1. 6. Hydronic Pavement Systems for Sustainable Winter Road Maintenance in Sweden : A Study of Hamnbacken in Visby

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Chirin Barikan; [2019]
   Keywords : Winter road maintenance; sustainable infrastructure; geoenergy; renewable energy; Nordic climate; BTES; surface water source heat; Halkbekämpning; hållbar infrastruktur; geoenergi; förnybar energi; nordiskt klimat; borrhål; sjövärme;

   Abstract : In countries with harsh winter climates extensive winter road maintenance is necessary to achieve traffic accessibility and road safety. These measures have high economic and environmental costs as snow free roads and winter road maintenance in Sweden today is achieved by a combination of mechanical snow clearance and the spreading of salt to prevent ice formation.

3. 7. Thermal Performance Analysis of High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Design from an Insulation Perspective

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

   Author : Tobias Magnusson; Joel Ljunggren; [2019]
   Keywords : High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage; HT-BTES; Thermal Energy Storage; TRNSYS; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Thermal energy storage is a growing concept within the sector of energy production. The concept is based on storage of excess thermal energy, for usage during high demand, as a mean of reducing the need for new production. READ MORE

4. 8. Integrated Combined Heat and Power Plant with Borehole Thermal Energy Storage

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

   Author : Amol Yevalkar; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Countries like Sweden, that experience temperatures below 0 𝑜C, have a high heating demand during winters. The heating demand in Sweden is satisfied through district heating, electric heating, heat pumps and biofuel boilers. The fossil fuels account for around 5 % of the heating market. READ MORE

5. 9. Transient modeling of a high temperature borehole thermal energy storage coupled with a combined heat and power plant

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

   Author : Malin Malmberg; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Coupling High-Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storages (HT-BTES) with existing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems is a promising approach to increase energy efficiency of district energy systems through recovery of otherwise wasted heat. This solution is currently being discussed in Sweden by the company Tekniska Verken in Linköping AB, for storing waste heat from their CHP operation in summer in a HT-BTES and to utilize it during peaks in winter.

6. 10. Increased use of solar energy in commercial buildings by integrating energy storage.

   University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

   Author : Nina Nilsson; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : From a comparison of available thermal energy storage (TES) technologies it can be concluded that the most mature and suitable storage methods for modern commercial buildings in Sweden are storage tanks, either for heat or cold energy, and underground storage solutions such as borehole thermal energy storage (BTES), aquifer storage and energy piles. In this study an integrated solar energy storage system for heating purpose has been designed with BTES, hot water storage tank(s) and solar thermal collectors. READ MORE
