1. 1. Implementation of Battery Energy Storage Systems in Residential Buildings : A case study of a multifamily building in southern Sweden, exploring profitability, self-sufficiency and environmental performance

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

   Author : Agnes Berg; Emelie Detert; [2021]
   Keywords : Residential Battery Energy Storage; Energilagring Batterier;

   Abstract : Energy storage is of increasing interest as an enabler of incorporating renewable intermittent power in the power systems globally. There are several technologies for energy storage, and this thesis focuses on battery energy storage systems (BESS). READ MORE

3. 2. Correlating Photoconductivity with Photochromism in Oxygen-containing Rare-earth Metal Hydride Thin Films

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

   Author : Suraya Kazi; [2021]
   Keywords : Rare-earth metal hydride; Thin film synthesis; Thin film characterization; Optical properties; Electrical properties; Chemical composition; Photochromic materials; Photoconductivity;

   Abstract : Scientists have recently discovered simultaneous photoconductivity and photochromism (i.e., optical switching upon light exposure) of oxygen-containing rare-earth metal hydrides (REMHO). A deep understanding of these extraordinary optical and electrical properties can open the door to advanced technological uses such as smart windows. READ MORE

4. 3. Electric Transport of Rare-earth Metal Oxy-hydride Thin Films

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik; Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Suraya Kazi; [2021]
   Keywords : Photochromism; Photoconductivity; Rare-earth Metal Oxy-hydride; Electric Transport; Photodarkening; Yttrium Oxy-hydride;

   Abstract : In this project, I investigate the photoconductivenature of photochromic rare-earth metal oxy hydrides (REMHO). Such materials have received increasingscientific attention since they show a color-neutralphotochromic effect that can be applied, e.g., in smartwindows or chromogenic devices. READ MORE

5. 4. Techno-economic analysis of commercial battery storage systems in Northern Europe

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Author : Albert Bergström; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : As the world looks to lower its need for fossil fuels, photovoltaics has been put forward as one of the proposed solutions. There is, however, one major drawback with the electricity production coming from photovoltaics – it is intermittent and rarely matches the electricity demand profile of society. READ MORE

6. 5. A study of the photochromic effect in oxygen containing rare-earth metal hydride thin films and multilayer structures

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Sigurbjörn Már Aðalsteinsson; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this work, we have studied the photochromic response of several oxygen containing rare-earth hydride thin films (REHO, RE = Y, Nd, Gd, and Dy). Their chemical composition was characterized by an iterative multi-method approach based on ion beams, while the photochromic effect was measured by means of optical spectrometry. READ MORE
