(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The present thesis focuses on the optimal operation and design of solar-thermal energy storage systems. First, optimization of time-variable operation to maximize revenue through selling and purchasing electricity to/from ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Recently, exploration has been conducted into the applicability of binary mechatronics to active figure correction in large optical systems such as space telescopes and ground-based solar-thermal concentrators. This Thesis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Hazard avoidance is an important capability for safe operation of robotic vehicles at high speed. It is also an important consideration for passenger vehicle safety, as thousands are killed each year in passenger vehicle ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Most of the current uninhabitated Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are individually monitored, commanded and controlled by several operators of different expertise. However, looking forward, there has been a recent interest in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Fuel savings in ship navigation has always been a popular subject in the maritime industry as well as the world's largest Navies. Oil prices and environmental considerations drive the effort for more fuel-efficient navigation. ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, two new models are introduced for the purposes of (i) locating sites in hillside terrain suitable for central receiver solar thermal plants and (ii) optimization of heliostat field layouts for any terrain. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)When designing buildings, energy analysis is typically done after construction has been completed, but making the design decisions while keeping energy efficiency in mind, is one way to make energy-efficient buildings. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Due to a number of market development over the last decade, semiconductor manufacturing companies, including Intel Corporation, have added significant numbers of primarily high growth rate, high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) ...
