Plug and Play monitoring and control architecture for optimization of large scale production processes (PAPYRUS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
The first objective of the project is plant-wide application of asset management. It lifts the focus from single-component diagnostics to a plant-wide view of both asset performance and asset condition. Secondly, because di-agnostics need to result in actions, diagnostic information (asset information) is used to generate control actions. Control refers to all levels of the automation pyramid, i.e ...

"TRIple Energy Saving by Use of CRP, CLT and PODded Propulsion" (TRIPOD)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"There is a need for fast ship transportation that is both efficient and non-polluting. Conventional propellers are known to have low efficiency. As an indicative example, most of ship propellers installed on cargo vessels waste about 40 percent of the energy in the form of rotational losses in the wake, vortex generation, noise production, cavitation, etc. The recovery of such losses is one of th ...

Future INternet for Smart ENergY (FINSENY)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
The energy sector has entered a period of major change which will continue for many years to come. The increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources means that the architecture of the energy grid will have to support the distributed, in addition to the centralised, generation of energy and to adapt to a highly volatile supply e.g. from wind and solar generators. From the consumption ...

Active distribution network (ADINE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
Considerable amount of renewable energy in Europe represents distributed generation (DG). One of the main barriers for the penetration of DG at distribution network level is the complexity of the interconnection of DG. The overall aim of the ADINE-project is to develop, demonstrate and validate a new Active Network Management (ANM) method of distribution network including DG and enabling solutions ...
