  1. 21. Load following in a Swedish nuclear power plant

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Jacob Bjurenfalk; [2020]
    Keywords : chemical engineering; nuclear power; load following; process engineering; electricity production; APROS; Simulations; swedish power gird; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The energy system in Sweden is currently under a great transformation, where the part of weather dependent energy sources, so called intermittent sources, like solar and wind power will get greater share in the total production of electricity while the production from stable energy sources like nuclear power is decreasing. For a long time, the nuclear power have been operating at baseload and the hydropower as flexible, though, due to the change in the current power system, nuclear power plants may need to transit to flexible operation and apply load following.

  5. 24. Scalable Frequency Control in Electric Power Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Johan Lindberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In an effort to curb climate change, the electric power system in many countries is transitioning from fossil fuels to more renewable power sources such as wind. At the same time, other countries are decommissioning their old nuclear power, and replacing it with wind power. READ MORE

  6. 25. The Complexity of Motherhood in Dystopian Novels : A comparative study of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Lois Lowry’s The Giver

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för lärande, humaniora och samhälle

    Author : Nathalie Brandstedt; [2020]
    Keywords : motherhood; maternal love; Mirror Stage; objet petit a; backlash effect;

    Abstract : This study explores how motherhood is depicted in Margaret Atwood’s and Louis Lowry’s dystopian novels The Handmaid’s Tale and The Giver. It examines the negative social and psychological consequences of forced surrogacy in the novels’ state-constructed nuclear families, looking closely at a lack of maternal love and care. READ MORE
