1. 1. Control of carbon dioxide capture from biomass CHP plants : Designing a suitable control system to realize the flexible operation of the CO2 capture system

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Tanmmay Rout; [2023]
   Keywords : Carbon capture; biomass fired combined heat and power plant; MEA based chemical absorption; flue gas; dynamic operation; PI controllers;

   Abstract : This degree project studies the integration of carbon capture system into biomass fired combined heat and power (bio-CHP) plants. The key disturbances from bio-CHP plants include flue gas flow rate, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and available heat for the reboiler because the use of versatile biomass and the dynamic operation of CHP plants results in large fluctuations in the properties of flue gas and the heat input for CO2 capture.

3. 2. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

   Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
   Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

4. 3. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Chi Yuen Hui; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Climate Change; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; BECCS; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. READ MORE

5. 4. Decentralizing electricity generation in Cuba : Implementation of a microgrid in the sugar mil lCarlos Baliño

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

   Author : Aylin Berber; Cornelia Eriksson; [2023]
   Keywords : Microgrid; renewable energy; bagasse; self-sufficiency; Microgrid; förnybar energi; bagass; självförsörjande;

   Abstract : Cuba has a long history of different dependencies and is a country facing many energy challenges, and therefore seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The purpose of this degree project is therefore to conceptualize a microgrid based on renewable energy sources for local energy sustainability at the lowest cost possible. READ MORE

6. 5. Microgrid in George Washington, Cuba

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

   Author : Mimmi Fröjdh; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Cuba; microgrid; energy systems modelling; renewable energy; optimization; Kuba; microgrid; energisystemmodellering; förnybar energi; optimering;

   Abstract : Cuba has vast natural resources for domestic renewable energy generation, but their energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels. This contributes to a high dependence on expensive oil imports and has led to significant generation shortfalls, which in turn has resulted in extensive power outages and serious fuel crises.
