The aviation sector has suffered a big blow from the series of recent economic depressions. Airlines are struggling to stay in business and are looking for multiple ways to cut on expenses. This has led to the initiation of studies to find strategies which will reduce an airline’s overall fuel consumption. One of these methods is to initiate intermediate refueling stop operations on long-haul flights. This means that instead of flying with a fully fueled aircraft from e.g., Amsterdam to Tokyo, the route is split into two or more segments which are flown with the appropriate amount of fuel and possibly even different aircraft types more suitable for shorter range flight. By developing a novel computer model, this research aims at finding the answers to the following questions: What are the fuel consumption- and emission savings that can be attained by implementing this model on specific routes and with specific aircraft types? What are the route requirements to optimally benefit from operating flights with intermediate refueling stops? Which costs are directly linked to introducing refueling stops, what are the consequences and what can be done to reduce these costs? How does this concept influence the airport groundside operations and what is the impact on the airport infrastructure? The model consists of two independent programs which work in cohesion to find the optimal stopover airport for a specific route operated by a specific aircraft. The first program is the aircraft model, which is capable of calculating the fuel consumption on a specific mission. The calculations are based on the fundamentals of flight and the equations of motion. In total three aircraft types are incorporated and together cover short-, medium- and long range operations. The second program is the route model which is able to identify the costs for a specific segment and determines the optimal route by use of a modified version of the Dijkstra Algorithm and an airport database of ILS Cat. II/III equipped airports. This model computes a buffer zone in which to look for intermediate stop airports and selects the most advantageous option, based on local waiting times, landing- and navigation fees and fuel prices. The results show that on routes suitable for intermediate stop operations, the fuel reduction ranges from 5% - 10%. For the total cost reduction, these values are around 2% - 4% per flight. These figures strongly depend on the mission conditions and stopover position. Besides the fuel price and stopover time, the wind velocity and direction also have a vital role in the feasibility of the concept.

▼ Zambia, like most developing countries, relies heavily on woodfuel as the major source of energy for cooking and heating. Over two thirds of the country’s population either dwell in areas that are very far away from the national grid or have not been electrified for reasons ranging from lack of capacity by the service provider or lack of resources by part of that population to access the facility. Being a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol and a member of the United Nations (UN), Zambia has to find ways of reducing on the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the negative effects of excessive charcoal production and usage like deforestation and climate change, while ensuring that the UN initiative of providing ‘sustainable energy for all’(SE4ALL) is met.The Government of Zambia has realised this need and has embarked on a program to promote alternative energy sources which are not only affordable but also environmentally friendly and sustainable. Taking cross cutting issues such as gender into account, the government reviewed the 1994 National Energy Policy (NEP) to include emerging issues such as renewable energy. The government has since been trying to implement this policy through a number of actions such as encouraging investment in the sector, but has not produced the desired results of ensuring the adoption and sustained use of renewable energy technologies (RET’s) among the energy poor.The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge levels of the people living in peri-urban areas of the alternative energy sources available to them. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data among residents of one of Zambia’s peri-urban areas in Copperbelt Province. Interviews were also conducted among government officials to assess the appropriateness and effectiveness of government’s promotional strategies. A checklist was also used to assess the performance of previous attempts by government to promote RET’s and establish the reasons behind the success and/or failure of the different technologies.From the study, it was established that attempts at promoting renewable energy technologies by the government and other development promoters have not yielded the desired results. Apart from not having the resources to access the widely promoted Solar and Wind energy sources, people in peri-urban areas are either unaware of the availability of other RET’s (their existence and how they work) or the policies enabling their accessibility to the public. The study demonstrates that empowered with adequate information, the energy poor sector of society are ready to try out alternative energy sources if they will prove to be more affordable and available as they are aware that charcoal is not only becoming scarce but also expensive.

