1. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

2. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis
University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automationAbstract : 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. Benchmarking a 1 kW hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) offer great versatility in the tasks that they may perform and they are today used in many sectors. The H24LEO project, administered by the Lund University School of Aviation, aims to develop and demonstrate a hybrid proton-exchange membrane fuel cell-powered UAV to aid in search and rescue operations performed by the Swedish Maritime Administration, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar work performed by helicopters.

5. IMPLEMENTING SOLAR POWER SYSTEM AT ELIKIA SCHOOL : Electricity Generation for Education and Community Development in the DRC
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronikAbstract : This report examines the feasibility and cost of installing an off-grid solar system for Elika School in the village of Lwengo, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Congo has one of the lowest electrification rates globally. Only 19% of the population has access to electricity, and almost none in rural areas. READ MORE
