  1. 21. Flexible Sector Coupling (FSC) of Electrical and Thermal Sectors via Thermal Energy Storage (TES) : A Case Study on Oskarshamn Energi

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

    Author : Raúl Calvo García; Jose María Marín Arcos; [2023]
    Keywords : Flexible sector coupling FSC ; district heating DH ; thermal energy storage TES ; heat pump HP ; capacity optimization; dispatch optimization; open-access tools; Flexibel sektorkoppling; fjärrvärme; termisk energilagring; värmepump; kapacitetsoptimering; leveransoptimering; verktyg med öppen tillgång;

    Abstract : The integration of distributed energy sources and systems is of high relevance for the transition towards a more sustainable energy system. Taking into consideration the  amount of emissions produced by the heating sector, which account for at least half of the energy demand in buildings, district heating systems have the potential to play a key role in the transition, by enabling the integration of various energy sources and provide flexible energy services to the grid.

  3. 22. Towards Affordable Sodium-Ion Batteries : Mechanochemical Synthesis and Electrochemical Assessment of Iron-Based Fluorophosphate Cathode Material

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Ratna Juwita; [2023]
    Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; electrical energy storage EES ; iron oxide; positive electrode; material characterization; electrochemical; discharge capacity.; Natriumjonbatterier; elektrisk energilagring EES ; järnoxid; positiv elektrod; materialkarakterisering; elektrokemisk; urladdningskapacitet;

    Abstract : An urgent transformation from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources to combat climate change has led to the utilization of renewable energies like solar, wind, and tidal power. However, the intermittency of these sources hinders their wider implementation. To address this, large-scale electrical energy storage (EES) systems are needed. READ MORE

  4. 23. Crime & Authority: State Actors’ Protection - A Study on the Correlation Between Functional Immunity and Rules on Obedience to Orders

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Juridiska fakulteten

    Keywords : Functional immunity; International criminal law; Duty of obedience; Förmans order; State officials; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Functional immunity shields individuals from criminal responsibility when they commit a criminal act in a foreign state, on behalf of their home state. However, a prevailing issue in this domain is the ambiguity surrounding the scope of individuals that are eligible for functional immunity. READ MORE

  5. 24. Centralised MPC for Long-term Voltage Stability Control of Power System

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

    Author : Johan Hallberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Voltage stability; Model predictive control; Tap-changing transformer; Capacitor bank; Spänningsstabilitet; Model prediktiv reglering; Lindningskopplare; Kondensatorbank;

    Abstract : In a power system it is important to keep voltages at specific levels at network buses. Deviations from that can lead to reduced efficiency of transferred power or, in more severe cases, widespread power outages affecting large parts of society. There exists a variety of power system devices that have the ability to regulate the voltage levels. READ MORE

  6. 25. The Effects of Aid on Fiscal Capacity: An econometric analysis on African countries (1960-2015)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Noora Kovalainen; [2023]
    Keywords : State Capacity; Fiscal capacity; Aid; Africa; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Low tax revenues in many African countries are hindering sustained economic development and aid could have an inhibiting effect on the development of fiscal capacity. This paper will use newly published high-quality data on tax revenues to dive deeper into the effects of aid on hard-to-collect taxes in Africa between 1960-2015. READ MORE
