  1. 1. Risk Implications of Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Implementations: the Case of the Nordics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Denis Mijolović; [2023]
    Keywords : Small Modular Nuclear Reactors; Nuclear Energy; Energy Policy; Energy Transition; Risk Management; Scandinavian Energy Strategy;

    Abstract : Climate change is no novelty – we witness its disastrous impact more and more by each day. Although we already started envisaging a future where the vitality of our societies is derived not from conventional fossil fuels, but from a sophisticated, clean, and steadfast energy source – the latest benchmarks tracked by leading global energy agencies show grim performance, thereby calling for an intervention.

  2. 2. 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. 3. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

  4. 4. Redeveloping a mixing system in a biomedical device to improve system control and increase its intelligence and effectiveness : Redeveloping a mixing mechanism using ESP32, TMC5130, Bluetooth and CAN-bus

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Aref Bahtiti; [2023]
    Keywords : CAN-bus; Bluetooth classic; Stepper motor; TMC5130; ESP32; Open loop system; Smartphone application;

    Abstract : Biogas is a renewable energy source produced by decomposing organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Without oxygen, organic matter is broken down in this process, producing a mixture of gases that may be used for a variety of tasks, such as heating, cooking, and producing power. READ MORE

  5. 5. Chemical Kinetic Modeling of the Combustion of NH3/H2 and NH3/syngas Fuel Mixtures Using a Large Amount of Experimental Data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Andras Szanthoffer; [2022]
    Keywords : Ammonia combustion; Detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms; Quantitative mechanism comparison; Local sensitivity analysis; Chemical Physics; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Nowadays, due to the global climate change, it is extremely important to find alternative fuels to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels and the emission of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon pollutants, and soot. Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon free fuel candidate that can store and transport renewable hydrogen (H2) energy. READ MORE
