Prof. Lino Guzzella, Professor of Thermotronics, ETH Zürich Bio : Lino Guzzella was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1957. He received the diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 1981 and the Dr. sc. techn. degree in control engineering in 1986 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich. From 1987 to 1989 he was with the R&D department of Sulzer Bros. in Winterthur, Switzerland. From 1989 to 1991 he was an assistant professor for automatic control in the electrical engineering department of ETH. He then joined Hilti R&D, Liechtenstein where he was the head of the mechatronics department from 1992 to 1993. He is currently professor for thermotronics in the mechanical engineering department of ETH. His research interests are modeling of dynamic systems, nonlinear and robust control and applications of these ideas to thermal and especially automotive systems.

Abstract : Automobiles offer many great benefits, but cause several problems, notably the emission of carbon dioxide and the consumption of primary energy resources. Particularly hybrid-electric power trains offer interesting opportunities for improving the fuel economy of automobiles. First, simple yet useful scalable models of hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) are introduced in this talk. These models are a prerequisite for a model-based optimization of the topology, the parameters, and the energy management of HEV. Then, useful tools and methodologies are shown that permit fast optimizations of HEVs over large search spaces. Finally, some examples of HEV on which our group has worked over the past ten years are presented.
