  1. 6. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

  3. 7. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

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

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  4. 8. Deep Learning-Based Depth Estimation Models with Monocular SLAM : Impacts of Pure Rotational Movements on Scale Drift and Robustness

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Daniel Bladh; [2023]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Computer Vision; Monocular; SLAM; Depth Estimation;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the integration of deep learning-based depth estimation models with the ORB-SLAM3 framework to address challenges in monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), particularly focusing on pure rotational movements. The study investigates the viability of using pre-trained generic depth estimation networks, and hybrid combinations of these networks, to replace traditional depth sensors and improve scale accuracy in SLAM systems.

  5. 9. Data Centres as Prosumers: A Techno-Economic Analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Jeremy Ericsson Sintong; [2023]
    Keywords : Data Centres; Prosumers; Techno-Economic Analysis; Waste Heat Recovery; District Heating; Heat Supply; Air-Cooled Data Centre;

    Abstract : Rapid growth of digitalization has urged Data Centres (DC) to be more energy efficient by recovering waste heat from server racks that would otherwise be wasted. This techno-economic study is focused on upgrading low temperature waste heat from typical Air-Cooled DC for District Heating Network (DHN) market in Stockholm region. READ MORE

  6. 10. Lost in The Grocery Aisle: Navigating the challenges of food waste management through performance measurement systems and sensemaking

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för företagande och ledning; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

    Author : Lucile Vanin; Hannah Bozorgnia; [2023]
    Keywords : KPIs; Management Control Systems; Sustainability; Sustainability Performance Measurement Systems; Sensemaking;

    Abstract : This paper aims to uncover how Sustainability Performance Measurement Systems (SPMS), and more specifically KPIs, can be used as tools to make sense of the challenges inherent to sustainability management, within the specific empirical setting of food waste. Through a case study based on a global food retailer in Sweden, we aim to comprehend how employees use food waste KPIs to make sense of the challenges inherent to food waste management. READ MORE
