Even though rail transportation is one of the most fuel efficient forms of surface transportation, the cost of fuel constitutes one of the major categories of very high operating costs for railroad companies. In the United States, unlike in Europe, fueling ...
The design and operating of energy systems are key issues for matching the energy supply and consumption. Several optimization methods based on the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) have been developed for this purpose. However, due to the uncertaint ...
In this paper, a novel model for single-bit internal quantizer Sigma Delta-modulators is presented. It is shown that this model can be used for an exact stability prediction of these systems. Furthermore, it is explained how the necessary computations can ...

Tracking the ball is critical for video-based analysis of team sports. However, it is difficult, especially in low resolution images, due to the small size of the ball, its speed that creates motion blur, and its often being occluded by players. In this pa ...
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 ...
This diploma project is a joint effort between Industrial Energy System Laboratory (LENI) of EPFL and CanmetENERGY-Varennes of Natural Resources Canada on the application of advanced process integration methods for the optimal water and energy integration ...
Even though rail transportation is one of the most fuel efficient forms of surface transportation, fueling costs are one of the highest operating cost head for railroad companies. In US, unlike Europe, fueling costs are indeed, by far, the single highest o ...
The world has faced many natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, resulting in millions of people living in temporary camps across the globe. The energy and clean water needs of the relief operators in such emergency situations are primarily s ...
Energy planning recently received more attention in Switzerland through the new strategy phasing out nuclear energy by 2034. Often however the energy planning is only done from the electrical side. This work takes a different angel and helps communities an ...
Under Energy Strategy 2050, the federal government of Switzerland plans to greatly reduce per capita energy consumption, decrease the share of fossil fuels, and replace the nuclear electricity generation by gains in efficiency and use of renewable energy s ...
