Design, development and on-field testing of advanced solutions for monitoring, diagnosis and fault mitigation of SOFCs
(2020-12-20)
The work presented in this thesis is aimed at developing an advanced
algorithm to monitor the State of Health (SoH) of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
(SOFCs). Then a computational structure has been implemented for the
diagnosis ...
Test and development of a solar-hybrid vehicle prototype and turbo-compressor model for automotive engines
(2016-03-31)
In last decade, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) have emerged as real alternatives to engine-driven vehicles, in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions... [edited by Author]
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy for the on-board diagnosis of PEMFC via on-line identification of Equivalent Circuit Model parameters
(2014-04-04)
Proton Exchange Membrane, also named Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are
interesting devices for energy conversion. Their development is due to the high efficiency,
acceptable power density, quick start-up ...
Modeling and control of advanced powertrain systems and Waste Heat Recovery technologies for the reduction of CO2 emissions in light-duty vehicles
(2016-04-01)
Transportation is the major sector in the EU where greenhouse gas emissions are still rising. Therefore, in the recent years, the OEMs research and development has focused on the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ...
Models for design and control of a solar-hybrid vehicle with a tracking solar roof
(2013-04-09)
Our planet faces significant challenges in the twenty-first century because energy consumption
is expected to double globally during the first half of this century. Faced with increasingly
constrained oil supplies, humanity ...
Sperimentazione e controllo di un veicolo ibrido solare con tetto orientabile
(2013-04-09)
Da alcuni anni la questione energetico - ambientale è ormai diventata di dominio pubblico,
perdendone magari dal punto di vista scientifico, ma diventando in grado di condizionare i
comportamenti di una parte sempre crescente ...
Optimization of SI and CI engine control strategies via integrated simulation of combustion and turbocharging
(2013-04-08)
Combustion engines have been for a long time the most important prime mover for transportation
globally. A combustion engine is simple in its nature; a mix of fuel and air is combusted, and work
is produced in the operating ...
Optimal tuning of control variables in CR Diesel engines via Multi-Zone modelling of combustion and emissions with experimental testing
(2016-03-30)
The interest in Diesel engines for automotive application has dramatically grown in the last decades, due to the benefits gained with the introduction of Common Rail system and electronic control. A strong increase in fuel ...
Development and experimental validation of CPOx reforming dynamic model for fault detection and isolation in SOFC systems
(2015-06-13)
In the present work an investigation of the reforming technologies available for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems and their basic concepts has been carried out, with the aim to describe, test and simulate the reforming ...
Development of solid oxide fuel cell stack models for monitoring, diagnosis and control applications
(2013-07-26)
In the present thesis different SOFC stack models have been presented.
The results shown were obtained in the general framework of the GENIUS
project (GEneric diagNosis Instrument for SOFC systems), funded by the
European ...
