1. 6. Renewable Energy and the Resettlement of Local Communities - A Case Study of the Olkaria Geothermal Power Plant and the Maasai Community

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

   Author : Alva Damberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Renewable energy projects; pastoralism; Maasai community; power relations in political ecology; resettlement action plans; indigenous land rights; Kenya; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : The government of Kenya has committed to run on 100% renewable energy by 2030 as part of the new national development goals, and as a result, the country calls for the construction of additional energy plants. However, the construction of these energy plants have in many cases affected local communities who have been forced to relocate to other areas. READ MORE

3. 7. Design of a cost model for a hospital area to switch between district heating and geothermal heat pumps

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Jan López Majó; [2021]
   Keywords : District heating; geothermal heat pumps; cost model; flexibility; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The design of the cost model is motivated by the need of the customer to optimize its energy consumption and maximize the savings. Therefore, this tool will be able to manage the data from both power (geothermal heat pumps) and heating (district heating) systems, as well as outdoor temperatures, energy demand and other inputs, and determine which one is more feasible for every hour of the year.

4. 8. Techno-economic assessment of CO2 refrigeration systems with geothermal integration : a field measurements and modelling analysis

   University essay from KTH/Energisystem

   Author : Fabio Giunta; [2020]
   Keywords : CO2 Refrigeration; Supermarkets; Heat Recovery; Geothermal Storage; Energy Efficiency; Boreholes; Techno-Economic Assessment;

   Abstract : Several CO2 transcritical booster systems in supermarkets use the potential of integrating geothermal storage, enabling subcooling during warm climate conditions as well as being a heat source during cold climate conditions. First of all, field measurements of one of these systems located in Sweden were analysed with particular focus on the heat-recovery performance. READ MORE

5. 9. A Numerical Analysis on the Effects of Using CO2 as a Driving Fluid for a Geothermal Plant

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : David Bennich; [2020]
   Keywords : reinjection; two-phase flow; geothermal energy; CO2 sequestration; iTOUGH2; ECO2N; återinjektion; tvåfasflöde; geotermisk energi; koldioxidlagring; iTOUGH2; ECO2N;

   Abstract : To limit the effect of global warming society needs clean energy sources and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By combining carbon capture and storage technologies together with geothermal power production it is possible to gain fossil free energy while potentially storing CO2 at the same time. READ MORE
