  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. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Test rig for evaluation of protective coating against molten aluminum

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

    Author : Sashank Ghandikota; [2023]
    Keywords : TES; PCM; protective coating; thermal energy storage; TES; PCM; skyddande beläggning; lagring av värmeenergi;

    Abstract : Today, many methods test the lifetime of coatings, but none focus on testing protective coatingsin a non-oxidizing environment. Hence, this master thesis developed a method to test the life-time of a protective coating against molten aluminum. READ MORE

  6. 5. Towards Water Resource Recovery Facilities : Environmentally Extended Techno-Economic Assessment of Emerging Sewage Sludge Management Technologies in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik
