  1. 1. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Solar PV and Lithium-ion BESS for Commercial Buildings in Sweden : Techno-economic evaluation of Peak Shaving, Energy Arbitrage and Frequency Regulation as management strategies.

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

    Author : Zacharias Sköld; [2023]
    Keywords : Li-BESS; Solar PV; Commercial buildings; Management; Frequency Regulation; Lithium-jon-batterier; Solceller; Kommersiella Byggnader; Styrstrategier; Frekvensreglering;

    Abstract : The residential and commercial sector is the largest consumer of electricity in Sweden and therefore highly affected by fluctuations in electricity price. On the other hand, there is a large potential to reduce both the electricity demand and emissions from electricity generation on a national level if measures are taken within this sector. READ MORE

  6. 5. Urban tree canopy mapping -an open source deep learning approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Rydlinge; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; AI; deep learning; urban trees; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Urban trees have an important role to provide ecosystem services and to make our cities greener and more sustainable. The changing climate and densification of cities make it even more valuable to preserve and investigate in urban trees. READ MORE
