1. 21. Feasibility of Enhanced Geothermal Systems in the Precambrian crystalline basement in SW Scania, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Hanna Kervall; [2021]
   Keywords : EGS; deep drilling; geothermal; petrology; petrophysical properties; Sveconorwegian; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The ability to evaluate the geothermal potential at a depth of five to six kilometres in the crystalline bedrock is crucial for the EGS-technology to be utilized in the future. This work focuses primarily on presenting expected geological conditions at great depths in southwestern Scania. The study is based on information from E. READ MORE

3. 22. A reverse data-driven energy estimation approach for evaluating renewable energy systems implementation in New York City

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

   Author : Seyedmohammad Hosseini; [2021]
   Keywords : Energy use prediction; Energy performance simulation; Renewable energy source; data-driven energy estimation; Statistical methods; Reverse method; Regression model; Urban modelling; Energy modelling; Generative modelling; Geothermal heat pump; Borehole Thermal Energy Storage.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Urban areas are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Megacities, especially, have cumulative impacts due to different anthropogenic heat sources and urban heat island phenomena. It is therefore vital to replace fossil fuel burning heating sources with renewable sources in the current building stock. READ MORE

4. 23. 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

5. 24. 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.

6. 25. Performance Evaluation of Ground Heating and Cooling Systems - Long-term performance measurements of two case buildings

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

   Author : Hao Liu; Hongyi Zhang; [2020]
   Keywords : Ground source heat pump GSHP ; System performance; Long-term monitoring; Geothermal; Borehole heat exchangers; Office building; Uncertainty analysis; Deep Green Cooling; Free cooling; Heating; Cooling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Geothermal energy is one of the oldest and most sustainable energy sources and has been used for thousands of years. The temperature of the ground at shallow depth is fairly constant, above the air temperature in winter and lower than the ambient temperature in summer. READ MORE
