Optimal Integration of Renewable Energy in Buildings Using Predictive Control

Today’s world faces a large problem which is global warming. Glaciers melting see, and oceans water level rising, and droughts in Africa. According to [1] there are seven main sources of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels combustion: 1. Solid fuels (e.g. coal ...

Multimodel estimates of intercontinental source-receptor relationships for ozone pollution

Songmei Wu, Isabelle Bey

Understanding the surface O-3 response over a "receptor" region to emission changes over a foreign "source" region is key to evaluating the potential gains from an international approach to abate ozone (O-3) pollution. We apply an ensemble of 21 global and ...

Non-market strategies on climate change

The project is dealing with the influence of private actors on climate policy, namely the influence of business on Swiss climate policy. The project uses a case study, assessing the voluntary agreements concluded between the federal government and the asso ...

Experimental investigation of prechamber autoignition in a natural gas engine for cogeneration

Daniel Favrat, Stefan Heyne, Michael Meier

A novel ignition concept based on autoignition in an unscavanged prechamber is currently being developed at the Laboratory for Industrial Energy Systems (LENI). On a single cylinder test engine a series of experimental runs (CR=8.5-14, =1-1.6, RPM=1150/150 ...

Comprehensive simultaneous shipboard and airborne characterization of exhaust from a modern container ship at sea

Athanasios Nenes

We report the first joint shipboard and airborne study focused on the chemical composition and water-uptake behavior of particulate ship emissions. The study focuses on emissions from the main propulsion engine of a Post-Panamax class container ship cruisi ...

Method and apparatus to determine a planet vector

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun, Noémy Scheidegger

The present invention relates to a method for a low cost Planet vector Sensor based on imaging atmospheric oxygen emission at 762 nm or at 557.7 wavelengths using either CMOS, CCD or arrays of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). In both daytime and nig ...

Optical properties of annealed Mn2+-doped ZnS nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz, Yvonne Axmann

Cysteine stabilized ZnS and Mn2+-doped ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized by a wet chemical route. Using the ZnS:Mn2+ nanoparticles as seeds, silica-coated ZnS (ZnS@Si) and ZnS:Mn2+ (ZnS:Mn2+@Si) nanocomposites were formed in water by hydrolysis and conden ...

A multi-model assessment of pollution transport to the Arctic

Isabelle Bey

We examine the response of Arctic gas and aerosol concentrations to perturbations in pollutant emissions from Europe. East and South Asia, and North America using results from a coordinated model intercomparison. These sensitivities to regional emissions ( ...

The Potential for Premium-intermodal Services to Reduce Freight CO2 Emissions in the Quebec City - Windsor Corridor

The Quebec City-Windsor corridor (the Corridor) is the busiest and most important trade and transportation corridor in Canada. The transportation sector is the second largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emission category in the country. This paper develops estima ...

Sustainability, neutrality and beyond in the framework of Swiss post-2012 climate policy

Marc Vielle, Juan Carlos Altamirano Cabrera, André Sceia

Switzerland, as many developed countries, face a double problem for the next round of international negotiations on climate change. On the one hand, short term economic strategies would favor the implementation of a global carbon market that would minimize ...
