  1. 1. Battery storage implementation in Sweden and sizing software development

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Santiago Moreano Rojas; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Due to the rampant growth of the penetration of renewables into the electrical grids across the world, more challenges appear in the way to assure the optimal operation of the energy system. More particularly, in the case of Sweden, the nuclear power decommissioning tendency and the 100% renewable energy target by 2040, set two strong additional motivations for the rise of issues regarding variability, uncertainty, stability, balancing and quality in the grid.

  3. 2. Qualification of a Physical Model of Cladding Creep During Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Robin Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dry Storage; Thermal Creep; Zircaloy-4; Pellet-Cladding Interaction; Torrt Förvar; Termisk Krypning; Zircaloy-4; Kuts-Kapsling Interaktion;

    Abstract : In dry interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, thermal creep is one of the major threats to the fuel cladding integrity due to the constant decay heat generation from the fission products and minor actinides in the fuel, and the increase in fuel rod internal pressure which is present after burnup. Plenty of research has been done on either empty cladding tubes irradiated in a research reactor, or on spent fuel that is defueled prior to the examination. READ MORE

  4. 3. Energy Security: The European Union’s Achilles Heel? : A Case Study on How Energy Security Has Impacted the European Union’s Position in the Joint comprehensive plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2022.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för statsvetenskap (ST)

    Author : Sayeh Ghaderi; [2022]
    Keywords : The European Union; Iran Nuclear Deal; the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action JCPOA ; Energy Security; Iran; Russia;

    Abstract : This essay examines how energy security has influenced the EuropeanUnion's stand in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2022. The study aims to provide a better knowledge of the current political atmosphere and the challenges to the European Union's energy needs in comparison to the other parties involved in the JCPOA (the United States, China, Russia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom).

  5. 4. Web-based prototype for protecting controllers from existing cyber-attacks in an industrial control system

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Pa Sanyang; [2020]
    Keywords : ICS; SCADA; Modbus; Honeypot; Conpot; Cyber attacks; MITM; DoS; Flooding; Reverse proxy server; AWS; ICS; SCADA; Modbus; Honeypot; Conpot; Cyber attacks; MITM; DoS; Flooding; Reverse proxy server; AWS;

    Abstract : Industrial control system or ICS is a critical part of the infrastructure in society. An example of ICS is the rail networks or energy plants like the nuclear plant. SCADA is an ICS system following a hierarchical structure. Due to the fact that a control system can be very large, monitoring remote through networks is an effective way to do so. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Nuclear Option : A Global Sustainability Appraisal of Civil Nuclear Energy

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Sebastian Arnström; [2020]
    Keywords : nuclear power; solar power; wind power; sustainability; sustainable development; sustainable energy development; sustainability of nuclear power; nuclear accidents; nuclear weapons proliferation; nuclear fuel depletion;

    Abstract : Energy production systems are essential for human progress. They fuel the technologies that underpin economic growth and are prerequisite for efficient food production, education and healthcare. On the flip side, they also incur substantial eco-social costs. READ MORE
