1. 1. Evaluating the accuracy of NEWA, ERA5 and NORA3 in predicting onshore wind conditions: a comparative study using ICOS meteorological mast data in Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Svetlana Kuru; [2024]
   Keywords : NEWA; ERA5; NORA3; wind speed; wind distribution; correlation coefficient;

   Abstract : The ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5), the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA), and the 3 km Norwegian Reanalysis (NORA3) are reference datasets that are available for industry and research. The resolution of 3km in both the NORA3 and NEWA datasets sets them apart, while ERA5, with its 31km resolution, continues to serve as a reliable data source that is widely used in the industry.

3. 2. Navigating Sustainability : A case study exploring alternative energy sources for maritime shipping

   University essay from KTH/Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.)

   Author : Simon Nordenskiöld; [2024]
   Keywords : Maritime shipping; Alternative energy sources; Alternative fuels; Hydrogen-based fuels; Sustainable shipping; Electrofuels; Electro-methanol; Liquid Hydrogen; Electro-ammonia; Sails; Wind; Technological Innovation System; Sjöfart; Alternativa energikällor; Alternativa bränslen; Vätebaseradebränslen; Hållbar sjöfart; Elektrobränslen; Elektrometanol; Flytande väte; Elektroammoniak; Segel; Vind; Technological Innovation Systems;

   Abstract : This master thesis studies alternative energy sources for maritime shipping in Sweden. With current climate goals, and a need for change, the maritime sector currently undergoes intense transitions. For shipping companies to lower their carbon footprint, the need to replace non decarbonised fuels is hence critical. READ MORE

4. 3. Exploring potential E-fuel production pathways for maritime and aviation sectors in France : a techno-economic and environmental assessment

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

   Author : Mathieu Minaud; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aviation and maritime industries pose significant challenges for decarbonization, having increased activity in the past decade. One promising solution to limit emissions in these sectors is Electrofuels (E-fuel), derived from water electrolysis hydrogen and captured CO2 or nitrogen. READ MORE

5. 4. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

6. 5. Unveiling the future: Exploring Sweden’s opportunities to transition to an auction-based system for offshore wind.

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

   Author : Hanna Savolainen; [2023-08-11]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The energy transition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the Russian Federation’s war on Ukraine has incentivised targets of European independence in the energy market. Offshore wind is deemed an important energy source because technological advancements have made the sector cost-efficient while producing more capacity than before. READ MORE
