  1. 1. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

  2. 2. A Seed has been Planted : Examining public-private cooperation in the civil preparedness sector of food supply and drinking water

    University essay from Försvarshögskolan

    Author : Gustaf Stövling; [2024]
    Keywords : Civil preparedness; crisis management; public-private cooperation; rationalist organizational; social-psychological; total defense;

    Abstract : The resurgence and increased use of the total defense concept in the political landscape of Sweden comes in a time of global geopolitical uncertainties and multifaceted security crises. Despite its stated importance, how the private sector should be incorporated into this structure remains somewhat unclear. READ MORE

  3. 3. Battery profit optimization

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Ebba Helfer; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery; 2nd life battery; Ancillary services; BESS; energy storage system; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the near future, a new market will form full of 2nd life batteries that are no longer suitable to use in electric vehicles. This since their capacity retention is too low after a few years of usage, as a consequence of two aging mechanisms; cycling aging and calendar aging. READ MORE

  4. 4. Hosting Capacity Methods Considering Complementarity between Solar and Wind Power : A Case Study on a Swedish Regional Grid

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Emma Andersson; Maja Abrahamsson Bolstad; [2023]
    Keywords : hosting capacity; hosting capacity methods; renewable power generation; power grid; power system analysis; complementarity; solar power; wind power; deterministic method; time series method;

    Abstract : The demand for electrical power is growing due to factors such as population growth, urbanisation, and the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. To be able to keep up with the changes in electricity demand, the Swedish power grid must connect more renewable power generation, but also  increase its transmission capacity. READ MORE

  5. 5. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.
