A combined genetic algorithm and active learning approach to build and test surrogate models in Process Systems Engineering

François Maréchal, Julia Granacher

In Process Systems Engineering, computationally-demanding models are frequent and plentiful. Handling such complexity in an optimization framework in a fast and reliable way is essential, not only for generating meaningful solutions but also for providing ...

Photoelectrochemical Cell Engineering for Solar Energy Conversion

Dan Zhang

Solar energy is the most abundant energy source, harnessing solar energy holds the solution to the challenge of increasing global energy demand and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Photovoltaics which directly convert solar energy into electricity ...

Genetic Algorithms for the Discovery of Homogeneous Catalysts

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Alexandre Alain Schöpfer, Simone Gallarati

In this account, we discuss the use of genetic algorithms in the inverse design process of homogeneous catalysts for chemical transformations. We describe the main components of evolutionary experiments, specifically the nature of the fitness function to o ...

An analysis of the impacts of green mobility strategies and technologies on different European energy system

François Maréchal, Jonas Schnidrig, Tuong-Van Nguyen

A successful decarbonization of the European Union, coupled with a high integration of renewable energy and ambitious targets for energy efficiency, can only be reached with a significant contribution from transport. This sector currently represents a quar ...

2021

Gate-lag induced trapping effects due to donor-like surface traps located in the access regions between the electrodes of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs are investigated through TCAD transient simulations. The effects of variation in trap energy level and temperature on ...

On the Assessment of the CO2 Mitigation Potential of Woody Biomass

François Maréchal, François Richard Vuille, Emanuela Peduzzi, Victor Codina Gironès

Woody biomass, a renewable energy resource, accumulates solar energy in form of carbon hydrates produced from atmospheric CO2 and H2O. It is, therefore, a means of CO2 mitigation for society as long as the biogenic carbon released to the atmosphere when de ...

Box-type solar cooker

Andreas Schueler, Dasaraden Mauree, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Alexandre Stéphane Charles Richard Dievart

Solar cooker with a core comprising at least one insulating wall and at least one window having a glazing on which is deposited a low-e coating, characterized by the fact that said window(s) is/are oriented along several directions ...
