  1. 1. Hosting Capacity Methods Considering Complementarity between Solar and Wind Power : A Case Study on a Swedish Regional Grid

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Emma Andersson; Maja Abrahamsson Bolstad; [2023]
    Keywords : hosting capacity; hosting capacity methods; renewable power generation; power grid; power system analysis; complementarity; solar power; wind power; deterministic method; time series method;

    Abstract : The demand for electrical power is growing due to factors such as population growth, urbanisation, and the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. To be able to keep up with the changes in electricity demand, the Swedish power grid must connect more renewable power generation, but also  increase its transmission capacity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Pathways towards universal access to electricity in West Africa : Case study of Mali and Senegal

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

    Author : Vittorio Bozzo; [2023]
    Keywords : Universal electricity access; Senegal; Mali; OnSSET; GIS; PV mini-grid; Universell tillgång till el; Senegal; Mali; OnSSET; GIS; PV mininät;

    Abstract : Despite the vast solar potential in both Mali and Senegal, the electricity access in both countries remains one of the lowest in the world. The main problem is represented by the disparity between rural and urban settlements. In Senegal, the electricity access for rural areas was lower than 50%, while in Mali was around 35%. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design of a Sustainable Energy System for a Community Center in rural Mozambique : A Minor Field Study in Mozambique

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

    Author : Emilia Säll Magnusson; Melchior Hahn; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable energy system; Solar PV system; off-grid; Community center; Rural Mozambique; Minor Field Study; Project Vita; Hållbart energisystem; Solcellssystem; off-grid; kultur- och fritidscentrum; Mozambiques landsbygd; Minor Field Study; Project Vita;

    Abstract : Access to energy is an important part in the development of most countries and societies, linked to both social and economic growth. Nevertheless, 70% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa does not have access to electricity, which brings consequences to several of these areas. READ MORE

  5. 4. Monitoring of Partial Discharges on Cable Terminations : An experimental approach to evaluate non-conventional online PD measurement techniques

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

    Author : Tony Sibo; [2023]
    Keywords : Monitoring; Partial discharges; Medium-voltage cable terminations; Sensor performance; Reliability evaluation; Infrared camera IR-camera ; Ultrasonic emission sensor AE-sensor ; Temperature and relative humidity sensor TRH-sensor ; High frequency current transformer HFCT ; Transient earth voltage antenna TEV-antenna ; Conventional VS non-conventional PD measurement techniques; Övervakning; Partiella urladdningar; Mellanspänningskabelslut; Evaluering av sensorprestanda; Utvärdering av systemets tillförlitlighet; Infraröd kamera; Ultraljudssensor; Temperatur- och relativ fuktighetssensor; Högfrekvent strömtransformator; Transient jordspänningsantenn; Konventionella vs icke-konventionella mättekniker;

    Abstract : The transmission of electric power over long distances has historically posed challenges. However, the advent of high-voltage engineering has not only addressed distance barriers and power losses in electricity transmission and distribution, but it has also significantly improved the efficiency and transmission capacity of power grids.

  6. 5. Batteries charging into the future? Techno-economical analysis of BESS participation on the Swedish frequency regulation market using a mixed method approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Theodor Rosengren; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery Energy Storage Systems; Frequency Regulation; FCR-D; FFR; economic feasibility; Sweden; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the penetration of variable renewable energy is increasing, the demand for flexibility in the electrical grid is on the rise. One way in which flexibility is needed is to provide frequency regulation. If electricity consumption and production momentarily are unbalanced there needs to. READ MORE
