Nowadays, the alternative internal combustion engines are undergoing increasingly strict emission regulations. For that reason, research in this field is focused on looking for new techniques that allow a reduction in engine emissions. In this way, it is possible to highlight the exhaust gas recirculation technique (EGR), which introduces exhaust...
Greenhouse cultivation has expanded extensively in Europe thanks to technological advances for optimising production systems. To advance integrated control we need, firstly, to improve our knowledge of plant physiology in relation to water flows and nutrients, and associate these flows with internal plant processes and the dynamics of nutrients...
This special initiative aims to create a thematic network for communication between a number of research groups in several Spanish universities working in the area of systems engineering and automation. The research groups have considerable experience developing projects and sponsored research agreements and this experience has enabled them to...
The main objective of this project is to design a control algorithm that will allow to control jointly the turbocharger pressure and the exhaust fumes re-circulation in turbocharger Diesel engines. At the moment, the turbocharger and the exhaust fumes re-circulation are regulated by independent loop, even though they are strongly coupled as a...
Our objectives are: Further our understanding of the physiological behaviour of roses, characterise the response of roses, examine flower quality, study the relationship between physiological flows in roses and environmental conditions (climate, substrate). Design and develop an automated climate control and fertilisation system adapted to the...
