  1. 1. 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.

  2. 2. Hydrogeological and economic analysis of a groundwater-based water supply system in rural Nepal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Hamon Hedayatnasab; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a given standard and considered as basic human rights in urban areas and industrialized countries. However, 40 % of the world's population living in rural areas in developing countries lack access to safe drinking water. READ MORE

  3. 3. Contributing to carbon neutrality within water distribution services

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Nassim Dagher; [2021]
    Keywords : water distribution service; carbon footprint; GHG emissions; action plan; framework;

    Abstract : Water production and distribution services, just like all human activity, have an impact on the environment. One indicator of that impact is its carbon footprint, which corresponds to the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emitted due to that activity. In order to counter global warming, mankind must reduce the GHG emissions of its activities. READ MORE

    Abstract : To meet the aims of the Paris climate agreement, it is necessary to reduce energy use in buildings. Efficient HVAC systems are a critical part in achieving a low delivered energy use. READ MORE

  5. 5. Aqua Ammonia as Secondary Fluid in Ice Rink Applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Brianna Kilberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Ice rink; secondary fluid; aqua ammonia; ammonia water; thermophysical properties; corrosion; pressure drop; pumping power; refrigeration;

    Abstract : Refrigerant management is crucial in the attempts to slow climate change. Emissions from the refrigeration sector are primarily due to poor management and unsafe destruction of refrigerants currently in circulation. Safe refrigerant management and improving system operating efficiency can result in a reduction of emissions. READ MORE
