  1. 1. Decentralizing electricity generation in Cuba : Implementation of a microgrid in the sugar mil lCarlos Baliño

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

    Author : Aylin Berber; Cornelia Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Microgrid; renewable energy; bagasse; self-sufficiency; Microgrid; förnybar energi; bagass; självförsörjande;

    Abstract : Cuba has a long history of different dependencies and is a country facing many energy challenges, and therefore seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The purpose of this degree project is therefore to conceptualize a microgrid based on renewable energy sources for local energy sustainability at the lowest cost possible. READ MORE

  2. 2. Deep Neural Networks as SurrogateModels for Fuel Performance Codes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Wenhan Zhou; [2023]
    Keywords : Transuranus; AI; Nuclear Fuel Rods;

    Abstract : The core component of a nuclear power plant is the reactor and the fuel rods that supply it with fission fuel. Efficient and safe energy extraction is thus highly dependent on the reactor design and the conditions of the fuel rods. To anticipate high-quality operation and potential risks in advance, one must perform simulations on the fuel rods. READ MORE

  3. 3. The Promise of a Green Revolution : Conceptions of climate change and sustainability in local movements objecting to mining establishment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologi

    Author : Caroline Reinhammar; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study explores how vernacular understandings of climate change and sustainability are formed in relation to local disputes concerning mineral exploration. In a search for a solution to climate change, the interest in rare earth elements (REEs), and other metals used in green technology has resulted in granting mining companies processing concessions in Sweden.

  4. 4. Polymerization of isatin towards polymers for anion exchange membranes and gas separation applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simone Facchini; [2022]
    Keywords : organic chemistry; membranes; isatin; polymers; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In a world where the problem of energy resources, pollution and all aspects related to these issues becomes more and more dominant, a greater commitment is needed in the search for solutions. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to the research and development of new materials to reduce the environmental impact in some fields. READ MORE

  5. 5. Modification of lignin derivatives for polymerization in water

    University essay from KTH/Ytbehandlingsteknik

    Author : Adrian Södergren; [2022]
    Keywords : biobased monomer; ferulic acid; radical polymerization; styrenic mononer; lignocellulose; biobaserad monomer; ferulsyra; radikalpolymerisation; styrenliknande monomer; lignocellulosa;

    Abstract : För att möjliggöra en hållbar utveckling skiftar många polymerforskares fokus just nu från att syntetisera polymerer från fossila resurser till att producera biobaserade polymerer från exempelvis träd. Av särskilt intresse är lignin, som utgör ungefär en tredjedel av allt växtmaterial men i nuläget oftast används som bränsle. READ MORE
