3. 2. Defining an Evaluation Model for Container Orchestration Operator Frameworks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

   Author : André Arnesson; Samuel Alberius; [2023]
   Keywords : container orchestration; cloud native application; operator; software framework; evaluation model; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The growing complexity of cloud native applications has necessitated the intro- duction of operators to the container orchestration tools’ suite of components. Operators affords developers the ability to encode domain knowledge and make fine-grained controllers for their Kubernetes clusters, radically extending the range of feasible applications to host.

6. 5. The Paradigm Shift for Substations Technology within Wind Power Applications from Onshore to Floating

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Ahmad Talaat Hifzy; [2023]
   Keywords : Floating; offshore; substation; transformer; GIS; equipment; high-voltage; fatigue; Flytande; havsbaserad; station; transformator; GIS; utrustning; högspänning; utmattning;

   Abstract : Floating wind turbines are attracting more attention as more than three-quarters of the total offshore technical potential is located in deep water, leading to a growing trend in floating wind farm projects. Consequently, it becomes necessary to develop Floating Offshore Substation (FOSS) to step up voltage and efficiently transmit power to the shore with minimal losses. READ MORE
