1. 1. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Adam Törnqvist; Vincent Edberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Offshore wind power; Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis; Renewable energy; Suit-ability map; Geographical Information System; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Spatial multikriterieanalys; Förnybar energi; Lämp-lighetskarta; Geografiskt informationssystem;

   Abstract : Recognizing the imperative transition towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, this study explores the outlooks for offshore wind power in Norway, a country endowed with extensive coastlines and favourable wind conditions. The thesis sets out to support decision-making processes by synthesizing contemporary research and applying context-specific insights to the southern half of the Norwegian economic zone (NEZ) into a comprehensive Spatial-Multi-criteria Analysis (SMCA).

3. 2. A Comparative Study on Two Offshore Wind Farm Siting Approaches in Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Anders Nyberg; Oskar Sundström; [2023]
   Keywords : Multi-Criteria Decision Making; Analytical Hierarchy Process; Cost Benefit Analysis; Offshore Wind Farm Siting; Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone; Levelized Cost of Energy; GIS; Sweden; Renewable Energy; Offshore Wind Energy; Spatial Model Comparison; Multikriterieanalys; Analytisk hierarkiprocess; Kostnadsintäktsanalys; Siting av havsbaserade vindkraftverk; Sveriges exklusiva ekonomiska zon; Nivåkostnad för energi; GIS; Sverige; Förnybar energi; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Jämförelse av spatiala modeller; Multi-Criteria Decision Making; Analytical Hierarchy Process; Cost Benefit Analysis;

   Abstract : This study aims to explore the ability of a multi-criteria decision making with analytical hierarchy process (MCDM-AHP) model to emulate the results of a cost benefit analysis (CBA) model in the context of offshore wind farm siting within the Swedish exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The research question addressed is whether the MCDM-AHP analysis produces similar results to the CBA analysis. READ MORE

4. 3. Spatial modelling of sustainable wind power development

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Martin Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : wind power; wind turbines; wind turbine siting; spatial modelling; sustainable development; GIS; multi-criteria analysis; AHP; FAHP; vindkraft; vindkraftverk; vindkraftslokalisering; spatiell modellering; hållbar utveckling; GIS; multikriterieanalys; AHP; FAHP;

   Abstract : Measures to mitigate climate change has never been a more pressing matter thanit is today and the global debate over energy security, environmental decline andlimited resources is heated, which motivates decision makers and leaders to searchfor alternative energy sources, renewable sources. The Swedish government has seta goal to make its entire domestic electricity production 100 % renewable and phaseout energy production based on fossil fuels entirely by year 2040, where wind powerwill contribute largely to that goal.

5. 4. Prioritising biochar application to arable land in Sweden : A spatial multi-criteria analysis

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Fabian Osslund; [2020]
   Keywords : Biochar; Spatial multi-criteria analysis; GIS; Agriculture; Soil enhancement; Biochar volume potential;

   Abstract : Biochar, the solid product of thermal conversion of biomass with little or no available air, is acknowledged as a carbon dioxide removal technique and soil enhancer among other applications. Its potential soil enhancing properties consists of increased water and nutrient holding capacities, liming effects and sorption of pollutants. READ MORE

6. 5. Groundwater chemistry evaluation and a GIS-based approach for determining groundwater potential in Mörbylånga, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Nikolas Benavides Höglund; [2018]
   Keywords : Groundwater chemistry; Groundwater potential; Mörbylånga; Öland; Chemical analysis; Hydrogeology; GIS; Multi-criteria analysis; Water quality guidelines; Groundwater deficit; Water shortage; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Recently, several regions in southern Sweden suffered extremely low groundwater levels following a long-term infrequency in rainfall. In response, irrigation was banned in many of the affected municipalities during 2016–2017, amongst which Mörbylånga municipality was one. READ MORE