▼ The rapid growth in commercial air transportation and the volatility of fuel price push for fuel reduction policy to be implemented. Some changes in technology (e.g., improved aircraft design or engine), operations (e.g., improved flight routes), or both have showed promising results on fuel reduction in air transportation. While there are some existing fuel burn evaluation models, some of them are computationally expensive or built based on data that might be outdated; and some others suffer from the lack of accuracy due to simplification assumptions and computations. This might impose limitations in the aforementioned policy analysis, in particular when we need to predict future projections for different scenarios. As such, I develop a fast, efficient, and yet accurate fuel burn evaluation model by combining low-fidelity physics-based model with BADA trajectory simulation results. In particular, I derive correction factors based on the simulation data and incorporate them in the modeling, to achieve a higher accuracy that would not have been possible with the low-fidelity physics-based models alone. In this thesis, a fuel burn database corresponding to 40 aircraft types is generated based on the Bureau of Transportation Statistic (BTS) flight missions database from the year of 2015. A sample-based surrogate model is then derived for each aircraft type. The verification and validation results show that the model can estimate the total aggregate fuel burn for each aircraft type with less than 1% prediction errors using flight missions data from 2016, and less than 6% prediction errors when compared with the actual fuel burn data corresponding to three commercial airliners in 2015 and 2016. The developed models are then used to investigate the two common simplifying assumptions in fuel burn evaluation, namely the cruise-only approximation and the similar aircraft type mapping. The results provide insight into the inaccuracies caused by these simplifications in fuel burn computation. The developed models would open doors to performing more computationally intensive analyses, such as sensitivity analyses, uncertainty analyses, and optimization.

South Africa possesses an abundance of solar energy resources that can be used to provide various energy services. The multiple fuel use model is evident in urban informal households and the fuel types and energy carriers that are most commonly used by these households are electricity, paraffin, gas, and firewood, which causes environmental destruction, morbidity, and adverse socio-economic conditions, and stifle economic development. The financial expenditure on fuel and energy carriers is exorbitant, because the majority of people that live in informal households have low paying jobs or are unemployed. The study aims to enhance our understanding of the transformation of the energy infrastructure that urban informal households use for various energy services. The objectives of this study were to identify the fuel types and energy carriers that urban informal households commonly used for lighting, cooking, space heating, water heating and operating household appliances as well as to identify the roles of stakeholders that might increase the uptake of distributed renewable energy technology on a local level by urban informal households. This research provides consumption patterns that inform potential energy infrastructure transitions. The findings suggest that electricity, paraffin, wood fuel and gas are most commonly used for energy services in urban informal households. There is an awareness amongst most stakeholders about the benefits of distributed renewable energy technologies but the deployment and education campaigns around these technologies are disjointed. The regional innovative system approach to socio-technical transition could be used to deploy distributed renewable energy technologies to urban informal households in South Africa.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Suid-Afrika beskik oor ŉ groot hoeveelheid sonenergie-hulpbronne wat gebruik kan word om verskeie energiedienste te verskaf. Die veelvuldigebrandstofgebruik-model is sigbaar in stedelike informele huishoudings en die soorte brandstof en energiedraers wat die algemeenste deur hierdie huishoudings gebruik word, is elektrisiteit, paraffien, gas en brandhout, wat vernietiging van die omgewing, morbiditeit en negatiewe sosio-ekonomiese toestande tot gevolg het en ekonomiese ontwikkeling onderdruk. Die finansiele uitgawes aan brandstof en energiedraers is buitensporig, aangesien die meerderheid mense wat in informele huishoudings woon ŉ lae inkomste verdien of werkloos is. Die doel van die studie was om begrip te bevorder van die transformasie van die energie-infrastruktuur wat deur stedelike informele huishoudings vir verskillende energiedienste gebruik word. Die doelstellings van die studie was om die soorte brandstof en energiedraers te identifiseer wat in die algemeen deur stedelike informele huishoudings vir verligting, kook, ruimteverhitting, waterverhitting en gebruik van huishoudelike toestelle gebruik word, asook om die rolle van belanghebbendes wat die gebruik van verspreide hernubare energietegnologie op ŉ plaaslike vlak deur stedelike informele…

▼ The HERS VOCs fuel consumption models use dates and are based on an unrepresentative database of the vehicle fleet and technologies currently used in the U.S. Thus the models were updates through several steps. First, driving cycles were developed that represent the driving population and behavior in addition to representing the different road characteristics and the vehicle fleets driven nowadays on U.S roads. SHRP2 NDS complemented with SHRP RID and ATRI data were used to fulfill this task, forty four hundred (4,400) NDS trips collected at six (6) sites including around 12,500,000-seconds of truck data were used for the development of synthetically optimized (SO) driving cycles for different vehicle types, traffic conditions, and road properties for different highway types. A representative vehicle simulation was developed on thirty (30) different vehicle dynamics models representing a range of vehicles, technologies, and fuel types were developed and verified. Each, vehicle model was then simulated over the developed driving cycles and respective highway grades (upslope and downslope) to predict fuel economy for different scenarios of full access control and partial or no access control facilities. The results were processed by segmenting the driving cycles to obtain additional fuel economy data as a function of average vehicle speed (AS) and introducing average speed steady state fuel economy allowing extrapolation to higher speeds. The impact of the parameters used for developing the SO driving cycles was studied and used to exclude the non-significant parameters from the driving cycles development. Thus, additional SO driving cycles were added to fill the absent highway scenarios that were missed by the originally developed SO driving cycles. Multi-variable non-linear power-polynomial prediction models were fitted to the data, to estimate fuel economy for different scenarios of full access control (FAC) and partial or no access control (PNAC) facilities at different grades (upslope and downslope), averages speeds, speed limits and intersections densities for straight smooth roads. These prediction models were verified using NDS trip data. The effect of curvature on fuel economy was further investigated with the vehicle simulation data showing an interaction effect for curvature and grade level on fuel economy. Reduction in fuel economy due to road curvature (RFEC) prediction models were developed for each grade level A through F (separately for upslope and downslope) as a function of AS, vehicle type, and highway type (FAC and PNAC). The developed RFEC models were verified for FAC and PNAC highways against FE of respective simulated trip data. Advisors/Committee Members: Hand, Adam J.T. (advisor), Hajj, Elie Y.

