DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lino Guzzella\, Professor of Thermotronics\, ETH Zürich
 \nBio : Lino Guzzella was born in Zurich\, Switzerland in 1957. He receive
 d the diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 1981 and the Dr. sc. techn. deg
 ree in control engineering in 1986 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Tec
 hnology (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 E
 TH. His research interests are modeling of dynamic systems\, nonlinear and
  robust control and applications of these ideas to thermal and especially 
 automotive systems. A complete CV and a list of publications can be found 
 at : http://www.idsc.ethz.ch/\nAbstract : Automobiles offer many great ben
 efits\, but cause several problems\, notably the emission of carbon dioxid
 e and the consumption of primary energy resources. Particularly hybrid-ele
 ctric power trains offer interesting opportunities for improving the fuel 
 economy of automobiles. First\, simple yet useful scalable models of hybri
 d-electric vehicles (HEV) are introduced in this talk. These models are a 
 prerequisite for a model-based optimization of the topology\, the paramete
 rs\, and the energy management of HEV. Then\, useful tools and methodologi
 es are shown that permit fast optimizations of HEVs over large search spac
 es. Finally\, some examples of HEV on which our group has worked over the 
 past ten years are presented.
