  1. 16. Constructing a Social Profitability Index: Socially Responsible Investing in Electric Utilities

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Odessa Bäckfors; Ebba Jernmark Burrows; [2023]
    Keywords : Socially responsible investing; Social Profitability Index; Sustainability ratings; Shareholder activism; Renewable electricity;

    Abstract : Building on a theory about the Social Profitability Index (SPI), this paper is the first to construct an SPI in practice ranking investment opportunities based on social and financial returns within the electric utility industry. The social return is the investor-preference weighted social gain from avoiding carbon emissions by changing to renewable production technology in a firm. READ MORE

  3. 17. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
    Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.

  4. 18. Analysis of Microgrid Electrification on Phaluai Island : A Minor Field Study in Thailand

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

    Author : Leontina Walldén; Caroline Wahlberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Microgrid; Rural electrification; Rural islands; Thailand; Renewable energy; Microgrid; Elektrifiering av landsbygd; Isolerade öar; Thailand; Förnybar energi;

    Abstract : Similar to numerous other nations, Thailand aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and increasing the amount of renewable energy sources in electricity generation. The objective of the Thai Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) is to ensure electricity access for all Thai households and villages. READ MORE

  5. 19. Flexible Sector Coupling (FSC) of Electrical and Thermal Sectors via Thermal Energy Storage (TES) : A Case Study on Oskarshamn Energi

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

    Author : Raúl Calvo García; Jose María Marín Arcos; [2023]
    Keywords : Flexible sector coupling FSC ; district heating DH ; thermal energy storage TES ; heat pump HP ; capacity optimization; dispatch optimization; open-access tools; Flexibel sektorkoppling; fjärrvärme; termisk energilagring; värmepump; kapacitetsoptimering; leveransoptimering; verktyg med öppen tillgång;

    Abstract : The integration of distributed energy sources and systems is of high relevance for the transition towards a more sustainable energy system. Taking into consideration the  amount of emissions produced by the heating sector, which account for at least half of the energy demand in buildings, district heating systems have the potential to play a key role in the transition, by enabling the integration of various energy sources and provide flexible energy services to the grid.

  6. 20. Developing a Cost Model For Combined Offshore Farms : The Advantages of Co-Located Wind and Wave Energy

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

    Author : Eva Blech; [2023]
    Keywords : Wave Energy; Floating Offshore Wind; Co-located Wind-Wave Farm; Levelized Cost of Energy; Multi-Source Offshore Farm; Vågenergi; flytande havsbaserad vindkraft; samlokaliserad vind- och vågpark; nivellerad energikostnad; havsbaserad park med flera källor;

    Abstract : Previous research has displayed that multi-source farms provide an opportunity to reduce the cost of energy and improve the energy output quality. This thesis assesses the cost competitiveness of co-located wind-wave farms, specifically floating offshore wind (FLOW) turbines and CorPower’s wave energy converters (WEC). READ MORE
