Europe is currently making a great effort in order to improve the sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of its energy and transportation systems. A key role on these initiatives is played by efficient generation systems, like cogeneration, and ...
A novel 8-bit current mode interleaved successive approximation (SAR) analog-digital converter (ADC) has been proposed. The proposed converter architecture is very flexible. Using two control DC voltages and one reference current, the converter can be tune ...
Digital circuits operating in the sub-threshold regime are able to perform minimum energy operation at a given delay. In the sub-threshold regime circuit delay, hence the leakage energy consumption depends on the supply voltage exponentially. By reducing t ...
This paper is focused on the design, modulation and control of a re-generative non-symmetrical multi-level converter for high-power applications such as oil and gas or mining. The converter is based on standard IGBT modules and the DC-link voltages are cho ...
Digital circuits operating in the sub-threshold regime are able to perform minimum energy operation at a given delay. In the sub-threshold regime the circuit delay, and hence, the leakage energy consumption depend on the supply voltage exponentially. By re ...
This thesis presents a methodology to analyse the integration of heat recovery energy conversion technologies and biorefinery concepts in existing pulp and paper facilities. By using innovative process integration techniques and thermo-economic optimisatio ...
A method for the analysis of process energy requirements has been used to identify in an early design stage the potential process retrofit measures in an integrated pulp and paper mill. The minimum energy requirements (MER) of the process were computed by ...
Reducing energy consumption in the pulp and paper industry can lead to considerable cost savings. The three main points to consider when implementing an energy efficiency program in a mill are the reduction of the energy requirement, the energy recovery an ...
In this paper we present Matlab analysis as well as CMOS implementation of an analog current mode Kohonen neural network (KNN). The presented KNN has been realized using several building blocks proposed earlier by the authors, such as: binary tree winner t ...
This article presents a method aimed at tracking energy saving opportunities in the food-processing industry through a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. On the one hand, the top-down modelling method aims at correlating the measured energy ...
