In the last 10 years, a number of “conventional fluctuation theorems” have been derived for systems with deterministic or stochastic dynamics, in a transient or in a non-equilibrium stationary state. These theorems gave explicit expressions for the ratio of the probability to find the system...

Denmark’s long-term energy goal is to develop an energy system solely based on renewable energy sources by 2050. To reach this goal, energy savings in buildings is essential. Therefore, the focus on energy efficient measures in buildings and net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) has increased.

Using industrial excess heat in District Heating (DH) networks reduces the need for primary energy and is considered efficient resource use. The conditions of Swedish DH markets are under political discussion in the Third Party Access (TPA) proposal, which would facilitate the delivery of firms'...

Current, manual, materials management and control procedures are unsatisfactory: they are labour intensive, inaccurate and error prone. The result is waste and surplus of materials, delays, decrease in productivity and lack of up-to-date, real-time information regarding the status of purchase...

Lateral tower vibrations of offshore wind turbines are normally lightly damped, and large amplitude vibrations induced by wind and wave loads in this direction may significantly shorten the fatigue life of the tower. This paper proposes the modeling and control of lateral tower vibrations in...

Rectified transport of self-propelled particles in an asymmetric period potential is numerically investigated by employing a feedback control protocol. The feedback control is switched on and off depending on the direction of the self-propelled speed. It is found that the direction of the...

In this paper, we propose a family of feedback controls that guarantee the strong stabilization of unbounded parabolic bilinear systems, where the operator of control is supposed unbounded in the sense that it is bounded from the state space into some extension. An explicit decay estimate is...

A comprehensive stochastic management methodology is developed for a distributed-parameter estuary system (DPES) which is described by partial differential equations (PDEs). The proposed stochastic management methodology consists of uncertainty-based calibration (i.e. parameter estimation under...
