  1. 21. Evaluation of liquid air as an energy storage alternative

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tomas Högberg; Martin Tholander; [2018]
    Keywords : Liquid air; LAES; Energy storage; efficiency; Flytande luft; LAES; Energilagring; verkningsgrad;

    Abstract : As renewable, intermittent energy sources are expected to increasingly replace fossil based energy, energy storage technologies are crucially important in achieving the goal of fossil free energy, a cornerstone of sustainable development. Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a novel technology that liquefies air when excess electricity is available. READ MORE

  3. 22. Hybridization with CSP in a Cuban sugar mill

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Iris Vesterberg; Sofia Westerlund; [2018]
    Keywords : Cuban sugar cane industry; bagasse; concentrating solar power; hybrid power plant; electricity generation;

    Abstract : Kuba har i dagsläget ett högt beroende av importerad olja, för att tillgodose sin växande efterfrågan på elektricitet. Importen sker främst från Venezuela. Detta beroende gör Kuba känsligt för ändringar i oljepriser samt det politiska klimatet. Den nuvarande krisen i Venezuela har haft en betydande inverkan på Kubas elproduktion. READ MORE