▼ The effectiveness of fire management tactics and safety of firefighters strongly depend on the reliability of fire behaviour predictions that is currently limited by a lack of understanding of the flammability of live fuel. Until now fire modeling has been primarily based on the flammability of dead fuel using the assumption that combustion of the live fuel has a very limited effect on fire behaviour. However, the analysis of the existing data revealed that live fuel constituted from 48% to 60% of fuel consumed during the passage of a flame-front, meaning that live fuel plays a significant role in determining frontal fire intensity and fire behaviour. Introducing a new definition of flammability and a test method for flammability assessment, this study identifies how and to what extent live fuel and its properties may affect frontal flame intensity. By evaluating flammability directly in a flame, the proposed oxygen consumption calorimetry method better represents the high-intensity combined radiative and convective heat transfer prior to ignition as well as the conditions of oxygen deficiency and high concentrations of water vapor within the flame-front. The flammability of live fuel consumed within the flame-front was defined as energy release contribution to the frontal flame and represented the energy-generation component of the energy balance of the flame-front rather than just an energy content of separate fuel elements. The flammability was measured as the change in energy release from the flame resulting from interaction with live fuel during average flame-front residence time. Assessing the flammability of fresh shoots rather than just foliage allowed for better representation of the live plant material consumed in the flame-front. Live fuel flammability range, factors, and seasonal trend were investigated on a tree branch scale and a new high-resolution volume measuring technique was also introduced. The variation in live fuel flammability for white spruce was more than twice that measured using existing techniques suggesting that the actual changes in live fuel flammability have been underestimated by current fire modelling systems. Measured negative values of flammability for new shoots in the beginning of the season indicated a reduction in the energy release of the combined system of live fuel and frontal flame assumed to result from the high water content of live fuel and oxygen deficiency. Dry matter content and variables characterizing chemical composition of the fuel were replaced by a newly-introduced variable – energy content per unit of fresh mass or volume. Using the gravimetric approach, the energy content did not improve the prediction of flammability; however, when using the volumetric approach, variation in flammability was better explained by energy content than by water content. The proposed volumetric multivariable flammability model (adjusted R² = 0.87) was able to better predict flammability compared with the volumetric single-variable models (adjusted R² = 0.79). The Canadian Fire…

D. Phil. (Energy Studies)

Quantifying energy consumed and emissions produced by transport is essential for effective policy formulation and urban environmental management. Current first-world methods for determining vehicle emissions factors are technology and resource intensive, and results cannot be applied directly to cities in other parts of the world. There is a need for alternative cost-effective and accurate methods for determining real-world fuel consumption and emissions from vehicles in cities of the developing world. In this thesis, a new emissions simulation and inventory model is developed and implemented as a software tool. A novel application of low cost on-board diagnostics equipment and Global Positioning System sensors is devised to survey engine-operating parameters, driving conditions and vehicle usage profiles needed by the model. An emissions inventory is produced for the City of Johannesburg using the software tool and surveying method to demonstrate the overall process. The core contribution of this thesis is the logical development of data structures and software tools which link base engine-operating patterns (of engine speed and engine load), derived from the literature, to measured engine-operating patterns and vehicle activity from real-world driving. A range of real-world driving cycles and emission factors published by the Swiss Institute of Materials Science and Technology are transformed to produce the base engine-operating patterns and their corresponding emissions factors. The calculation of emission factors for real-world driving involves matching measured engineoperating patterns to combinations of the base engine-operating patterns using numerical methods. The method is validated using a cross validation technique. The emissions inventory application integrates measured engine-operating patterns, vehicle activity, fleet structure, fuel sales and the emissions simulation procedure to calculate total emissions. Fuel consumption and emissions of interest are CO2, CO, HC, NOx. Measurements of engine operating parameters and vehicle usage patterns were recorded for 30 privately owned passenger vehicles from the Johannesburg fleet. The selection included Euro-0 (a mixture of pre Euro-1 vehicles), Euro-2 and Euro-3 petrol vehicles, and Euro-2 diesel private passenger vehicles. Fifteen billion vehicle kilometres were driven in Johannesburg by private passenger vehicles per year consuming 325 million litres of diesel and 1 524 billion litres of petrol. iv Total emissions were estimated to be 4.13 Mt CO2, 82.77 kt CO, 9.15 kt HC, and 24.49 kt NOx. Between 88 and 93% of the total emissions were from vehicles which fall into the Euro-0 petrol category. Diesel vehicles did not make a significant contribution to CO and HC emissions but contributed 14% of the NOx and 19% of the CO2 emissions. During weekdays, 28 to 31% and 25 to 27% of the total fuel consumption and emissions were due to the morning commute and the evening commute periods respectively. Although minibus taxis, buses, freight…

