Ερευνητικά ενδιαφέροντα EEΘ
- Εκπομπές ρύπων και τεχνολογίες αντιρρύπανσης οχημάτων. Το ΕΕΘ διαθέτει 20ετή εμπειρία στην περιοχή των εκπομπών ρύπων και των τεχνολογιών αντιρρύπανσης οχημάτων. Η εμπειρία αυτή αποκτήθηκε με τη βοήθεια στενών συνεργασιών με την ευρύτερη βιομηχανία αυτοκινήτων, καυσίμων και συστημάτων αντιρρύπανσης. Σήμερα, το ΕΕΘ διεξάγει βασική και εφαρμοσμένη έρευνα υψηλής στάθμης με τη συνδυασμένη χρήση εργαστηριακών και υπολογιστικών τεχνικών. Ο εργαστηριακός εξοπλισμός ανανεώνεται τακτικά, ώστε να υποστηρίζει εξειδικευμένες μετρήσεις υψηλής ακρίβειας για τις αέριες και σωματιδιακές εκπομπές ρύπων από κινητήρες και οχήματα. Οι μετρήσεις μπορούν να διεξαχθούνι σύμφωνα με τις νομοθετημένες τυποποιημένες διαδικασίες. Σε ειδικές περιπτώσεις, σχεδιάζονται και εφαρμόζονται εξειδικευμένα μετρητικά προτόκολλα που εξυπηρετούν συγκεκριμένους ερευνητικούς σκοπούς. Οι υπολογιστικές τεχνικές στηρίζονται σε μαθηματικά μοντέλα προσομοίωσης των φυσικο-χημικών φαινομένων στα συστήματα εξαγωγής των κινητήρων. Τα μαθηματικά αυτά μοντέλα έχουν αναπτυχθεί στο ΕΕΘ και έχουν τύχει διεθνούς αναγνώρισης τόσο στη βιβλιογραφία, όσο και μέσω της χρήσης τους από τη βιομηχανία. Παράλληλα, είναι διαθέσιμο και εμπορικό λογισμικό για την προσομοίωση ρευστομηχανικών και θερμοδυναμικών φαινομένων στον κινητήρα και στις συσκευές αντιρρύπανσης.
- Καταγραφή και πρόβλεψη εκπομπών ρύπων. Το ΕΕΘ είναι υπεύθυνο για την ανάπτυξη και την υποστήριξη του λογισμικού “COPERT” για λογαριασμό της Ευρωπαϊκής Υπηρεσίας Περιβάλλοντος. Το λογισμικό αυτό είναι το επίσημο εργαλείο για την απογραφή και την εκτίμηση ρύπων από την οδική κυκλοφορία και χρησιμοποιείται σε εθνικό επίπεδο από τις περισσότερες Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες. Η μεθοδολογία που αναπτύχθηκε εφαρμόστηκε σε σειρά εκτιμήσεων και προβλέψεων εκπομπών, όπως στο εργαλείο TRENDS της Eurostat και στο TREMOVE της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής ενώ έχει συμπεριληφθεί στο Ευρωπαϊκό Εγχειρίδιο Απογραφής Ατμοσφαιρικών Εκπομπών.
- Ανανεώσιμες Πηγές Ενέργειας. Το ΕΕΘ διεξάγει μελέτες για την εφαρμογή κυψελών καυσίμου σε σταθερές εγκαταστάσεις παραγωγής ενέργειας, με βελτιστοποίηση της χρήσης τους σε συνδυασμό με άλλες πηγές. Επίσης το Εργαστήριο ασχολείται με τη μαθηματική προσομοίωση και βελτιστοποίηση συστημάτων κυψελών καυσίμου για εφαρμογές σε οχήματα.

- Contribution to Software Develpoment
- COPERT. A program that aims at the calculation of air pollutant emissions from road transport. COPERT calculations are consistent with the “Detailed Methodology” of the EMEP/CORINAIR Atmospheric Emissions Inventory Guidebook, Methodology for the calculation of exhaust emissions – SNAPs 070100-070500, NFRs 1A3bi-iv. It is a highly appreciated software from the researchers of the field and has been extensively used in emission trends analysis, in regional and local scale air quality modeling, for regulatory impact assessments and human exposure modeling. Scopus gives more than 170 documents which cite COPERT (143 of them articles in journals and books).
- AXISUITE ®. A modular software for the simulation of exhaust aftertreatment devices and systems. The software has a broad range of applications in the development and optimization of exhaust systems, from investigating the effect of DPF shape on partial regeneraton performance, to optimizing urea injection strategy in a complicated exhaust system. AXISUITE is trusted by the leading OEMs, EAT suppliers and Universities around the globe.
