Renewable energy integration and waste heat valorization in aluminum remelting for co-producing kerosene and methanol
François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos, Réginald Germanier
The aluminium sector relies on natural gas for the conversion of recycled scrap into new feedstock, which results in substantial atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also impacted, as they serve as heat sinks for the waste heat generated during the ...

Associazione Italiana Di Ingegneria Chimica2024Advanced control strategies to exploit the hydropower potential enhancing ancillary services provision to the power system
The European Union's Green Deal aims for a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. To reach this goal, a massive integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) into the power grid is necessary. As RES become a large part of the electricity genera ...
EPFL2024The effect of smooth parametrizations on nonconvex optimization landscapes
We develop new tools to study landscapes in nonconvex optimization. Given one optimization problem, we pair it with another by smoothly parametrizing the domain. This is either for practical purposes (e.g., to use smooth optimization algorithms with good g ...
Springer Heidelberg2024Performance of energy piles foundation in hot-dominated climate: A case study in Dubai
Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Sofie Elaine ten Bosch
Energy piles represent an innovative technology that can help provide sustainable geothermal heating or cooling energy for thermal conditioning purposes. In hot-dominated climates, the interest is to inject heat in the ground and extract energy for space-c ...
2024Towards edible robots and robotic food
Dario Floreano, Bokeon Kwak, Markéta Pankhurst, Jun Shintake
Edible robots and robotic food — edible systems that perceive, process and act upon stimulation — could open a new range of opportunities in health care, environmental management and the promotion of healthier eating habits. For example, they could enable ...
2024BENIGN LANDSCAPES OF LOW-DIMENSIONAL RELAXATIONS FOR ORTHOGONAL SYNCHRONIZATION ON GENERAL GRAPHS
Orthogonal group synchronization is the problem of estimating n elements Z(1),& mldr;,Z(n) from the rxr orthogonal group given some relative measurements R-ij approximate to Z(i)Z(j)(-1). The least-squares formulation is nonconvex. To avoid its local minim ...
Siam Publications2024Beyond the average consumer: Mapping the potential of demand-side management among patterns of appliance usage
Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Selin Yilmaz, Matteo Barsanti
To support the decarbonisation of the power sector and offset the volatility of a system with high levels of renewables, there is growing interest in residential Demand-Side Management (DSM) solutions. Traditional DSM strategies require consumers to active ...
202450 years of behavioral models for transportation and logistics
Michel Bierlaire, Léa Massé Ricard
Fifty years ago, transportation and logistics problems were primarily analyzed either from a supply-side or a demand-side perspective, with the fields of operations research and demand modeling evolving separately. Since then, there has been a growing inte ...
2024Electrochemical devices and computer science: water/thermal management of proton exchange membrane fuel cells and electrolyzers in different scales
The current restrictions on the registration of combustion engines in different countries and the harmful impacts of fossil fuels on the environment and human health have motivated decision-makers to use batteries and/or fuel cells as alternatives for comb ...
