Disruption-caused railway timetable rescheduling problem and its solution

In the framework of this master thesis an adaptive large neighborhood search meta-heuristic is implemented to solve the disruption caused railway timetable rescheduling problem. The multi-objective optimisation tries to minimize the travel time of passenge ...

Heuristic optimal control of a heat pump to increase the self-consumption of photovoltaic electricity

In a previous project [7], a heuristic control algorithm has been developed to find optimal management of the system including : Photovoltaic panels + Inverter + Grid Connection + House Loads + Heat Pump + Domestic Hot Water Tank + Domestic Hot Water deman ...

Design of a spatial data infrastructure for low-cost distributed air quality sensors : a contribution to the Chicago Array of Things project

Anaïs Laurence Ladoy

In the context of this master thesis, a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) was designed to store distributed air quality sensors data to provide a framework to facilitate the downloading, the analysis and in turn the understanding of the spatial distributio ...

Universal noise in continuous transport measurements of interacting fermions

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We propose and analyze continuous measurements of atom number and atomic currents using dispersive probing in an optical cavity. For an atom-number measurement in a closed system, we relate both the detection noise and the heating rate due to measurement b ...

Characterisation of domestic hot water end-uses for integrated urban thermal energy assessment and optimisation

François Maréchal, Nils Christian Schüler, Alexandre Suzanne Jean-Marie Bertrand, Riad Aggoune

Former integrated urban energy assessments and optimisation have modelled domestic hot water (DHW) demand as a single stream, as space heating, currently, is the main energy demand in buildings and a detailed DHW modelling was therefore not required. Howev ...

Global warming is expected to lower the energy demand for heating, which would contribute to a decline in CO2 emissions. This effect may be offset by energy needs for additional cooling and by the impacts of households that reinvest the money they save on ...

Effect of concurrent precipitation on the texture evolution during continuous heating of multi directionally forged solution treated Al-Cu-Mg alloy

Roland Logé, Saeed Khani Moghanaki

Concurrent precipitation in an age hardenable aluminum alloy determines recrystallization behavior especially grains structure and recrystallization texture during continuous heating. In this study, to investigate the effect of concurrent precipitation on ...
