analysis. Combining indirect time-of flight with multiple consecutive analyser arrays, this instrument will provide massive flux on th ...
Long-term planning for energy systems is often based on deterministic economic optimization and forecasts of fuel prices. When fuel price evolution is underestimated, the consequence is a low penetration of renewables and more efficient technologies in fav ...
Long-term planning for energy systems is often based on deterministic economic optimization and unreliable forecasts of fuel prices. Usual consequence is a low penetration of renewables and more efficient technologies in favor of fossil alternatives. A cla ...
GIScience methods and geodata may contribute to the elaboration of efficient decision‐making approaches to favor the conservation of plant/animal genetic diversity and to favor the advancement of our understanding of mechanisms controlling the evolution of ...
Informed decision-making is the basis for the design of Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). This paper investigates the use of building performance simulation tools as a method of informing the design decision of NZEBs. The aim of this study was to develop ...
A significant theme in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is the stability of returns to scale (RTS) classification of specific decision making unit (DMU) which is under observed production possibility set. In this study the observed DMUs are public postal op ...
Starting from the assumption of a future where the use of cars will be limited in dense urban areas, and thus streets could be used for innovative transport modes, this project investigates a system based on accelerated moving walkways (AMW). Differently f ...
The post-industrial European city is characterized by dispersed urbanization, resulting in increased travel, substantial use of land, social disparities and costs that are unsustainable in the long term. Consequently, most European countries have set the g ...
A new method for the design of fixed-order dynamic output-feedback Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controllers for discrete-time LPV systems with bounded scheduling parameter variations is presented in this paper. Sufficient conditions for the stability, H2 ...