▼ The aerospace industry has always been looking forward new developments with the aim to create more environmental friendly aircraft, as well as to improve their performance. Over the last few years, a prominent research topic to achieve these challenging goals has been focussed on the incorporation of more electric Secondary Power Systems (SPS), this concept is known as More Electric Aircraft (MEA) or All Electric Aircraft (AEA) when the internal combustion engine is also replaced. Among others, Airbus is using Electro-hydrostatic Actuators, (EHAs) to combine hydraulic and electric power in A320 and A340 for flight tests since 1993. The company TTTECH applied the same concept by working on the development of an electrical steering system for an aircraft nose landing gear, and power source rationalization and electrical power flexibility in aircraft. Some of the advantages stated when the MEA concept is applied are: reduction in aircraft weight and performance penalties related to conventional SPS. Although the More/All electric aircraft concept provided satisfactory results for fixed-wing aircraft, research for rotary-wing aircraft is less common. This encourages the assessment of fuel consumption and performance penalties due to conventional and more electric SPS at conceptual level, which could achieve similar outcomes, while finding the best configuration possible. This project takes into account the previous research focused on fixed-wing aircraft and studies on new technologies for SPS within Cranfield University, this includes electrical Ice Protection System (IPS), Environmental Control System (ECS) and Actuation System (AS). Additionally, Fuel System (FS) and Electrical System (ES) capabilities were added, developing a generic tool able to predict the total power requirements depending on the flight conditions. This generic tool was then integrated with a performance model, where overall fuel consumption is calculated for a flight mission, giving continuity and improvement to the work already done. Secondary systems configuration and operating characteristics for a representative light single-engine rotary-wing aircraft were tailored, and the systems behaviour is presented. Finally, fuel consumption was calculated for a baseline mission profile, and compared to the fuel consumption when the systems are not included. The baseline mission set the initial flight conditions from which a parametric study was carried out; by varying these conditions the parametric study determined total fuel requirements for the analysed flight segments. An increment of up to %1.9 in the fuel consumption was found by integrating the proposed systems to the performance model, showing the impact produced by the systems, and the importance of studying different technologies to minimise it.

The aim of platooning is to enable several vehicles to drive in a convoy while each vehicle is controlled autonomously in longitudinal direction. All vehicles in the platoon are equipped with WiFi and can therefore apply Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication. As a result, a short intermediate distance between the vehicles can be maintained. Reduction of the aerodynamic drag is the result of the short distance, which in turn, reduces the consumed fuel. This thesis is a part of a larger project, consisting of two other theses that investigate estimation of the sensor data. Other scenarios that may arise with the platooning concept, e.g. packet losses and time synchronization of the different sensors are also analyzed. The purpose of this master thesis is to develop and evaluate a Model Predictive Control (MPC) in the concept of platooning. The main focus lies on implementation of two types of MPC, centralized and distributed, and later on integration with the other two subsystems is performed. Results from the MPC itself are evaluated, principally in terms of fuel con- sumption and computational demand. The major part of the results are based on the complete system as one unit and covers different test scenarios such as WiFi loss and non-transmitting vehicle entering the platoon. A comparison of how much energy that is consumed by the engine between an HDV driving with its cruise control and an HDV driving in a platoon has been performed. With an intermediate distance of 10 meters, driving with varying velocity and ideal signals the energy consumption got reduced with an average of 11%.

