  1. 1. Microgrid in George Washington, Cuba

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

    Author : Mimmi Fröjdh; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Cuba; microgrid; energy systems modelling; renewable energy; optimization; Kuba; microgrid; energisystemmodellering; förnybar energi; optimering;

    Abstract : Cuba has vast natural resources for domestic renewable energy generation, but their energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels. This contributes to a high dependence on expensive oil imports and has led to significant generation shortfalls, which in turn has resulted in extensive power outages and serious fuel crises.

  3. 2. 1D Simulation of Hydraulic Cam Phaser System Utilized in Heavy Duty Vehicles : An Investigation on Attenuation of Phase Oscillations from Cam Torque Disturbances

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Johan Germundsson; [2023]
    Keywords : master thesis; cam phaser; simulation; 1D-simulation; GT-SUITE; GT-ISE; Gamma Technologies; oil aeration; oscillations; heavy-duty; engine; phaser; cam torque; stability; cam phaser system; Scania; Scalia CV;

    Abstract : Cam phasers allow improvements to the efficiency and emissions of internal combustion engines. The usage of hydraulic vane type cam phasers for heavy-duty applications have shown problems with oscillations during testing at Scania CV. To investigate the root cause of the oscillations a detailed 1-d simulation model has been created. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Janus Face of Petroleum: Norway, Venezuela and Petrostate-led Development

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Romanska och klassiska institutionen

    Author : Santiago Benavides García; [2023]
    Keywords : Petroleum; Petrostate; State intervention; economic development; political context; Transnational Oil Companies; natural resource trap; corporate independence; natural resource management.;

    Abstract : This paper examines the strategic management of natural resources in Venezuela and Norway,focusing on the role of the State in the petroleum industry and its implications for economicdevelopment. In Venezuela, the national oil company PDVSA experienced increased stateintervention, leading to a dependence on petroleum revenues and limited diversification. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterization of NiMo catalysts with noble metal promoters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Filip Hallböök; [2023]
    Keywords : Catalysis; Hydrodeoxygenation; TPR; NiMo-catalysts; Chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : To be able to face the challenges brought on by climate change there is an urgent need to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Bio-oil is one such renewable and carbon-neutral replacement that has shown promising potential. A key step in making bio-oil commercially feasible is improvements of the upgrading processes of the bio-oil. READ MORE

  6. 5. Competition between Phase Separation and Micellization in a Coarse-Grained Protein Model with Two Components

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Fangxuan Lyu; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely believed to play a key role in the for- mation of intracellular biomolecular condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Furthermore, it has been shown in vitro that several IDPs are able to phase sepa- rate on their own. READ MORE
