  1. 1. Reactor Chemistry in LWR SMRs : Determination of the rate constant for the reaction between boric acid and hydroxyl radicals

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Fredrik Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : LWR; SMR; Water chemistry; Radiolysis; Boric acid; LWR; SMR; vattenkemi; Radiolys; Borsyra; Hydroxylradikal;

    Abstract : Ett problem vid byggandet av nya kärnkraftverk för elproduktion är de stora investeringskostnaderna samt den långa tiden det att få tillstånd för en reaktor och bygga den. Nyligen färdigställdes den tredje reaktorn vid Olkiluoto I Finland, den tog 18 år att färdigställa exklusive tiden att få tillstånd för reaktorn. READ MORE

  3. 2. Grid stability evaluation and techno-economic analysis of shared solar applications within a Swedish energy community.

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

    Author : Hugo Holsti Heijbel; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy communities; Renewable energy; Local sharing; Solar penetration; Grid stability analysis; Energigemenskaper; Förnybar energi; Lokal delning; Solpenetration; Nätstabilitetsanalys;

    Abstract : The joint European electricity production in 2022 was 2.9 PWh where 34.3% of the electricity came from sources of natural gas and coal. However, to be able to achieve the goals of the Paris agreement, greenhouse gas emissions must peak before 2025 and thus call for a rapid decarbonatization. READ MORE

  4. 3. Life cycle assessment on sodium-ion cells for energy storage systems : A cradle-to-gate study including 16 environmental perspectives, focusing on climate change impact

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

    Author : Rebecca Nibelius; [2023]
    Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; Life cycle assessment; Cradle-to-gate; Natriumbatterier; Livscykelanalys; Vagga-till-port;

    Abstract : Because of the changing energy supply landscape, with the transition towards renewable energy, an emerging demand for energy storage systems (ESS) is expected in the near future. Battery energy storage is promising to contribute to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions, but face issues considering resource use (IEA, 2023; IRENA, 2022). READ MORE

  5. 4. Model Predictive Urea Dosing Control Strategy for Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles

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

    Author : Mathias Schmekel; [2023]
    Keywords : Model predictive control; Selective catalytic reduction; Nitrogen oxides; Modell-prediktiv reglering; Selektiv katalytisk reduktion; Kväveoxider;

    Abstract : Stricter requirements on the reduction of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) in the emissions of heavy-duty diesel vehicles drives development for more efficient aftertreatment systems. An ammonia covered catalyst is one of the most successful technologies in reducing NOx by converting it into the harmless byproducts water and nitrogen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Techno-economic fesibility of a hybrid CSP (sCO2) - PV plant for hydrogen production

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

    Author : Patricia Perez De La Calle; [2023]
    Keywords : Soec oxide electrolyzer cell SOEC ; Concentrated solar plant CSP ; Super critical cO2 sCO2 ; photovoltaic field PV ; Thermal storage TES ; electrolyzer; MoSES; high temperature electrolysis THE .;

    Abstract : The global need to eliminate CO2 emissions and its consequent reduction in the use of fossil fuels drives the ongoing energy transition that highly involves the research achievements of the scientific community to reach the goals of this purpose. Renewable sources like photovoltaic and wind energy, are central to this endeavor, however, the intermittency of natural resources makes it non-dispatchable and energy storage is fundamental.
