  1. 1. Designing an Electric Road System

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : David Pålsson; Samuel Henley; [2023]
    Keywords : ERS; Electric Road System; Power Demand; Energy Storage; Peak Shaving; Emergency Backup; Elväg E20; Hallsberg; Örebro; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Electric road systems (ERS) provide electric power to vehicles en route (dynamic charging) and can reduce the need for onboard battery capacity. This thesis sets out to examine the power demand of an ERS and the integration of energy storage in its power supply for grid load alleviation and backup power. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Muthia Khairunisa Jaelani; [2022]
    Keywords : Wildfire; evacuation; WUI fire; evacuation modelling; traffic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. READ MORE
