  1. 21. Magnetic and Dielectric Design of Auxiliary Power Supply for HVDC Applications : A high-frequency transformer with high power transfer capability and high voltage electrical insulation

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

    Author : Henrik Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Auxiliary Power Supply; HVDC; Inductive Power Supply; High Voltage Insulation; High-Frequency Transformer; Hjälpkraftsförsörjning; HVDC; Induktiv Kraftförsörjning; Högspänningsisolation; Högfrekvenstransformator;

    Abstract : It is anticipated that massive amounts of energy will be transferred long distances via High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links in the future and the prospect of having meshed HVDC grids is envisioned, for example the European super grid. Such a power system would benefit greatly if HVDC circuit breakers could reliably clear faults within the HVDC network. READ MORE

  3. 22. Case study of the energy performance of a school building in Laholm, Sweden : Energy modeling for the formulation of efficient renovation strategies

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Daniel Andrés Gutiérrez Prieto; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerogel; building renovation; energy modeling; exergy analysis; new technologies; phase change materials; vacuum insulation panels.;

    Abstract : This study has been focusing on a school located in the municipality of Laholm, South of Sweden. Employing an energy balance of the last five (5) years, a proposal for measures is made in terms of performance for comparison with the baseline of the current consumption trend. READ MORE

  4. 23. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  5. 24. Economic and environmental optimization of deep energy renovation strategies for an office building in Sweden

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Eva Sauterleute; [2022]
    Keywords : Life Cycle Analysis LCA ; Global warming potential GWP ; Life Cycle Costs LCC ; Building Energy Simulation; Building Energy Renovation; Insulation Materials; OneclickLCA; IDA ICE; Livscykelanalys LCA ; global uppvärmningspotential GWP ; livscykelkostnader LCC ; energisimulering av byggnader; energirenovering av byggnader; isoleringsmaterial; One Click LCA; IDA ICE;

    Abstract : Energy efficiency of the building sector is a key strategy to achieve national climate goals in Sweden and other European countries. In this thesis, several renovation scenarios for a case study office building in Sweden are analysed and compared based on their energy performance, environmental impacts, and economic costs from a life cycle perspective.

  6. 25. Utilization of Rubber and Plastic Waste as  A Partial Replacement of Aggregate for  Improved Sound Insulation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Arkitektur och vatten

    Author : Nooralhuda Chabuk; [2022]
    Keywords : concrete; rubber; plastic. PET; insulation.;

    Abstract : Globally, billions of tons of rubber and plastic waste are produced annually, and because these wastes degrade so slowly (about 450 years for plastic bottles and 80 years for tire rubbers), they are extremely difficult to dispose of. As a result, utilizing these wastes directly in building materials can significantly reduce the environmental load while also increasing the sustainability of the building material. READ MORE
