1. 1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Charlotte Sophie Gausa; [2024]
   Keywords : Arctic; wind profile power law; MOST; boundary layer; low level jets; sea ice; vindprofil; Arktis; gränsskikt; vindenergi; låghöjdsvindar; havsis;

   Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Derek van Winden; [2024]
   Keywords : Juice; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer; JDC; Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer; Particle Environment Package; PEP; Jupiter; Ganymede; Callisto; Europa; solar wind; magnetosheath; spacecraft charging; Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software; SPIS; charging; plasma; measurement perturbations; perturbation; distortion; particle detector; Institutet för Rymdfysik; IRF; Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies; DIAS; European Space Agency; ESA;

   Abstract :  In July 2031, a new chapter in the exploration of the Jovian system will begin with the arrival of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) at Jupiter. Launched on April 14 2024 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme, the mission aims to study Jupiter and its icy Galilean moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. 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. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Adam Törnqvist; Vincent Edberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Offshore wind power; Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis; Renewable energy; Suit-ability map; Geographical Information System; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Spatial multikriterieanalys; Förnybar energi; Lämp-lighetskarta; Geografiskt informationssystem;

   Abstract : Recognizing the imperative transition towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, this study explores the outlooks for offshore wind power in Norway, a country endowed with extensive coastlines and favourable wind conditions. The thesis sets out to support decision-making processes by synthesizing contemporary research and applying context-specific insights to the southern half of the Norwegian economic zone (NEZ) into a comprehensive Spatial-Multi-criteria Analysis (SMCA).

6. 5. Variation Management Strategies for Future Construction Sites: A study to address role of an equipment rental business in the energy transition

   University essay from

   Author : Ellen Blanksvärd; Frida Svensson; [2023-09-21T12:07:03Z 2023-09-21T12:07:03Z 2023 2023]
   Keywords : battery storage; variation management; flexibility services; peak shaving; load shifting; demand side management; rental business; electrification; construction equipment; construction sites;

   Abstract : Construction sites are facing challenges with high power peaks due to electrificationof heavy equipment where potential consequences are increased power tariffs locallyand risk of limited power supply. Another development is an increased intermittentpower supply due to more wind- and solar power in the electricity system, whichcauses price fluctuations. READ MORE
