  1. 1. Using Dynamic Double Machine Learning for Guided District Heating Forecasting and Physical Parameter Extraction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Justinas Smertinas; [2022]
    Keywords : Double Machine Learning; Time Series; District Heating; ARMAX; Forecasting; Solar Gain; Diurnal Effects; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. READ MORE

  2. 2. Effects of Salinization on Lake Metabolism

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Emil Nordström; [2020]
    Keywords : Freshwater ecology; carbon flux; mesocosms; diurnal variation;

    Abstract : With rising salinity levels in many freshwaters across the globe caused by for example sealevel rise and de-icing salts, it becomes important to understand what effect it has on freshwater ecosystems, since the lakes and rivers themselves are important parts in the global carbon cycle. In this study I have looked at what effects increased salinity levels have on different lakes metabolism, specifically oxygen concentration and primary production. READ MORE

  3. 3. Energy balance closure, water balance, carbon exchange, and water use efficiency : observed and modeled outcomes for a managed, hemiboreal forest in Southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Linsey Marie Avila; [2019]
    Keywords : Energy balance; energy balance closure; energy balance ratio; net radiation; sensible heat; latent heat; turbulent fluxes; ground heat flux; energy storage; available energy; Bowen ratio; evaporative fraction; latent heat of vaporization; water balance; evapotranspiration; precipitation; water storage; water discharge; gross primary production; ecosystem respiration; net ecosystem production; carbon exchange; water use efficiency; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctuations in precipitation, decreases in yearly snow, faster snow melt rates, variability in evapotranspiration due to environmental stress, and related changes in the energy, hydrological, and carbon cycles will change these northern, boreal landscapes is crucial.

  4. 4. Data analysis and wake modelling ofthe Lillgrund wind farm

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Alessandro Sebastiani; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This work consists of two parts: the analysis of the operating data collected at Lillgrund between December 2007 and March 2018, and the implementation and evaluation of three wake models. Operational and meteorological data from the Lillgrund wind farm have been analyzed to assess the aerodynamic efficiency and general performance of the farm. READ MORE

  5. 5. Using CFD to analyze thermal and optical influence on a zero pressure balloon at floating condition

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Yared Woldu; Anton Fritz; [2018]
    Keywords : CFD; High-altitude balloon; ANSYS; FLUENT;

    Abstract : The ability to control the trajectory and understanding the atmospheric effects on the flight performance of a scientific high altitude balloon has long been an aspiring ambition. This thesis work analyses the thermal and optical environments at float using the simulation software, ANSYS FLUENT. READ MORE
