  1. 1. Estimating Photovoltaic capacity using customs data : Model development of the tool NJORD and photovoltaics' characterization and impact on the African continent

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Albin Åbrink; [2023]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Trade analysis; Development Goals; Africa;

    Abstract : Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the fastest growing power sources in the world in the last twenty years, being the most installed power source in almost half of the world's countries in 2020. Despite this, precise tracking of installations of PV does not exist in most of the world's markets due to PVs unique scalability and modularity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimization of an energy system in rural Thailand

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

    Abstract : By 2020, Thailand ensured 100% electricity access to its 72 million inhabitants. This was partly done by promoting off-grid energy systems in rural areas instead of using costly grid extensions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian; Amira Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade project; Diffraction grating; Artificial spider silk; Climate change; Geoengineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.

  5. 4. Pathways towards universal access to electricity in West Africa : Case study of Mali and Senegal

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

    Author : Vittorio Bozzo; [2023]
    Keywords : Universal electricity access; Senegal; Mali; OnSSET; GIS; PV mini-grid; Universell tillgång till el; Senegal; Mali; OnSSET; GIS; PV mininät;

    Abstract : Despite the vast solar potential in both Mali and Senegal, the electricity access in both countries remains one of the lowest in the world. The main problem is represented by the disparity between rural and urban settlements. In Senegal, the electricity access for rural areas was lower than 50%, while in Mali was around 35%. READ MORE

  6. 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 elektronik

    Author : Melvin Riche; [2023]
    Keywords : solcellsanläggningen; skolan; Kongo;

    Abstract : 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
