  1. 11. Development and Validation of a Simulation Model for a Power Unit of an UAV

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Gabriel Caréndi; [2023]
    Keywords : UAV; Simulation; Power Electronics;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this master's thesis is to examine a new version of a power unit currently utilized in an unmanned aerial vehicle and develop a simulation model of the power unit. The theoretical groundwork needed for developing a model has been presented, describing components used and the function of the different subsystems. READ MORE

  3. 12. Uncanny details : Exploration how the uncanny valley appears within the movements of virtual characters

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Mikael Ytterstedt; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual body language; Uncanny Valley; game user experience; animation; game development; motion capture; immersion;

    Abstract : This study has examined what in virtual characters movement invokes negative sensations associated with the Uncanny Valley. This was done through a study involving semi-structured interviews, open-ended surveys and eye tracking during which the 10 participants observed gameplay and dialogue clips from three different games.

  4. 13. Anomaly Detection in the EtherCAT Network of a Power Station : Improving a Graph Convolutional Neural Network Framework

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

    Author : Niklas Barth; [2023]
    Keywords : Unsupervised Learning; Multivariate Time Series; Graph Convolutional Neural Networks; Anomaly Detection; Industrial Control System; EtherCAT; Power Station; Electricity Grid;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an anomaly detection framework is assessed and fine-tuned to detect and explain anomalies in a power station, where EtherCAT, an Industrial Control System, is employed for monitoring. The chosen framework is based on a previously published Graph Neural Network (GNN) model, utilizing attention mechanisms to capture complex relationships between diverse measurements within the EtherCAT system.

  5. 14. Community Continuity Management : An Exploration of the Energy Production and Use of a Fictional Stockholm Neighbourhood in a Crisis

    University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Author : Nils Brattgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Business Continuity Management; Community Continuity Management; Energy Community; Energy Resilience; Energy; Resilience; Preparedness; Adaptation; Wellness; Wellbeing; Blackout; Power Failure; High Impact Low Probability; Crisis; Disaster; Kontinuitetshantering; Community Continuity Management; Energigemenskap; Energiresiliens; Energi; Resiliens; Beredskap; Anpassning; Välmående; Välbefinnande; Strömavbrott; Elkris; High Impact Low Probability; Kris; Katastrof;

    Abstract : In an increasingly interconnected, and electricity-reliant world, households are asked to build up their resilience to crises. Local, distributed electricity production within a microgrid with capability to operate disconnected from the larger grid has been shown to be an effective tool for increasing power system resilience in the past.

  6. 15. Characterization of Compost from Reusable Industrial Streams: : physical, Nutrient, and Microbial Properties

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Ellen Ek Moreau; [2023]
    Keywords : Spent mushroom compost; apple orchard waste; soil amendment; compost optimization; circular agriculture;

    Abstract : The increasing global population, combined with soil degradation, poses challenges to food security, and raises concerns about the excessive and long-term use of conventional fertilizers. Evaluating sustainable alternative by-products for their soil-improving properties could offer a potential solution, particularly for Swedish fruit producers who can tap into local waste streams as a circular source of plant nutrients.
