1. 1. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

3. 2. Dynamics of a CRAFT : A simulation study on a Counter Rotating vertical Axis Floating Tilting wind turbine

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Author : Benjamin Hedlund Peters; Linda Goude; [2023]
   Keywords : wind power; counter rotating; contra rotating; offshore wind; floating wind power; vertical axis wind turbine; VAWT; renewable energy;

   Abstract : In this thesis the Counter Rotating vertical Axis Floating Tilting wind turbine (CRAFT) has been explored by creating a simulation model in the program Simulink. The CRAFT prototype is a new type of wind turbine under development by World Wide Wind and Uppsala University with the aim to produce a large scale floating vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with two cone shaped counter rotating turbines.

4. 3. Study on feasibility of small-scale pumped hydro storage- A case study in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Prashant Niroula; [2023]
   Keywords : energy storage; pumped hydropower; electricity market; investment; new technologies; feasibility; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. READ MORE

5. 4. Combining energy harvesting sources for increased system availability and using an input switching algorithm to maximise battery lifetime

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Author : Anton Hylander; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Energy harvesting is commonly used for powering low power electronics, for example Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Many energy sources are natural (e.g. solar or wind), thus the harvested power can depend on weather, time of day, and time of year. READ MORE

6. 5. Techno-Economic Study on The Alternative Power and Cooling Systems Design for Cost & Energy-Efficient Edge Cloud Data Center(s)

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

   Author : Harry Sutrisno; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The 5G technology has enabled performance-sensitive applications with low latency and high bandwidth requirements, which has put more low latency requirements on computing services. To answer this need, a small-scale data center called edge cloud is predicted to grow fast in the future. READ MORE
