  1. 6. Experimental Testing of Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal Collectors for Low Temperature Heat Pump Integration

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

    Author : Jaakko Eskola; [2023]
    Keywords : Solar photovoltaic thermal; PVT; heat pump; thermal performance; ISO 9806:2017; Solhybrid; PVT; värmepump; termisk prestanda; ISO 9806:2017;

    Abstract : A hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector enables simultaneous electricity and heat production from a single solar module. Integrating PVT collectors with a ground source heat pump (GSHP) improves the seasonal performance of the heating system and prevents from temperature degradation of the ground. READ MORE

  3. 7. Parametric study of energy retrofit options for a historical building

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Khaled El Tayara; [2022]
    Keywords : Energy Retrofitting; Building Performance; Thermal Comfort; Shading; Building Orientation; Location; Low-E films; Solar Gains;

    Abstract : Retrofitting measures in old buildings aimed at reducing energy consumption has become a widespread subject and an urgent matter to counteract the effects of climate change and GHGs emissions. The globe has reaffirmed its agreement taken in COP21 to reduce emissions in COP26. READ MORE

  4. 8. Computational modelling of photosynthetic excitons coupled to a microcavity

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Ilmari Turunen; [2022]
    Keywords : Cavity QED; LH2; Chlorophyll; Exciton; Polariton; Transition dipole moment; Absorbance; Physics and Astronomy; Chemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) is a theory that is used for describing the interaction between matter and cavity modes. Not until relatively recently, cavity QED has been extended to the study of photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes (LHCs). READ MORE

  5. 9. Normalization of Cooling Demand in Buildings, development, and evaluation of methods

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

    Author : Xingtong Wu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Because of the increasing demand for indoor thermal comfort and the better insulation performance of building envelopes, cooling demand is an increasingly important part of building energy consumption despite the cold climate in Stockholm. Finding a way to normalize cooling demand to climatic conditions will help better energy audits to improve the building performance to achieve energy-saving. READ MORE

  6. 10. Techno-economic Optimization for Large-Scale Power-to-methane Systems : Techno-economic modeling, design and optimization of a large scale 2.0 TWh/y solar-to-methane plant concept in Australia

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Antoine Perdriel; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Industrialized societies are built on the limited, extraordinary dense form of energy that are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and gas, that became the core driver of the economic growth since the industrial revolution. While most emission pathways highlight the necessity to reach net zero emissions before 2050, there are numerous challenges to the displacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy systems (local conditions, intermittency, raw materials) and applications to the most polluting sectors such as transportation remain a major challenge.
