  1. 1. Study case: The water-cooling effect on floating photovoltaic plants performance

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Alice Dragon; [2024]
    Keywords : Solar photovoltaic; Floating photovoltaic; Performance analysis; Thermal loss; Panel Efficiency; Cooling effect; Solceller; Flytande solceller; Prestandaanalys; Termisk förlust; Panelens effektivitet; Kylande effekt;

    Abstract : Floating solar technology is relatively new, and it comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. This master thesis focuses on understanding how Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) projects perform compared to Ground-Based Photovoltaic (GPV) projects, in specific weather conditions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Solar Photovoltaic Thermal Collectors and Ground Source Heat Pumps for Commercial Buildings : Case study in Sweden

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

    Author : Doris Dijak; Elin Torstensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ground Source Heat Pump; Photovoltaic Thermal Collectors; Borehole Thermal Energy Storage; Free Cooling.; Bergvärmepumpssystem; Termiska Solceller; Borrhålsbaserade Termiska Energilager; Frikyla.;

    Abstract : In order to reduce emissions from the building sector, which stands for than a fifth of the global energy consumption today, efficient and fossil free heating and cooling systems are of importance. This study investigates the combination of solar photovoltaic thermal collectors and ground source heat pump systems in order to regenerate energy to the ground in combination with free cooling.

  4. 3. Characterization of Lamps of IRF Solar Simulator

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Mrunmayee Sonna; [2023]
    Keywords : IRF; Solar simulator; Characterization; Thermal simulations; Systema-Thermica; Autodesk Inventor; correlated results;

    Abstract : The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) at Kiruna focuses on research activities in the ionosphere, magnetosphere, and upper atmosphere of the planet as well as the development and production of various sensors and detectors for space research. The test facility includes the IRF SpaceLab which is equipped with multiple testing equipment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Antarctic Subglacial Lakes as Environmental Analogues for Possible Hidden Biospheres on the Moons Europa and Enceladus

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonas Fahlman; [2023]
    Keywords : astrobiology; icy moons; subglacial lakes; ice dynamics; thermal regimes; extremophiles; anthropogenic contamination; astrobiologi; ismånar; subglaciala sjöar; is-dynamik; termiska regimer; extremofiler; antropologisk kontaminering;

    Abstract : The evolving science of astrobiology for the search for life beyond Earth has put focus on the possibility of subsurface bodies of liquid water beneath the surface of icy moons within our Solar System. Specifically, the Jovian moon of Europa and the Saturnian moon of Enceladus show telling characteristics of endogenous heating through their complex tidal resonances with their parent planets – suggesting the presence of oceans of liquid water and therefore a potential for astrobiology.
