1. 16. Future Scenarios for Energy Security and Sustainable Desalination in Jordan

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

   Author : Miles Weinstein; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Jordan is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world and contains very limited reserves of traditional energy resources. In fact, the country is classified as extremely water scarce according to FAO, with a water availability of less than 100 m3 per person annually. READ MORE

3. 17. The challenges and Opportunities of the Grand Renaissance Dam for sustainable Energy - Water - Food - Ecosystem services Nexus in Ethiopia.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bisrat Woldemichael Handiso; [2018]
   Keywords : Sustainable development; Hydropower plant; Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam; Natural Resource Management; Energy; Water; Food; Ecosystem services; Environment; Climate Change; Ethiopia;

   Abstract : Ethiopia has been challenged by multidimensional poverty. However, it has the potential to minimize the threat through an integrated multipurpose development process. In this regard, hydropower has a significant role to reduce energy poverty and enhance the multipurpose use of natural resources efficiency. READ MORE

4. 18. Solar photovoltaic potential to complement hydropower in Ecuador : a GIS-based framework of analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Jose Jara Alvear; [2018]
   Keywords : photovoltaic; hydropower; complementarity; GIS; Ecuador; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : In Ecuador, more than 85% of electricity production relies on hydropower and consequently the supply of electricity relies on water availability. During the dry season (October-March) hydropower capacity could diminish up to one-third of its installed capacity or more under a severe drought causing a substantial augmentation of thermoelectric power output to offset the lack of hydropower to cover electricity demand, and consequently increasing the overall operational cost and emission of CO2 of the power system.

5. 19. Grid impact study of frequency regulation with EVs

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Emma Blomgren; [2018]
   Keywords : Electric vehicles EVs ; grid impact; ancillary services; frequency regulation; FCR-N; vehicle-to-grid V2G ; voltage; reactive power; load profile; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The ongoing grid paradigm shift has resulted in synchronous generators currently being phased out. As the generators have been providing ancillary services, such as frequency control regulation, this means that new technologies to perform ancillary services need to be developed and evaluated.

6. 20. Balancing Supply and Demand in an Electricity System - the Case of Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.)

   Author : Oskar Mared; Victor Persson; [2018]
   Keywords : Electricity System; Intermittent Energy Sources; Balancing Supply and Demand; Frequency Control; Local Balancing Efforts; Socio-Technical Approach; Multi-Level Perspective; elsystem; intermittenta energikällor; balansera produktion och konsumtion; frekvensreglering; balansering på lokal nivå; socio-teknisk ansats; flernivåsansats;

   Abstract : In an electrical system there needs to be a constant balance between supply and demand ofelectricity and this is measured by the frequency in the grid. Due to the increasing awarenessof climate change, more renewable energy resources have been introduced in the Swedishelectricity system. READ MORE
