1. 1. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian; Amira Karlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Sunshade project; Diffraction grating; Artificial spider silk; Climate change; Geoengineering;

   Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.

3. 2. Evaluation of a Minute Synthesis Irradiation Model for the Frequency Containment Reserve : Disturbance down-regulation market

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Pablo Omar Luz Pedemonte; [2022]
   Keywords : Solar Energy; Photovoltaic; Irradiance variability; Synthetic solar irradiance; Ancillary services; Frequency regulation; Balancing market;

   Abstract : With the increase in energy demand, and therefore, in energy generation, new high voltage direct current export links and overseas connections of large amounts of power are being introduced. These new links are subject to possible malfunction or failures, which may causea substantial frequency increase in the power system. READ MORE

4. 3. Smartphone-based shade analysis using hemispherical fisheye imaging for local solar energy potential

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Jonas Andersson; [2020]
   Keywords : solar power; shading analysis; smartphone-based; fisheye lens; image segmentation; watershed transformation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the emerging trend of smartphone use and a rising demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) power worldwide, this master thesis project explores the potential to utilize commercially available fisheye lens optics in combination with a smartphone camera to capture and analyze local shading conditions. Photogrammetric studies involving hemispherical sky photos have since long been used for environmental studies and solar energy applications, although mostly with high-end costly equipment. READ MORE
