Decarbonization and defossilization of energy supply as well as increasing decentralization
of energy generation necessitate the development of efficient strategies for design and …

This paper reviews the current state of modelling and optimisation with regard to fuel cell
systems design. The existing models for portable, stationary and transportation fuel cell …

This paper provides a review of the literature on applications of optimization for design and
operation of processes for liquefaction of natural gas and a few related subjects. The review …

The nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is an on-line application based on nonlinear
convolution models. It is an appealing control methodology, but it is difficult to implement …

This book—the first of its kind—presents general methods for feedback controller synthesis
and optimization of multiscale systems, illustrating their application to thin-film growth …

In the context of stationary power generation, fuel cell-based systems are being foreseen as
a valuable alternative to thermodynamic cycle-based power plants, especially in small scale …

In this paper we present an approach for the dynamic optimization of energy and chemical
engineering processes with the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. The aim of this work is …

A method of synthesis of heat-integrated distillation sequences with mechanical vapor
recompression (MVR-HIDSs) is proposed based on stochastic optimization in this study. The …

The determination of the appropriate operational profile of a ship through the adjustment of
its sailing speed can potentially present a fruitful prospect in the effort towards the …

Piece-wise affine and mixed logical dynamical models for discrete time linear hybrid
systems are reviewed. Constrained optimal control problems with linear and quadratic …
