  1. 6. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.

  3. 7. Towards Water Resource Recovery Facilities : Environmentally Extended Techno-Economic Assessment of Emerging Sewage Sludge Management Technologies in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Harry Tibbetts; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular Economy; Waste Valorisation; Systems Analysis; LCA; MFA; EFA; TEA; Hydrothermal Carbonisation; Cirkulär ekonomi; Waste Valorisation; Systems Analysis; LCA; MFA; EFA; TEA; Hydrotermal Carbonization;

    Abstract : Municipal sewage sludge (MSS) management varies widely between countries and legislative regimes. Within the European directive for sewage treatment France applies over half of MSS to arable land, while The Netherlands has banned the practice (Kelessidis et al, 2012). READ MORE

  4. 8. Exploration and Evaluation of RNN Models on Low-Resource Embedded Devices for Human Activity Recognition

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik och inbyggda styrsystem

    Author : Helgi Hrafn Björnsson; Jón Kaldal; [2023]
    Keywords : Recurrent Neural Networks; Long Short-Term Memory Networks; Embedded Systems; Human Activity Recognition; Edge AI; TensorFlow Lite Micro; Recurrent Neural Networks; Long Short-Term Memory Networks; Innbyggda systyem; Mänsklig aktivitetsigenkänning; Edge AI; TensorFlow Lite Micro;

    Abstract : Human activity data is typically represented as time series data, and RNNs, often with LSTM cells, are commonly used for recognition in this field. However, RNNs and LSTM-RNNs are often too resource-intensive for real-time applications on resource constrained devices, making them unsuitable. READ MORE

  5. 9. Klimatutsläpp från Region Uppsalas solcellsanläggningar ur ett livscykelperspektiv

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Bianca Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : livscykelanalys; energiplanering; solceller; jämförelse av solcellstekniker; klimatutsläpp; solcellspark;

    Abstract : Solceller är en del av en ny teknik för att kunna producera förnyelsebar energi som kan ersätta dagens fossila energikällor. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur stora klimatutsläppen blir för de olika solcellsanläggningarna i Region Uppsala ur ett livscykelperspektiv, samt vilka faktorer som påverkar utsläppen.

  6. 10. Fuel Transition for Gas Turbines : In a Changing European Energy Landscape

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Lovisa Langerak; [2023]
    Keywords : energy technology; gas turbine; energy transition; Europe; green fuels; hydrogen; ammonia; biofuels; energiteknik; gasturbin; energiomställning; Europa; gröna bränslen; vätgas; ammoniak; biobränslen;

    Abstract : The transition to renewable energy sources is vital to mitigate global warming and achieve the climate targets set by the EU. The availability of natural gas in Europe is challenged due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, leading to a shift towards fossil-free alternatives. READ MORE
