Distributed Graph-based Convoy Control for Networked Intelligent Vehicles
Alcherio Martinoli, Ali Marjovi, Milos Vasic, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre
This paper presents an approach for formation control of multi-lane vehicular convoys in highways. We extend a Laplacian graph-based, distributed control law such that networked intelligent vehicles can join or leave the formation dynamically without jeopa ...
IEEE2015Synthesis factors affecting the catalytic performance and stability of Ru/C catalysts for supercritical water gasification
Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Gaël Peng
Catalytic supercritical water gasification of isopropanol (450 degrees C, 30 MPa) over Ru/C catalysts was carried out in a fixed-bed plug flow reactor. In the absence of Ru, isopropanol decomposed to solid carbon (coke), and H-2 over the carbon support. Th ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2014A stochastic dynamic game of the 2050 European Energy Roadmap with CCS
Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie
Overview Climate policy is one of the corner stones of European Union (EU) policy. In 2011, the European Commission has defined a roadmap to low carbon economy in 2050 in which the Commission reconfirmed the EU objective of reducing European greenhouse gas ...
2014A hybrid absorption-adsorption method to efficiently capture carbon
Berend Smit, Xiaoqi Zhang, Jin Wang, Yuqing Wu
Removal of carbon dioxide is an essential step in many energy-related processes. Here we report a novel slurry concept that combines specific advantages of metal-organic frameworks, ion liquids, amines and membranes by suspending zeolitic imidazolate frame ...
Nature Publishing Group2014A post-2020 EU energy technology policy: Revisiting the strategic energy technology plan
With the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) expiring in 2020, the EU needs to revisit its energy technology policy for the post-2020 horizon and to establish a policy framework that fosters the achievement of ambitious EU commitments for ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2014Large lakes as sources and sinks of anthropogenic heat: Capacities and limits
Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid
The goal of reducing carbon fuel and thereby saving energy will increase the use of lake water for heating and cooling of riparian infrastructures. This raises the question of which heat use designs meet the ecological and technical requirements for lakes, ...

As a building physicis engineer specialized in daylighting and passive solar strategies for buildings, Marilyne Andersen provides an overview of her pioneering work in comfort and health implications of daylight, and on low-energy building technologies. Wi ...
2013Steering the Chemistry of Carbon Oxides on a NiCu Catalyst
Alfonso Baldereschi, Michele Rizzi
In the perspective of a sustainable energy economy, CO2 reduction is attracting increasing attention as a key Step toward the synthesis of fuels and valuable chemicals. A possible strategy to develop novel conversion catalysts consists in mimicking reactio ...
Amer Chemical Soc2013Implementation of a genetic transformation strategy to improve the biological CO2 capture in Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.
Christian Ludwig, Mariluz Bagnoud
The concept of producing renewable microalgae biomass using as a main nutrient source a secondary wastewater stream is presently under investigation. It is planned to purify the wastewater by the growth of algal biomass while producing a feedstock that can ...
2013Organic molecules as mediators and catalysts for photocatalytic and electrocatalytic CO2 reduction
Reduction of CO2 by electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods to produce carbon-rich fuels is a heavily pursued research theme. Most of the current efforts are focused on the development of transition-metal-based catalysts. In this tutorial review, ...
