1. 1. Evaluating the Performance of a Solar Thermal Field: A Case Study with Proposed Improvements

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Anton Segovia Lundh; [2023]
   Keywords : solar thermal; concentrated solar power CSP ; renewable energy; performance evaluation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Given the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. READ MORE

3. 2. A study of photovoltaics and of combining solar power with an existing wind power plant

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Daniel Mittel; Max Wither; [2023]
   Keywords : photovoltaics; wind power; grid connection; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. READ MORE

4. 3. Assessment of the integration of solar heat power into food drying processes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Charalampos Psilopoulos; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable; sustainability; co2 reduction; feasibility; solar thermal; direct steam generation; drying; food industry; scope 1 emissions; sdg; sustainable development goals; spray drying; drum drying; powder; food; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit significant amounts of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs).

5. 4. Tracking Optimization in Agrivoltaic Systems : A Comparative Study for Apple Orchards

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

   Author : Maddalena Bruno; [2023]
   Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Optimization; Light sharing; Apple Orchards; Lantbruk; Optimering; Ljusdelning; Äppelodlingar;

   Abstract : Agrivoltaic (APV) systems, based on the co-location of solar panels and crops, are an innovative solution to land-use conflicts that often arise between agriculture and energy production. Their optimal functioning starts with efficient management and sharing of light between solar panels and underlying plants. READ MORE

6. 5. Design and Control of Bidirectional Converters for DC Microgrids

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

   Author : Gustav Eckerbom; Villiam Petermann; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This study aims to summarize the design of two common types of bidirectional DC-DC convertersfound in microgrids, as well as use two distinct control methods for each converter and validate theirperformance. Microgrids are decentralized, small-scale power systems that can operateindependently of the main power grid and are an important solution in order to integrate moreintermittent energy sources, such as solar and wind power, into the energy mix.
