      Haugen, Finn; Bakke, Rune; Lie, Bernt; Hovland, Jon; Vasdal, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-01)
      Optimal design and operation of a planned full-scale UASB reactor at a dairy farm are determined using optimization algorithms based on steady state simulations of a dynamic AD process model combined with models of the ...
    • PCR/PLSR optimization based on noise covariance estimation and Kalman filtering theory 

      Ergon, Rolf; Esbensen, Kim H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)
      The theoretical connection between principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares regression (PLSR) on one hand and Kalman filtering (KF) on the other is known from earlier work. In the present paper we ...
    • Thermal solar energy use: Modeling and optimization 

      Martín, Juan José Pérez (Master thesis, 2015-09-25)
      The sun in Norway is a very important source of energy due to the large number of hours of sunshine there are in the spring and summer months. For this reason this source of energy could replace the oil and part of the ...
