ECOS: Integrated and practical energy planning for new districts

François Maréchal, Jakob Moritz Fabian Rager, Cédric Dorsaz

In this paper, we propose a unified method for the integrated energy planning during the development of new districts for all involved actors. Taking energy related problems such as equipment choice and size, costs and environmental impact early into consi ...

Simulation of Urban Energy Flow: A Graph Theory Inspired Approach

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Diane Perez

Following the increased consciousness regarding global warming and other environmental issues, there is a growing urge in cities for a more rational energy supply and use in buildings. In parallel, the range of possible actions has broaden, from building r ...

A codimension two stable manifold of near soliton equivariant wave maps

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We consider finite-energy equivariant solutions for the wave map problem from ℝ2+1 to S2 which are close to the soliton family. We prove asymptotic orbital stability for a codimension-two class of initial data which is small with respect to a stronger topo ...

Energy integration optimisation of chilled ammonia process for CO2 capture

François Maréchal, Laurence Tock

Within the global challenge of climate change mitigation, CO2 capture and storage is regarded as a potential option to reduce the CO2 emissions in power plants. The most common technology to capture CO2 is chemical absorption with amines, requiring however ...

Net primary energy balance of a solar-driven photoelectrochemical water-splitting device

Sophia Haussener

A fundamental requirement for a renewable energy generation technology is that it should produce more energy during its lifetime than is required to manufacture it. In this study we evaluate the primary energy requirements of a prospective renewable energy ...

Global dynamics away from the ground state for the energy-critical nonlinear wave equation

Joachim Krieger

We study global behavior of radial solutions for the nonlinear wave equation with the focusing energy critical nonlinearity in three and five space dimensions. Assuming that the solution has energy at most slightly more than the ground states and gets away ...
