Optimization of a Centrifugal Compressor Impeller for Robustness to Manufacturing Uncertainties

Compressor impellers for mass-market turbochargers are die-casted and machined with an aim to achieve high dimensional accuracy and acquire specific performance. However, manufacturing uncertainties result in dimensional deviations causing incompatible ope ...

To Share or Not to Share: Adjustment Dynamics in Sharing Markets

Thomas Alois Weber, Maryam Razeghian Jahromi

To aid in the description and estimation of the tremendous recent growth in the collaborative economy, we provide a model for the dynamic sharing, subject to ﬁxed costs. The sharing economy comprises a set of inﬁnitely lived, heterogeneous suppliers, who t ...

Investment and production costs of synthetic fuels - A literature survey

Guillaume Boissonnet, Emanuela Peduzzi

Synthetic fuels, or synfuels, can be produced from gas, coal and biomass. The conversion of gas and coal is well established but lignocellulosic biomass conversion is slow to develop. This paper addresses the issue of the production cost of second generati ...

The economic performance of Swiss drinking water utilities

Andrea Baranzini, Anne-Kathrin Faust

This paper measures the performance in terms of costs of Swiss drinking water utilities accounting for environmental factors. We estimate a translog stochastic variable cost frontier using two different techniques on an unbalanced panel of 141 water distri ...

A Bayesian mean field game approach to supply demand analysis of the smart grid

Maryam Kamgarpour

We explore a game theoretic framework for multiple energy producers competing in energy market. Each producer, referred to as a player, optimizes its own objective function given the demand utility. The equilibrium strategy of each player depends on the pr ...

Distributionally Robust Workforce Scheduling in Call Centers with Uncertain Arrival Rates

Shuangqing Liao

Call centre scheduling aims to determine the workforce so as to meet target service levels. The service level depends on the mean rate of arrival calls, which fluctuates during the day, and from day to day. The staff schedule must adjust the workforce peri ...

Optimal input design for direct data-driven tuning of model-reference controllers

Alireza Karimi

In recent years, direct data-driven controller tuning methods have been proposed as an alternative to the standard model-based approach for model-reference control design. In this work, the problem of input design for noniterative direct data-driven techni ...

Optimal Inventory Policies with Non-stationary Supply Disruptions and Advance Supply Information

Bilge Atasoy

We consider a periodic review, single-item, deterministic demand inventory model under non-stationary supply availability which has an all-or-nothing type of structure. Supply availability information is provided by the supplier which we refer as advance s ...

Optimal process design for the polygeneration of SNG, power and heat by hydrothermal gasification of waste biomass: Process optimisation for selected substrates

François Maréchal, Frédéric Vogel, Martin Gassner, Georges Heyen

Based on a previously developed thermo-economic process model, this paper presents a detailed design study for the polygeneration of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), power and heat by catalytic hydrothermal gasification of biomass and biomass wastes in supercr ...
