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. Battery-Storage Investment for a Power System with High Variable Renewable Energy Output

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

   Author : Elva Yunyan Wallimann; [2023]
   Keywords : decision and risk analysis; energy economics; capacity expansion; operations research; utility-scale battery;

   Abstract : Climate change is posing significant threats to human beings. Deploying renewable energy sources in electricity generation is widely accepted as an indispensable part of the solution to climate change. The vast potential lies in variable renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. READ MORE

4. 3. Impact of offtake mechanisms on wind turbine selection and design in North and Central Europe

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

   Author : Gesa Reiter; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind energy; offtake mechanisms; wind turbine configuration and design; rated power; capacity factor; Renewable Energy Sources Act; EEG; PPA; merchant; profitability; NPV; IRR; Vindkraft; upphandlingsmekanismer; vindturbiners konfiguration och utformning; nominell effekt; kapacitetsfaktor; lagen om förnybara energikällor; EEG; energiköpsavtal; handelsprissättning; lönsamhet; NPV; IRR;

   Abstract : Wind power has become a major supplier of electricity in the European market in the last years. In 2020, 13% of electricity generated on the European continent was wind energy (onshore and offshore) and these shares are projected to increase in the next years due to reasons such as climate change and the energy security aspect.

5. 4. Renewables and electrification in Europe, A critical analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Thibault Damas; [2023]
   Keywords : Electrification; Renewables; Storage; Flexibility; Transmission; Europe; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Electrification of processes has become the cornerstone of the strategy to decarbonise energy supply, especially in recent years. This study aims to define the main issues underlying the electrification of the European energy mix, especially those caused by an increasing share of intermittent energies. READ MORE

6. 5. Accelerated Testing of the End-plate Assembly of a Redox Flow Battery

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

   Author : Saksham Jindal; [2022]
   Keywords : Energy Storage; Flow Batteries; Accelerated Testing; Contact Resistance; Endplate Assembly; Leak Rate; Stack Design; Energilagring; flödesbatterier; accelererad provning; kontaktmotstånd; montering av ändplattor; läckagehastighet; utformning av staplar.;

   Abstract : As the world transitions to intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind, the need for long-duration energy storage technologies is becoming more and more prominent. In this regard, flow batteries are seen as a promising solution, owing to their inherent advantages like decoupling of power and energy, extremely high cycle life and negligible self-discharge.
