NeoPREDiCOM is a project coordinated between the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). Specifically with the Intelligent Control Research Group (GICI) (https://www.ehu.eus/es/web/gici/). Main goals: Design, develop and validate a novel multivariable and multi-objective predictive control...
The HYDRONE project, which started last September 2021 and is funded by the State Research Agency in its program for young researchers, seeks the hybridization of hydrogen cells with current LiPo batteries, commonly used in most commercial drones used in civilian applications. The HYDRONE team, formed by researchers from the Instituto de...
Optimisation is an enabling technology with a direct impact: on the sustainable use of natural resources (raw materials and energy); on the continuous improvement of production processes; and on the performance that new product and service designs can offer. The advances made in this project are of a transversal nature and can contribute to...
iCAREPLAST addresses the cost and energy-efficient recycling of a large fraction of today's non-recyclable plastics and composites from urban waste. Heterogeneous plastic mixtures will be converted into valuable chemicals via chemical routes. This multistage process will also yield carbon char and a pure CO2 stream as products, whilst it will...
The present project aims, on the one hand, to develop advanced tools to apply the multiobjective optimization methodology in the design of control systems for complex multivariable processes and, on the other hand, to advance in the development of multivariable controllers using multiobjective optimization, with special emphasis on model-based...
SUMMARY: In this project modeling, monitoring and control processes for microwave sintered materials are developed. This technique is a new application, emerged as an alternative method, has a number of advantages over conventional sintering methods: Rapid distribution of heat evenly. Materials require much less energy to be microwave sintered by...
This project aims to advance in the optimal control of hybrid vehicles. To achieve this goal, the following objectives are set: Developing an engine model capable of integrating the effect of temperature variation on engine emissions and consumption in a hybrid system. In this project we used average values models (MVEM). A part of the research...
Hydrogen as an energy carrier and fuel cell technology is seen as the most promising alternative in the medium term to achieve a sustainable and clean energy system. To achieve this goal various scientific and technological barriers have to be overcome. This project aims to contribute to the advance of this technology developing a device for...
In the present project, the use and application of optimization and advanced control strategies (multi-objective optimization, multivariable predictive control, etc.) in the design of flight control systems (FCS) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will be investigated. The research stated, will attempt to show that modern optimization algorithms...
