A new polygeneration application with renewable energy sources will be planned and demonstrated for the fishery industry. The distributed energy system utilizes cleaning waste of a fish processing plant to produce biodiesel. The biodiesel is used to produce the locally needed cooling/freezing and heating energy. In addition, a power surplus is generated for the electricity network or local industrial use. The research contribution focuses on optimisation, simulation, validation and planning of piloted concepts. A energy integration auditing and optimisation tools will be developed to carry out feasibility studies for the fishery industry. The advanced CO2 based freezing/cooling system requires optimization and control system planning of special high-pressure equipments. The final biodiesel will be tested in appropriate engines. With a view to marketing possibilities the demonstration will take place in Vietnam. In the demonstration case, the main product of the fish processing plant is catfish filet (about 40 t/d). The fat content of 22 per cent in the fish cleaning waste results in a production of biodiesel of about 13 t/d. A part of biodiesel is used to produce electricity for the locally needed cooling/freezing (0.3 MW) and heating (1,3 MW) energy. In addition, a power surplus (0,8 MW) is generated for the local industrial use.

In Osnabrück, Germany, Herhof Recyclingcenter Osnabrueck GmbH (HRO) operates, under patented technology (biological drying), a 90.000 tons/a Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) recycling plant, where appr. 50% of incoming MSW (45.000 tons/a) is converted into a secondary fuel (marketed under the name Stabilat), currently used in cement plants. A portion of Stabilat (appr. 300 kg/h) will be converted to electricity and heat in a novel gasification plant. The producer gas (LCV≈ 5 MJ/Nm3) will be cleaned in a novel scrubbing process and combusted in a 0.25 MW gas engine. The electricity produced will be fed in the Grid, while waste heat can be utilised in the recycling plant. The off-gases and the liquid effluents (tars and oxygenates) will be guided to the recycling plant waste treatmen systems, while the inert ash will be incorporated in the residues resulting from the operation of the recycling plant. The integrated facility (MSW recycling and energy exploitation of Stabilat) will provide a sustainable solution for the treatment of MSW and will generate renewable energy, and a high quality fuel while safeguarding the environment and the public health. This innovative integration of state-of-the-art technologies has a large potential for duplication in the EU and beyond, achieving the disposal not only of the MSW but also of the resulting by-product streams (such as RDF or SRF fuels). Moreover, the proposed project addresses several EU policies related to renewable energies, energy efficiency, environmental protection, recycling of MSW, etc. Moreover, the coupling of the MSW recycling and the subsequent energy exloitation of by-products streams to electricity and heat will result in significant economies of scale. This, in turn, will result in positive synergistic effects (lower emissions of pollutants, elimination of the need to transport secondary fuels over long distances, reduced capital and operating costs and increased competitiveness).

The SOLUGAS project consists in the demonstration of a solar-hybrid power system with direct solar heating of a gas turbine’s pressurized air. In combination with highly efficient combined cycle systems or in cogeneration applications significant cost reductions for solar electric power generation can be achieved. The demonstration project will be the first commercial-scale system that can later be offered to customers in several configurations (combined cycle, cogeneration, etc). The project will prove the technological feasibility, performance and cost reduction potential of such power plants. A complete solar-hybrid gas turbine demonstration system will be designed and erected in the project. Major new developments include a tube receiver and a solar-adapted commercial gas turbine. The solar concentrator field and tower are laid out and built. Software tools will be used and extended to allow simulation of the components and system performance. The tools will be verified by comparing performance predictions with measured data. Later the tools will be applied to allow predictions for other commercial systems. This project will reduce the water consumption of CSP power plants and land usage by increasing the efficiency, this will reduce the investment and O&M costs and improve the enviromental profile of CSP power plants. This kind of improvements are necessary to make CSP systems more competitive with conventional electricity sources and other renewable

RENAISSANCE aims to develop a valid, reliable and integrated package of access and mobility measures for historic cities. These will make possible the rediscovery, preservation and enhancement of historic cities in Europe, together with the sustainable development of the local economy, to the benefit of visitors, residents and local business alike. RENAISSANCE brings together a group of historic/tourism cities across Europe that are in the vanguard of sustainable development. The RENAISSANCE cities have a strong reliance on heritage and tourism, which must marry environmental concerns, and sustainable access and mobility, with economic development. The partners face common problems: they are all historic cities with common layouts, and very valuable heritage to be preserved and enhanced. The partners also face unique local and regional challenges, including those brought about by social and economic integration within the EU. There is great added value in RENAISSANCE because the best practices that will be demonstrated will have resonance and relevance throughout the range of European Historic Cities.

