Science in pictures To the point: Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems "The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas system is investigated. The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed cont..." [More...] Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems. M. Arnold, R.R. Negenborn, G. Andersson, B. De Schutter. In Proceedings of the European Control Conference 2009 (ECC'09), Budapest, Hungary, pp. 1408-1413, August 2009.    Adaptive control for autonomous ships with uncertain model and unknown propeller dynamics "Motion control is one of the most critical aspects in the design of autonomousships. During maneuvering, the dynamics of propellers as well as the craft hy-drodynamical specifications experience sever uncertainties. In this paper, anadaptive control approach is proposed to control the motion and trajectorytracking of an autonomous vessel by adopting neural networks that is used f..." [More...] Adaptive control for autonomous ships with uncertain model and unknown propeller dynamics.

This has resulted in adoption of new and more environmental friendly power sources and fuels for on-board power generation. One of these novel power sources is the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) which has a great potential to act as a power source, thanks to its high efficiency and capability to handle a wide ..." [More...] Component sizing and energy management for SOFC-based ship power systems.

Open access.    Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks "In North-West Europe, the options for intermodal inland transportation of containers are increasing. Inland corridors become increasingly interconnected in hinterland networks. To minimize operating costs, new methods are required that allow integral network operations management. The network operations consist of allocating containers to available inland transportation services, i.e. planning. Fo..." [More...] Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks. B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, G. Lodewijks, R. Dekker.
