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.

3. 2. Pre-study for SMR and Nuclear Establishment in Norway

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Johan Stefan Nordström; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy mapping; Nuclear power; SMR; small modular reactors; siting; Norway; Energy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. READ MORE

4. 3. Energy analysis between traditional hot water circulation system and an innovative pipe-in-pipe system

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Alejandro Abellán Guallarte; [2022]
   Keywords : Hot water circulation; pipe-in-pipe; energy saving; buildings; heat losses; warm water;

   Abstract : We are at a time when energy efficiency and the reduction in the use of non-renewable energy is an important objective in all aspects and will continue to be so, therefore it is necessary to try to reduce energy and heat losses in the systems used in homes and, in particular, in the domestic hot water (DHW) system. This study aims to find out the advantages and disadvantages of an innovative pipe-in-pipe (PIP) system for DHW circulation with respect to the conventional system of two separate pipes. READ MORE

5. 4. Comparative simulation of PVT designs for three locations in Europe with different simulation tools

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : María Teresa Rodríguez Rubio; [2022]
   Keywords : Agriculture; Energy; European Commission; Horizon 2020; Innovation Project; Livestock farms; Renewable Energy; RES4LIVE; Solar Energy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, different types of PVT (photovoltaic-thermal collectors) for three different farms in Europe will be studied, as part of the RES4LIVE project from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action programme. A suitable renewable energy system will be proposed for each farm, considering the temperature range requirement and the climate conditions in each farm. READ MORE

6. 5. Flow batteries - Impact on fire safety

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Ajay Menon; [2022]
   Keywords : Flow battery; Flow battery types; Flow battery risks; Firefighting; Fire risk analysis; Safety hazards in flow batteries; Fire risks in lithium-ion battery; Safety hazard in lithium-ion battery; Application of battery storage systems; Safety reports.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The need for sustainable renewable energy has been increasing due to the negative impact of non-renewable energy sources. With the unstable and sporadic nature of sustainable renewable energy, flow batteries show immense potential in mitigating these issues. READ MORE
