  1. 1. 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. 2. Analysis of a shape morphing structural battery: manufacturing, analytical modeling and numerical simulation

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Alfredo Bici; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A reduction in the global use of fossil fuels is necessary when striving for a more sustainable future. One key strategy in the transition from fossil fuels is electrification. This strategy is particularly prominent within the transport sector, where more efficient ways to store electric energy are being pursued. READ MORE

  4. 3. Paths forward for Sustainable Maritime Transport : A techno-economic optimization framework for next generation vessels

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

    Author : Julian Ulrich Hausweiler; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recently, the decarbonization of maritime transport has received increased attention, in order to align with the targets of the Paris Agreement. In 2023, the International Maritime Organization unveiled their revised greenhouse gas strategy with an ambitious target: net-zero emissions by 2050. READ MORE

  5. 4. Microwave curing of composite material

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Arief Budi Sanjaya; [2023]
    Keywords : microwave curing; cured sample; uncured sample; numerical model; contact heating.; mikrovågshärdning; härdat prov; ohärdat prov; numerisk modell; kontaktuppvärmning.;

    Abstract : Microwave curing has become a trend in composite processing due to its efficiency in energy consumption compared to the traditional curing method. However, as commonly found in every composite processing, controlling the microwave curing process remains challenging. The most feasible control method is to build a numerical model. READ MORE

  6. 5. Developing an Ar milling process to improve the contact quality to InAs nanowires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik

    Author : Chris Mkolongo; [2023]
    Keywords : InAs nanowires; Argon milling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this work was to develop a stable and reproducible argon milling process for InAs nanowires to remove the native oxide layer that increases electrical resistance. This was done by identifying a few milling parameters and studying them in relation to the milling rate of silicon dioxide (SiO2). READ MORE