In the paper "Measure of chaos and a spectral decomposition of dynamical systems of interval" (which extends Li and Yorke approach stated in their famous paper "Period three implies chaos") Schweizer and Smital introduced the definition of distributional chaos. Scientific aim of this project is to study distributional chaos and its relations to other notions known from Topological Dynamics. Main problems we will cosider are the following: - how ''large'' distributionally scrambled sets can be form topological, measure theoretic or dimension theory point of view? - what are sufficient conditions (topological mixing, specification property, topological exactness, shadowing) to ensure distributional scrambled sets being uncountable, perfect, invariant, etc. ? - what are condition not strong enough to imply distributional chaos in general case (e.g. it is known that positive topological entropy or weak mixing belongs to this class)? - are there any other spaces (graphs, dendrites, low-dimensional continua) which guarantee equivalent conditions from Schwaizer and Smital paper to hold (it is known that there is no equivalence in general, in particular in dimension two or zero)? Additionally, we will study shift spaces and their generalizations for a better understanding of the notion of ''complexity'' in the theory of dynamical systems. The research undertaken in this project aims to extend knowledge about chaotic phenomena in dynamical systems. The main aim of the project is to extend knowledge and research experience of the researcher to the level that he is able to prepare his habilitation thesis. The researcher will present obtained results at international meetings. He will extend his scientific collaborations and start new independent lines of research in his career.

The objective of this proposal is to delay the transition to turbulence in pipe flow. The important motivation of reducing drag in fluid flows, and therefore to reduce the energy consumption required to drive them, has lead to significant breakthroughs in the study of flow control. Only last year for the case of flow over a flat plate, turbulence was successfully delayed in experiment by using small controlled streaky disturbances to suppress the development of more unstable disturbances downstream. Key factors enabling this progress have been a recognition of the sensitivity of strongly sheared flows to disturbances caused by streamwise rolls, and the improvement of stability associated with modifications to the underlying mean flow. Simultaneously in pipe flow, the discovery of exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations has driven a surge of interest in transitional turbulence. These travelling wave solutions are believed to form a separatrix between laminar and turbulent states. Together these developments form a framework about which to design a strategy to delay turbulence in pipe flow, by systematic analysis of the stability of disturbances in the presence of controlled streaky flows.

Floods are among the most effective geomorphic force featuring the landscape, and also one of the most hazardous natural phenomena. The timing of flood events has a major impact on fluvial morphodynamics, river management and flood protection planning, especially under a perspective of climate change, i.e. long drought periods followed by flashy intense floods. However, the effects of different sequences of events in terms of duration and magnitude – the so-called flood history – on sediment entrainment and transport are still poorly understood, thereby limiting the accuracy of predicting fluvial adjustments and the associated flood hazards. This proposal addresses the hypothesis that the condition and structure of the river bed fluctuates with flood history in a manner that can be predicted. The overall objective of the research is to quantify the influence of flood history on the mobility and transport rate of mixed sand-gravel river beds, by means of laboratory experiments. The aim is to investigate the process by which the flow field (e.g. turbulence) and the bed structure (roughness and grain exposure/protrusion) interact as a response to an imposed flood history. Multiple flood sequences will be simulated in a recirculating flume facility complemented by a state-of-the-art suite of monitoring equipment. The instrumentation will enable an integrated, high-resolution detection of both temporal and spatial dynamics of fluid flow (PIV and ADV techniques), sediment flux (bedload traps and image analysis), and bed topography adjustment (laser scanner). Once the physical processes at play will be understood, new empirical models will be developed to make incipient sediment motion and bedload rate prediction more accurate of the ones now available, being capable of including flood history effects. In order to explore how bed sediment mixture influences the flood history effects, the experiments will involve three gravel mixtures having varying proportion of sand.
