This paper presents a targeting strategy to solve the heat load distribution (HLD) problem for large-scale plant by dividing the system into sub-systems while considering the heat transfer opportunities between them. The methodology is based on a sequentia ...
This thesis deals with models and methods for large scale optimization problems; in particular, we focus on decision problems arising in the context of seaport container terminals for the efficient management of terminal operations. Large-scale optimizatio ...
This work presents a synthesis method that leads to the preliminary design of industrial energy systems. Such systems are composed of several technologies that transform, through a set of physical unit operations, raw materials and energy into products and ...
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 ...
We study minimizing the sum of weighted completion times in a concurrent open shop. We give a primaldual 2-approximation algorithm for this problem. We also show that several natural linear programming relaxations for this problem have an integrality gap o ...
The purpose of software partitioning is to assign code segments of a given computer program to a range of execution locations such as general-purpose processors or specialist hardware components. These execution locations differ in speed, communication cha ...
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 ...
This paper presents an approach for combined mass and energy integration in process synthesis and illustrates it at the production of crude synthetic natural gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass and its separation in a membrane cascade. Based on a genera ...
This thesis presents a systematic methodology, based on pinch analysis and process integration techniques, to integrate heat pumps into industrial processes. The main goals are to decrease the energy consumption and the corresponding operating costs, and t ...
New multimedia embedded applications are becoming increasingly dynamic. Thus, they cannot only rely on static data allocation, and must employ Dynamically-allocated Data Types (DDTs) to store their data and efficiently use the limited physical resources of ...
