1. 1. Power in the Age of the Green Energy Transition: Multinational Corporations, the State, and Cobalt in the Democratic Republic of Congo

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Wilma Arvidsson; [2023]
   Keywords : cobalt; Democratic Republic of Congo; Glencore; multinational corporations; green energy transition; Law and Political Science;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the power balance between states and multinational corporations, and how the green energy transition impacts this balance, a connection commonly overlooked by researchers. I have sought to remedy this gap by conducting a qualitative case study of the relationship between the Democratic Republic of Congo, which holds the majority of global cobalt reserves, and major cobalt producer Glencore.

3. 2. Battery Storage as Grid Reinforcement for Peak Power Demands

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

   Author : Jesper Hilleberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Battery Storage; Battery Energy Storage System; Grid Reinforcement; Flexibility; Lithium-ion battery; li-ion battery; Large Scale Grid Storage; BESS; Energy Storage; Peak Power Demand; Batterilagring; Batterilagringsystem; Nätförstärkning; Nätförstärkningsåtgärd; toppeffektlaster; Flexibilitet; Flexibilitetslösning; litiumjonbatteri; li-ion batteri; BESS; energilagring;

   Abstract : An increased amount of intermittent electricity production, more electric vehicles (EV), and an overall electrification of society may all cause a higher variability between the balance of supply and demand on the electric grid. Battery storage has been identified as a solution to the emerging problem asit can be charged during hours of low power demand and then discharged to help meet the power demand during peak loads.
