1. 1. The Price of Power: A quantitative study of price elasticity of demand during high electricity prices in Southern Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

   Author : Joel Berg; Lisa Johnsson; [2024-02-12]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Unprecedentedly high electricity prices became a pressing issue for consumers in 2021-2022, causing political debate and shedding light on the hourly electricity prices. Out of the four Swedish electricity areas created to facilitate an effective electricity market, this thesis will focus on SE3 and SE4 in the South of Sweden, which experienced the highest prices in 2021-2022.

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. 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.

5. 4. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.

6. 5. 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
