1. Predicting inflow and infiltration to wastewater networks based on temperature measurements
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : Sewer pipelines are deteriorating due to aging and sub optimal material selections, leading to the infiltration of clean ground and rainfall water into the pipes. It is estimated that a significant portion (up to 40-50%) of the water entering wastewater treatment plants is actually clean infiltrated water. READ MORE

2. Off-State Stress Effects in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs : Investigation of high-voltage off-state stress impact on performance of and its retention in hybrid-drain ohmic gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : High electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) realized using AlxGa1-xN/GaN are relatively new technology which is prominent for high-speed and high-power applications. Some of the main problems with this technology were identified as dynamic RDSon, current collapse and threshold voltage instabilities due to the off-state stress. READ MORE

3. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

5. Techno-economic analysis and simulation of low temperature district heating networks
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljöAbstract : The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. READ MORE
