  1. 1. Navigating Sustainability : A case study exploring alternative energy sources for maritime shipping

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.)

    Author : Simon Nordenskiöld; [2024]
    Keywords : Maritime shipping; Alternative energy sources; Alternative fuels; Hydrogen-based fuels; Sustainable shipping; Electrofuels; Electro-methanol; Liquid Hydrogen; Electro-ammonia; Sails; Wind; Technological Innovation System; Sjöfart; Alternativa energikällor; Alternativa bränslen; Vätebaseradebränslen; Hållbar sjöfart; Elektrobränslen; Elektrometanol; Flytande väte; Elektroammoniak; Segel; Vind; Technological Innovation Systems;

    Abstract : This master thesis studies alternative energy sources for maritime shipping in Sweden. With current climate goals, and a need for change, the maritime sector currently undergoes intense transitions. For shipping companies to lower their carbon footprint, the need to replace non decarbonised fuels is hence critical. READ MORE

  3. 2. Non-Disposable and Reusable Solar Sails for Transporting Sunshades to the L1' Point

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Jörgen Smit; Thomas Östervall; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade Project; L1; Solar sailing;

    Abstract : This study evaluates the feasibility of reusing lightweight solar sails in order to transport 1.69 * 10^6 sunshades, made out of occulting membranes with free-standing SiO2 nanotube films, to the adjusted sun-Earth Lagrange point, L1'. READ MORE

  4. 3. Resonance Mitigation in the Attitude Control of a Flexible Large Solar Sail

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

    Author : Jonas Linnros; [2023]
    Keywords : Resonance; Control theory; Mechanics; Solar sail; PID; Space; Resonans; Reglerteknik; Mekanik; Solsegel; PID; Rymd;

    Abstract : This project is about the design process of a resonancemitigating algorithm for a large solar sail. The solar sail isa structure made up by four long booms in a cross patternwith suspended sails between the edges of the booms. Thespacecraft in this report is controlled using smaller rotatingsails at each tip of the booms. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sensor system for pressure measuring over a sail : Construction and implementation of a sail pressure measuring system

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Filip Palm; [2022]
    Keywords : Oceanbird; Sail pressure; KTH; pressure sensor system; Environment; Oceanbird; tryckmätningssystem; miljö; KTH; tryckmätning segel;

    Abstract : Wallenius Marine, KTH and SSPA are working together on a wind powered car carrier, that will ship cars over the atlatic. KTH has a small scale prototype of this vessel, and uses this prototype to test performance and new sensor systems, that can be used on the full scale vessel. READ MORE

  6. 5. Comparison of Achieved Fuel Savings on Ships by Different Wind Propulsion Systems Using a 3-DoF Resistance Model

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Severi Sarsila; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to determine how different wind propulsion systems should be sized in order to achieve comparable fuel savings. The selected wind propulsion systems for the comparison are Dynarig, rigid wing sail and rotor sail. To answer this question, a performance prediction program based on a 3 Degree of Freedom resistance model was developed. READ MORE
