Title
Optimizing Energy System Performance Through Gas Flow Stability Simulation
Abstract
Hydrodynamics instability results from complex interactions between fluid forces and structural dynamics, giving rise to unpredictable flow patterns and dynamic fluctuations. This instability becomes a crucial factor in comprehending and optimizing the operations of various industrial technologies. This talk will provide an overview of how hydrodynamic instability can support maximizing the performance of renewable energy systems, a critical solution in the energy transition to cleaner and more effective power sources in Germany and globally.

Speaker 2: Amauri da Silva Junior (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology)
Title
Autonomous vehicle control development
Abstract
With the advancement of autonomous vehicle technology, it is essential to design controllers capable of handling evasive maneuvers to ensure the safety of both the vehicle and road users. This talk covers the comprehensive process of developing and implementing vehicle controllers specially designed for emergencies. We will talk about the main pillars for the development of autonomous vehicles, as well as the classification of active safety and passive safety. The importance of controllers for emergencies is highlighted in real-life situations. We will discuss how to design a controller from an idea to the point where the controller is tested in a vehicle. The main methods used for controllers are presented, as well as the controller developed in this project. We will discuss how to use classic controller models with the use of artificial intelligence, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. A short discussion on the importance and development of scaled vehicles is presented, as well as a comparison of simulation with real test results.
