1. 1. KEY FACTORS FOR SUCCESS IN CONTESTED GREEN PROJECTS

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Francisco Soto Fernández; [2023-06-28]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to understand why non-polluting energy facilities in Europe are not always well accepted notwithstanding their positive effect on greenhouse gas reduction and their contribution to transforming the EU into a thriving society, as intended by the European Green Deal. The thesis draws on public acceptance theory and has been conducted as a two-step Case Study, namely, the deployment of renewable energy facilities in La Rioja, a Spanish region wherein two waves of wind and solar energy plants – during the 2000s and the 2020s – have enjoyed very different degrees of public support.

3. 2. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

   Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

   Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

4. 3. Improvement of Wind Power Forecasting and Prediction of Production Losses Caused by Ice Formation on Wind Turbine Blades : - A Machine Learning Approach

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Emelie Sjökvist; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In the ongoing climate crisis, transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential to manage the increasing energy demand. One such renewable energy source is the weather-dependent energy source, wind power. Many wind farms are located in Cold Climate (CC) regions, known for their vast potential for wind power production. READ MORE

5. 4. Substation Digitalization for Medium Voltage Urban Distribution Networks : A Techno-Economic Analysis

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

   Author : Diego Molina Mendizábal; [2023]
   Keywords : Continuity of supply; incentive scheme; SAIDI; techno-economic analysis; Kontinuitet i försörjningen; incitamentsprogram; SAIDI; teknisk-ekonomisk analys;

   Abstract : High and medium-voltage digital substations play an essential role in the energy transition since they are part of the equipment required to deploy smart grids. With the gradual increase of smart grids, energy systems are becoming more flexible with the growing penetration of renewable energies and distributed energy generation. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
   Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

   Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE
