  1. 1. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  3. 2. Life cycle assessment of hybrid systems for rural electrification in Bolivia

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sandu Seres; [2021]
    Keywords : Diesel; Stirling; Photovoltaic; impact category;

    Abstract : Bolivia is a developing country in South America. Many rural communities still lack access to electricity. The extension of the National Grid System to all rural communities is not feasible due to economic and topographic challenges as well as the environmental problems that may arise. To tackle these problems, Off-grid solutions are implemented. READ MORE

  4. 3. Alkaline wet oxidation of biorefinery lignin from wheat straw

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Maja Lindblad; [2021]
    Keywords : alkaline wet oxidation; lignin oxidation; wheat straw; chemical pretreatment; biorefinery lignin; anaerobic digestion; response surface-modelling; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Climate change and depletion of fossil resources have generated a need for energy production based on renewable resources such as lignocellulosic biomass. Agricultural residues, like wheat straw, is lignocellulosic biomass that could contribute to the energy supply if it was used for biogas production. READ MORE

  5. 4. Integrating planetary boundaries into the life cycle assessment of electric vehicles : A case study on prioritising impact categories through environmental benchmarking in normalisation and weighting methods when assessing electric heavy-duty vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ida Pehrson; [2020]
    Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; Electric Vehicle; Normalisation; Weighting; Planetary Boundaries; Livscykelanalys; tunga transporter; elektriska fordon; normalisering; viktning; planetära gränser;

    Abstract : The transport sector is facing great challenges for achieving development within the Earth’s boundaries. Currently, LCA studies on heavy- and medium-duty vehicles have mainly assessed the ‘well-to-wheel’ stage and the impact category climate change. READ MORE

  6. 5. SOLAR ROOF - Roof potential investigation for installing PV system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Forough Hosseini; Saba Salehi; [2020]
    Keywords : Solar roof; solar potential; PV system; Ventilation system; Photovoltaics; million-program buildings; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By increasing the amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere because of using fossil fuel and the limitation of non-renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaics technology has been growing steadily and is thought to play an important role in the realm of future energies. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of the rooftops for installing PV system on a small scale of 30 multifamily houses in Gothenburg divided into four categories of age, location, roof type, and ventilation system.