peer-reviewed

The valorisation of readily available and abundant lignocellulosic derived hexose carbohydrates by reaction with ethanol can provide an alternative to petroleum derived fossil fuels. The main barrier in effectively doing so is the lack of mechanistic knowledge regarding the reaction pathways linking the hexose sugar to the intended fuel component. In pursuit of the chemical mechanisms responsible for the hydrolysis of; D-fructose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose to levulinic acid in aqueous systems using 2.5 wt% H2SO4 at 423 K is deciphered upon. The mechanistic comprehension gained is used as constraints to evaluate the more complex ethanolysis (ethanol/H2SO4/hexose) system. It is also comprehensively shown that formic and levulinic acids are not formed stoichiometrically from lignocellulosic derived hexoses, as is widely believed in the literature. At steady-state conversions of the reactant, the formic and levulinic acid ratio for D-fructose, D-glucose, D-mannose and D-galactose is shown to be 1.08 ±0.04, 1.15 ±0.05, 1.20 ±0.10 and 1.19 ±0.04 respectively. Next, the ethanolysis process is introduced as a superior alternative to the aqueous hydrolysis systems. Two advantaged fuel components 5-ethoxymethylfurfural and ethyl levulinate are identified and numerical modelling is utilised to test the feasibility of carefully designed mechanistic propositions at 351 K catalysed by hydrogen cations. It is shown that the hydrogen cation is consumed by reaction with ethanol and that the overall system is ‘‘pseudo’’ catalytic. Condensed phase conditions (331-351 K) are deemed more suitable for the formation of 5-ethoxymethylfurfural, whilst biphasic conditions (>353 K) favours the formation of ethyl levulinate. A kinetic model is developed for the ethanolysis of D-fructose to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (331-351 K), which includes kinetic contraints derived from conducting reactions with all key chemical intermediates in the system. The reaction mechanism for the ethanolysis of D-glucose to ethyl levulinate (351-423 K) catalysed by H2SO4 (0.015-0.075) mol/L is deciphered upon, with no significant amounts of ethyl levulinate formed below 393 K. Significantly the main reaction flux for ethyl levulinate formation from D-glucose does not advance through any furan intermediates as it does in the D-fructose ethanolysis mechanism, which is not the proposed pathway in the literature. Finally, the fuel properties of the range of fuel molecules produced in ethanolysis systems are presented. It is shown that by integrating mechanistic understanding, kinetic parameters and fuel properties of the synthesized molecules, drop-in tailor-made fuel additives can be synthesized in a highly flexible “one-pot” process designed for specific purposes be it for ‘‘diesel’’ or ‘‘gasoline’’ fuels.

▼ Researchers continue to seek numerous techniques for making the transportation sector more sustainable in terms of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Among the most effective techniques is Eco-driving at signalized intersections. Eco-driving is a complex control problem where drivers approaching the intersections are guided, over a period of time, to optimize fuel consumption. Eco-driving control systems reduce fuel consumption by optimizing vehicle trajectories near signalized intersections based on information of the SpaT (Signal Phase and Timing). Developing Eco-driving applications for semi-actuated signals, unlike pre-timed, is more challenging due to variations in cycle length resulting from fluctuations in traffic demand. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a machine learning paradigm that mimics the human learning behavior where an agent attempts to solve a given control problem by interacting with the environment and developing an optimal policy. Unlike the methods implemented in previous studies for solving the Eco-driving problem, RL does not necessitate prior knowledge of the environment being learned and processed. Therefore, the aim of this study is twofold: (1) Develop a novel brute force Eco-driving algorithm (ECO-SEMI-Q) for CAV (Connected/Autonomous Vehicles) passing through semi-actuated signalized intersections; and (2) Develop a novel Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) Eco-driving algorithm for CAV passing through fixed-time signalized intersections. The developed algorithms are tested at both microscopic and macroscopic levels. For the microscopic level, results indicate that the fuel consumption for vehicles controlled by the ECO-SEMI-Q and DRL models is 29.2% and 23% less than that for the case with no control, respectively. For the macroscopic level, a sensitivity analysis for the impact of MPR (Market Penetration Rate) shows that the savings in fuel consumption increase with higher MPR. Furthermore, when MPR is greater than 50%, the ECO-SEMI-Q algorithm provides appreciable savings in travel times. The sensitivity analysis indicates savings in the network fuel consumption when the MPR of the DRL algorithm is higher than 35%. At MPR less than 35%, the DRL algorithm has an adverse impact on fuel consumption due to aggressive lane change and passing maneuvers. These reductions in fuel consumption demonstrate the ability of the algorithms to provide more environmentally sustainable signalized intersections.
