Study and development of an integrated system identification and control design approach for multi-variable nonlinear systems. KU Leuven
Today’s state-of-the art methods for system and control design are model based. The ever increasing demand for higher performance and efficiency pushes control design methodologies to handle more complex system dynamics, specifications, constraints, and conditions. Since these developments rely on the availability of accurate models, similar advancements in system identification are required. Till now, most actors in the fields of nonlinear ...
Conceptual model structure identification and calibration for river and sewer systems. KU Leuven
Keywords: river; sewer; integral water management; conceptual modelling; water quantity modelling; model structure identification and calibration; software
Water management is constantly evolving. Trends, such as population growth, urbanization and climate change, pose new challenges to water management. Risks and uncertainties have to be taken into account in order to develop strategies that remain cost-effective on the long term. ...
Model Based System Engineering approaches for the identification and monitoring of mechatronic systems KU Leuven
This dissertation focuses on the efficient and accurate generation of sensitivity information for various optimization problems characterized by a large design space in the field of flexible multibody system dynamics. These various optimization problems, such as parameter identification, optimal input and topology optimization, enable the mechatronic industry to reach targets on energy-efficiency, performance, reliability, etc. Accurate ...

From a theoretical point of view, the prime advantage of the newly proposed paradigm is conceptual unification of existing methods. From a practical point of view, the proposed paradigm opens new possibilities for development ...
Theory, algorithms and tools for generic solutions to knowledge-intensive business problems from formal specifications KU Leuven
New theory and applications with the regularized Kappa-distribution KU Leuven
The main goal of the proposed project is the advancement of the non-equilibrium plasma theory and specific key applications by employing the Regularized Kappa Distribution (RKD) introduced recently for a realistic interpretation of suprathermal particle populations and their macroscopic implications in various astrophysical systems. The new RKD concept motivates systematic explorations of its consequences in kinetic as well as fluid theory ...
Synergy Between Control Theory and Machine Learning for Building Energy Management KU Leuven
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy use accounted 9384 Mtoe in 2015. The building sector is the largest energy-demanding sector, with over one-third of final energy use globally. In addition, Building Energy Management (BEM) allows to unlock flexibility for the grid(s) by Demand Response (DR) strategies. This facilitates the integration of more Renewable Energy Sources (RES), thus achieving lower overall emissions of ...
